Abstract: A surgical device for assisting in the placement of a prosthetic implant within a surgical pocket of a patient such that placement minimizes tissue stress along and inside the surgical pocket. The surgical device comprises a bag shaped as a conical frustum in which a proximal end of the conical frustum is sealed and a distal end of the conical frustum is open, with an elongated slit extending from the distal end towards the proximal end. An opening formed by the distal opening and the elongated slit is sufficiently large enough to accept the prosthetic implant into the bag. According to one embodiment, an adhesive is affixed along a portion of the elongated slit to seal the elongated slit such that the distal end remains open, thereby allowing for egress of the implant from the bag and placement into the surgical pocket.
Abstract: The disclosure provides nutritional compositions including a blend of amino acids and polyphenols. These nutritional compositions find use, for example, in treating and preventing EMS and laminitis in equines, as well as generally promoting animal health.

Abstract: A fishing rod docking system including an elongated carrier member having a front end and a rear end, a rear rod holding member configured to be coupled to, and extend away from, a top surface of the carrier member proximate the rear end, and a front rod holding member configured to be coupled to, and extend away from, the top surface of the carrier member proximate the front end, wherein the rear and front rod holding members are each configured with a plurality of receiving slots such that each receiving slot provided on the rear rod holding member has a corresponding receiving slot provided on the front rod holding member, each pair of corresponding receiving slots configured to receive and hold a fishing rod extending therethrough.
Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of a therapeutically-effective amount of the antiviral compound aciclovir and a therapeutically-effective amount of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib. The invention is further related to methods of treating functional somatic syndromes by administering a therapeutically-effective combination of aciclovir and celecoxib.
Abstract: Systems and methods for treating eating disorders using electro-physiologically active transducer intragastric balloon system (“EAT system”) are described herein. The EAT System includes an intragastric balloon that is configured to operate in a typical fashion and further modified to include an integrated electro-physiological stimulation unit. The stimulation unit is configured to generate impulses using a transducer that are suitable for stimulating sensory receptors located around the stomach. In particular, transducer transmits mechanical waves through the fluid within the IG balloon and its outer shell to any receptors of the vagus nerve system that are located in the vicinity of the IG balloon. Controlled stimulation of the vagus nerve fibers using the stimulation unit can effectively produce appetite controlling sensations of satiety beyond the typical efficacy period of an unmodified IG balloon.
Abstract: An article formed in a co-extrusion process comprises a base layer and a first cap layer disposed on the base layer. The base layer is formed from a thermoplastic olefin comprising a thermoplastic polymer, an elastomer, and a base filler. The base layer comprises greater than 15% by weight of the base filler. The first cap layer comprises at least one polyolefin and between 0-15% by weight of a first cap filler. The first cap layer has a thickness less than a thickness of the base layer. The first cap layer is configured to provide an exterior surface of the article resistant to whitening or fading caused by exposure to the ambient environment in comparison to the underlying base layer.
Abstract: A pest control lighting device having a connector capable of electrically connecting to a common lightbulb socket or electrical outlet. The pest control lighting device includes one or more light sources in electrical connection with the connector. The pest control lighting device may include an inner module capable of holding one or more pest control materials, such as an insect repellent. The pest control lighting device may further include sound emitting components that may be capable of emitting an ultrasonic sound.
