Abstract: A transdermal injection component, comprising: an injection volume configured to contain an injectable treatment therein, a plunger, the injection volume being in fluid communication with at least one orifice such that the plunger is configured to exert the injectable treatment from the injection volume through the at least one orifice; the plunger sealably engaged with the injection volume, the plunger configured to exert the injectable treatment from the injection volume through the at least one orifice so as to effect transdermal injection of the injectable treatment to a patient; the transdermal injection component being configured to engage with an actuator device configured to effect movement of the plunger to exert the injectable treatment through the at least one orifice.

Abstract: An auricular support system can include a substrate and a mold material. The substrate can include a substrate body having a first end and an opposed second end. At least a portion of the first end can be configured to carry an adhesive suitable to attach to a dermal surface. The second end defines at least one void. The mold material can be configured to be applied to both an auricular structure and the second end of the substrate body such that the mold material becomes disposed in the void and molds about the auricular structure. The mold material can be configured to cure after the mold material is applied to the auricular structure and the substrate body so as to support the auricular structure relative to the substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating images of the human body by solid-state magnetic resonance imaging. An example method can comprise receiving first imaging data at two or more echo times taken with a first radiofrequency configuration, receiving second imaging data at two or more echo times taken with a second radiofrequency configuration. An example method can comprise generating, based on at least the first imaging data and the second imaging data, two or more k-space datasets. An example method can comprise generating, based on at least the two or more k-space datasets, one or more images. The one or more images can comprise different image contrast.

Abstract: This invention provides prostheses for implantation into human soft tissue. One aspect of this invention provides soft tissue prostheses comprising a physiologically compatible containment sac and, contained within said sac, a normal body constituent comprising a glycosaminoglycan, mucopolysaccharide, or any other naturally occurring, highly viscous filling material known to be rapidly resorbed from tissues or known to cause little adverse tissue reaction. Also provided by this invention are methods for recontouring soft tissue at a selected body location and methods for decreasing the risk of adverse physiological reaction to an implant.
