Abstract: A bone correction system is configured to attach to the medial cuneiform and the first metatarsal of a patient's foot in a deformed configuration. An articulation joint is configured to rotate and angulate the first metatarsal with respect to the medial cuneiform. A translation assembly is configured to cause the first metatarsal to travel toward and/or against the medial cuneiform. Thus, the bone correction system is configured to iterate the patient's foot from the deformed configuration to a corrected configuration. A bone plate can permanently fix the medial cuneiform and the first metatarsal in the corrected configuration.

Abstract: A system includes an intramedullary nail, a pin, a spindle, and a compression device including a pair of arms having distal and proximal ends. The nail is inserted through a medullary canal of a bone, extends longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and includes slotted opening extending transversely through a proximal portion of the nail and elongated along a length of the nail. The pin extends longitudinally from proximal to distal ends and is inserted through the opening. The spindle is releasably coupled to an insertion handle facilitating implantation of the nail. The distal ends connected to one another via a distal block releasably engaging the spindle. The proximal ends include engaging members mounted over the pin, so that moving the spindle distally with respect to the handle correspondingly moves the pin through the opening in a distal direction relative to the nail.

Abstract: A drill guide, including: a handle; and a base connected to the handle, the base further including: a body; a lip on an outer surface of the body, the lip configured to interface an upper surface of a bone plate; a guide hole extending through the body from a first surface of the body to a second surface of the body; and a relief surface extending between the first surface of the body and the second surface of the body.

Abstract: A fixation apparatus may be attached to first and second anatomical structure segments. Images of the fixation apparatus and the attached anatomical structure segments may then be captured. In some examples, the images need not necessarily be orthogonal with respect to one another. Configuration information associated with the fixation apparatus may then be received. Additionally, first image information may be received, for example including indications of one or more locations, within the images, of at least part of one or more elements of the fixation apparatus. Additionally, second image information may be received, for example including indications of one or more locations, within the images, of at least part of the first and the second anatomical structure segments. Manipulations to the fixation apparatus for correction of the anatomical structure deformity may then be determined, and indications of the determined manipulations may then be provided to one or more users.

Abstract: Methods are provided for treating disorders associated with default mode network (DMN) dysfunction in a patient, where the methods include administering alpha-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (?-tACS) to the brain of the patient via at least one electrode, and where the ?-tACS is effective to regulate DMN dysfunction and treat disorders associated therewith. Diseases and disorders associated with DMN dysfunction include normal or abnormal aging, cognitive impairment, or neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, autism, or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Abstract: A method for syndesmosis fixation including at least one suture anchor configured to be implanted into bone and at least one suture assembly configured to extend from the suture anchor and about at least a portion of a fibula when the suture anchor is implanted in a tibia on either side of a fibular notch of the tibia. The suture assembly is selectively adjustable from a non-tensioned condition to a tensioned condition to stabilize and reduce the fibula relative to the tibia.

Abstract: An on board diagnostic (OBD) device having a radio modem is provided. An antenna of the radio modem is connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) housed within a plastic housing, where the PCB has a ground plane which is extended by a conductive extension. The conductive extension lengthens an effective length of a counterpoise of the antenna without necessitating an increase in size of the OBD device/plastic housing, resulting in maintaining a small form factor for the OBD device, while increasing antenna efficiency and/or bandwidth.

Abstract: Embodiments describe computer systems and computer programs for implementing BioCAD methods comprising one or more data models and one or more BioCAD tools, wherein the BioCAD tools enable users to design or refactor a biomolecule or to conduct a biological experiment in silico by user input of one or more components selected by the user from a database populated with information on components and scientific data of existing biomolecules and experiments. Data models of the programs are operable to manage development of the new biomolecule or experiment based on information in the databases. Computer programs also provide an output with information that enables the users to determine in silico if the newly designed or refactored molecule or biological experiment is satisfactory or not for its intended purpose in vitro and also provides the user the capability to re-design the biomolecule or experiment till it is satisfactory.
