Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated behavioral assessment. According to one aspect, a method for automated behavioral assessment is provided. The method occurs at a computing platform including a processor and memory. The method includes providing at least one stimulus for eliciting a response from a user. The method also includes obtaining, using a camera or sensor communicatively coupled to the computing platform, the at least one response. The method also includes determining, using the at least one response, a behavioral assessment associated with the user.

Abstract: A family of selectively absorbable/biodegradable, fibrous composite constructs includes different combinations of biostable and absorbable/biodegradable yarns assembled as initially interdependent, load-bearing components, transitioning to exhibit independent functional properties during in vivo end-use. The family of constructs consists of two groups, one group is made of fiber-reinforced composites of high compliance, absorbable matrices of segmented polyaxial copolyesters reinforced with multifilament yarn constructs, which are combinations of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers and at least one absorbable/biodegradable fiber selected from silk fibers and multifilament yarns made from linear segmented, l-lactide copolyesters and poly (3-hydroxyalkanoates, are useful in orthopedic, maxillofacial, urological, vascular, hernial repair and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract: Composite fibrous constructs are made of combinations of inorganic-organic hybrid monofilament or multifilament yarns containing at least 6 weight percent of inorganic micro-/nanoparticles and organic monofilament or multifilament yarn with typical examples of the hybrid yarn matrix made of absorbable or non-absorbable thermoplastic polymers and final constructs being in the form of knitted or woven meshes and braided ligatures intended to perform under specific mechanically, biologically, and/or radiologically related functions.

Abstract: This invention deals with a family of inorganic-organic hybrid, melt-extruded filaments having variable cross-sectional geometry with a cross-sectional area ranging between 100 ?2 and 4 mm2, wherein the inorganic component comprises at least 10 weight percent of the total system and is present as dispersed micro-/nanoparticles in an organic absorbable or non-absorbable matrix representing no more than 90 weight percent. Hybrid filaments are particularly useful for the production of absorbable/disintegratable coil components of an absorbable/disintegratable endoureteral stent and radiopaque surgical markers or sutures.
