Abstract: The present technology relates to depots for the treatment of postoperative pain via sustained, controlled release of a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the depot may comprise a therapeutic region comprising an analgesic, and a control region comprising a bioresorbable polymer and a releasing agent mixed with the polymer. The releasing agent may be configured to dissolve when the depot is placed in vivo to form diffusion openings in the control region. The depot may be configured to be implanted at a treatment site in vivo and, while implanted, release the therapeutic agent at the treatment site for no less than 3 days.

Abstract: The present technology relates to polymer implants. In some embodiments, the polymer implant may have a volume having minimum cross-sectional dimension of 400 ?m. The polymer implant may be configured to be implanted within a mammalian body for at least 3 days without undergoing core acidification.

Abstract: An implantable light delivery device comprises: a core portion cladded in a cladding, the core portion comprising upconversion nano-particles (UCNPs) encapsulated in an encapsulation material. The implantable light delivery device may be used in treatments such as photodynamic therapy to provide an emission of light at a wavelength configured by the selection of UCNPs. The encapsulation material may comprise hydrogel and the cladding may comprise fluorinated ethylene propylene.

Abstract: The present technology relates to implantable depots for the local, sustained, controlled release of a therapeutic agent to treat cancer. An implantable depot may comprise a biodegradable polymer mixed with a locally-acting therapeutic agent configured to treat cancer. The depot may be configured to be implanted within a patient proximate cancerous tissue and, while implanted, provide sustained exposure of the therapeutic agent at the treatment site for a period of time that is no less than 5 days.

Abstract: The present technology relates to depots for the treatment of select symptoms via sustained, controlled release of a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the depot may comprise a therapeutic region comprising the therapeutic agent, and a control region comprising a bioresorbable polymer and a releasing agent mixed with the polymer. The releasing agent may be configured to dissolve when the depot is placed in vivo to form diffusion openings in the control region. The depot may be configured to be implanted at a treatment site in vivo and, while implanted, release the therapeutic agent at the treatment site for an extended period of time.

Abstract: The present technology relates to depot assemblies for the controlled, sustained release of a therapeutic agent. The assembly can include a depot having a therapeutic region comprising an analgesic, and a control region comprising a bioresorbable polymer and a releasing agent mixed with the polymer. The releasing agent may be configured to dissolve when the depot is placed in vivo to form diffusion openings in the control region. The depot may be configured to be implanted at a treatment site in vivo and, while implanted, release the therapeutic agent at the treatment site for no less than 3 days. The assembly further includes a fixation portion coupled to the depot and configured to facilitate attachment of the depot assembly to tissue at or adjacent to the treatment site.

Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein may be directed to a delivery system including a therapeutic member configured for endoluminal placement via the delivery system into the esophagus of the patient, wherein the therapeutic member comprises a treatment portion comprising a film for controlled release of a chemotherapeutic agent. The film may comprise a control region, a therapeutic region, and a substantially impermeable base region. The film is configured to release the chemotherapeutic agent in a direction away from the substantially impermeable base region. The delivery system is configured to enable a treatment provider to position the treatment portion of the therapeutic member proximate to a treatment site associated with the esophagus of the patient, and the therapeutic member is configured to administer a therapeutically effective dose to the treatment site for a sustained period following endoluminal placement of the therapeutic member.

Abstract: Providing tailored supplemental content to a user in a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment is described. Network traffic from a user to a supplemental content provider is monitored within a first network and a supplemental content identifier (ID) is identified in the monitored traffic and linked to a profile of the device or user of the device. A supplemental content provider on a second network receives a request for supplemental content that includes the supplemental content ID and uses the received supplemental content ID to retrieve the profile linked to the supplemental content ID. Supplemental content may then be generated or retrieved based on the retrieved profile and returned to the user device.

Abstract: Rotatable article supporting plates with cabinet doors attached mounted on a rotatable central supporting shaft, the shaft being suspended, at least partially, from a mechanism for adjusting the vertical alignment of the doors relative to the cabinet door frame. The mechanism may be biased to maintain the doors in a preferred rotational position, e.g. a closed door position relative to the door frame. The preferred rotational position of the mechanism may also be adjusted to rotationally align the doors in their closed door position in the door frame. The mechanism includes a cam gear disposed in a housing which rotates on a sawtooth track in response to the adjustment of a threaded member to raise or lower the shaft and doors.
