Abstract: A surgical system includes a first trackable marker configured to be coupled to a first bone of a joint, a second trackable marker configured to be coupled to a second bone of the joint, and a tracking system configured to track a position of the first trackable marker and a position of the second trackable marker. A controller is configured to receive an input from a user specifying a user-input native deformity of the joint and determine, based on the position of the first trackable marker and the position of the second trackable marker, a detected native deformity of the joint. The controller is further configured to compare the detected native deformity of the joint to the user-input native deformity of the joint and generate an alert in response to a disagreement between the detected native deformity of the joint and the user-input native deformity of the joint.

Abstract: A surgical system includes a tracking system configured to obtain data indicative of a pose of a first bone of a joint and a pose of a second bone of the joint, a display device configured to display a graphical user interface, and circuitry configured to determine an acceptable range of flexion angles of the joint for a gap capture step, determine a current flexion angle of the joint based on the data from the tracking system, determine the current flexion angle relative to the acceptable range of flexion angles for the gap capture step, and control the display device to provide, via the graphical user interface, a visualization of the current flexion angle relative to the acceptable range of flexion angles for a gap capture step.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a balancer algorithm to perform joint balancing calculations to identify target solutions based on surgeon preference. The balancer algorithm can generate a suggested final implant plan from a predetermined range. The balancer algorithm can be used in a knee arthroplasty procedure to generate bone resection depths, bone gaps, implant angulations, required soft tissue release, etc. Input to the balancer algorithm can include preoperative data, intraoperative data, and surgeon preference data.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, methods and kits for treating acne and other skin conditions influenced by P. acnes, which combine administration of low levels of at least one C2 to C5 polycarboxylic acid and blue light to skin in need of treatment for such conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to color stable personal care compositions that provide anti-oxidiation, moisturization, and/or prevent biodegradation in personal care formulations. These compositions contain erythorbic acid or a salt thereof, caffeic acid or a salt thereof, ?-gluconolactone, or a mixture thereof. The present invention further relates to methods of moisturizing skin with erythorbic acid or a salt thereof, or ?-gluconolactone. The present invention also relates to concentrates of active ingredients preloaded with a sufficient amount of an anti-oxidation, moisturizing and/or biodegradation prevention agent so that when it is diluted for use, the final formulation includes an anti-oxidation, moisturizing and/or biodegradation prevention effective amount of the anti-oxidation, moisturizing, and/or biodegradation prevention agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling allergens by applying an anti-allergenic effective amount of one or more anti-allergenic agents selected from hyperbranched polymers, amines (including tertiary amines), hops extracts, anti-allergenic iodo derivatives, quaternary ammonium compounds, hydantoins and hydantoin blends, polyhexamethylenebiguanidine hydrochloride, natural oils, anti-allergenic natural acids, sodium carbonate, chelating agents, cyclic ketone acids (e.g., dehydroacetic acid (DHA) and salts thereof (including sodium dehydroacetate and the monohydrate thereof)), anti-allergenic surfactants, organic phosphates, hydrogen peroxide, butylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, sodium salicylate, and mixtures thereof, to the allergens or a substrate on which they are located. These anti-allergenic agents are particularly effective at controlling household allergens, such as dust mites.
