Abstract: SelectMed will streamline communication between patients, doctors, and pharmacists. SelectMed provides patients with a secure, personalized portal, where their diagnosis and treatment options are integrated. Doctors, patients and pharmacists can communicate, upload results and provide follow up. Once a doctor enters the patient's diagnosis, SelectMed generates approved medications for that condition. Doctors then select and rank multiple medications. There is also an option for doctors to add medications not on the list. The patient and pharmacist then choose the medication covered by insurance and within their budget. Currently doctors write prescriptions without knowing the patient's insurance coverage or costs. Patients then face delays due to insurance issues, unavailability, or cost. This leads to additional doctor visits/phone calls, delaying treatment.

Abstract: A medical device for physical therapy treatment to enable patients confined to a bed to increase upper and lower extremity strength and promote a quicker return to standing and walking activities. The medical device can be a generally wedge-shaped article constructed of a resiliently compressible material designed to consistently return to its original shape after repeatedly being compressed. The medical device can have an expansive front support base, an expansive, taller rear support base, a generally flat bottom surface, left and right sides and a top surface which slopes from the expansive front support base to the taller rear support base at an angle designed to provide a proper range of motion for a patient's legs when performing a certain therapeutic exercise. The left and right sides can be provided with opposing indentations therein at about the mid portion of the medical device.

Abstract: A process for making reduced gloss thermoplastic resin compositions is provided. The process involves compounding a nitrile polymer with an electrophilic reagent to form a polymeric gel compound, blending the polymeric gel compound with a first thermoplastic resin and a weight ratio of between 5:1 and 0.5:1 to make a concentrate comprising gels dispersed in the first thermoplastic resin, and admixing the concentrate with a second thermoplastic resin produced the desired composition, wherein the concentrate is used at a level of from 2 to 60 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition. The process provides improved product consistency, and consistently yields a product exhibiting reduced gloss and high levels of impact strength with a uniformly dispersed concentration of polymeric gels therein. The compositions are useful in making molded articles exhibiting consistent reduced gloss and high impact strengths.
