Abstract: In various aspects, the invention provides compositions of variable-length hydrophobically-modified polymers. These variable-length hydrophobes decorated along the hydrophilic polymer backbone provide advanced properties and allow for precise control over the behavior of the resulting amphiphilic polymer, including in aqueous solution. Such control allows for enhanced functionality of the amphiphilic polymer relative to standard single-length hydrophobe grafting designs, including for hemostasis.

Abstract: A software product includes a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to display a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the user interface including a media bin displaying one or more media elements imported into the video editing system; a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the media elements; a timeline; and a concatenator element; and responsive to a user actuating the concatenator element, concatenates the media elements present in the media bin together into a single media element and loads the single media element into the viewing window.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a polymer composition comprising an effective amount of a hydrophobically-modified polymer having functional groups along the backbone occupied by a fatty acid anhydride moiety. The polymer composition has a potent hemostatic action by gelling blood upon contact, and is suitable for treating internal and external bleeds. As disclosed herein, the modified polymer can be generated without the use of toxic reagents that would require removal from the product. Further, compositions are shelf stable even in a flowable form. That is, the hydrophobic grafts are not lost under product storage conditions (e.g., room temperature storage).

Abstract: A sprayable polymeric foam hemostat for both compressible and non-compressible (intracavitary) acute wounds is disclosed. The foam comprises hydrophobically-modified polymers, such as hm-chitosan, or other amphiphilic polymers that anchor themselves within the membrane of cells in the vicinity of the wound. By rapidly expanding upon being released from a canister pressurized with liquefied gas propellant, the foam is able to enter injured body cavities and staunch bleeding. The seal created is strong enough to substantially prevent the loss of blood from these cavities. Hydrophobically-modified polymers inherently prevent microbial infections and are suitable for oxygen transfer required during normal wound metabolism. The amphiphilic polymers form solid gel networks with blood cells to create a physical clotting mechanism that prevent loss of blood.

Abstract: A device for manipulating the temperature of a surface may include a heat transfer surface including active portions and a passive portion. The passive portion may include an inner passive portion disposed between each of the active portions and/or may include an outer passive portion that may surround each of the active portions. The active portions may form 40-90% of a total surface area of the heat transfer surface, where total surface area includes active portions and an inner passive portion. The passive portion(s) may have a thermal conductivity less than the active portion. A processor may be in electrical communication with thermoelectric modules defining or forming the active portions to generate a heat flux through the heat transfer surface. The heat flux through the active portions may be between 500 and 15,000 W/m2 during nominal operation of the device.
