Abstract: The present disclosure generally includes methods and systems for recommending a lab test for a patient is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a proposed prescription for the patient from an external data source. The method further includes obtaining patient attributes for the patient, including a diagnosis of the patient. The method also includes determining whether to recommend one or more different lab tests for the patient prior to the patient beginning the proposed prescription based on the proposed prescription and the patient attributes, and providing a testing recommendation to a customer relationship management system, wherein the testing recommendation indicates the one or more different tests that are recommended for the patient in response to determining to recommend one or more different lab tests for the patient, wherein the customer relationship management system transmits the testing recommendation to a healthcare system of a clinic of the patient.

Abstract: A bioabsorbable implant including an elongated metallic element having an alloy including more than about 70% by weight magnesium and about 2-20% by weight lithium, and being substantially free of rare earth metals, the elongated metallic element defining at least a portion of the bioabsorbable implant, wherein the alloy defines a columnar microstructure including grains having an average grain length of at least about 1 mm, and an average grain diameter of less than about 3 mm.

Abstract: A bioabsorbable implant including an elongated metallic element including more than 50% a metal substantially free of rare earth metals, with the elongated metallic element defining at least a portion of the bioabsorbable implant.

Abstract: A bioabsorbable implant including an elongated metallic element comprising an alloy of more than about 70% by weight magnesium and about 2-20% by weight lithium, substantially free of rare earth metals. An implantable tissue filler includes a particulate material suspended in a carrier, comprising more than about 70% by weight magnesium and about 2-20% by weight lithium, substantially free of rare earth metals. A bioabsorbable implant includes an elongated metallic element having a core and at least two layers of alternating compositions of magnesium, iron, and alloys thereof. A bioabsorbable implant includes at least three wires including magnesium and defining a cylindrical sheath surrounding at least one core wire including iron. A bioabsorbable implant includes a plurality of intertwined magnesium alloy wires defining a strand, with an Fe-rich layer formed by vapor, chemical and/or electro-deposition defined on a surface of at least one of the wires.
