Abstract: Systems and method for delivering and deploying an expandable stent to treat Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) involving large and medium-sized blood vessels. The disclosed systems include a catheter, a shaft comprising a distal end disposed within the catheter, an expandable stent comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the shaft is coupled to the expandable stent and the shaft is disposed within the expandable stent, and a plurality of struts, wherein a first end of each strut is coupled to the shaft and a second end of each strut is coupled to the expandable stent. Longitudinal movement of the shaft relative to the expandable stent extends the plurality of struts radially outward and expands the expandable stent, similar to umbrella. The plurality of struts provides radial force to the expandable stent in an expanded configuration to the vessel walls of the patient.

Abstract: Intervertebral devices and systems, and methods of their use, are disclosed having configurations suitable for placement between two adjacent vertebrae, replacing the functionality of the disc therebetween. Intervertebral devices and systems contemplated herein are implantable devices intended for replacement of a vertebral disc, which may have deteriorated due to disease for example. The intervertebral devices and systems are configured to allow for ample placement of therapeutic agents therein, including bone growth enhancement material, which may lead to better fusion between adjacent vertebral bones. The intervertebral devices and systems are configured for use in minimally invasive procedures, if desired.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for closing abnormal communications between one or more vessels or a vessel and an organ. The devices and methods described herein are configured to divert a flow of a body fluid such as, for example, blood or bile away from the abnormal conduit thereby promoting thrombosis and occlusion in the case of blood vessel to blood vessel communication or an aneurysm and/or decrease in size of and epithelization of the communication such as in the case of a fistula.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition that provides enhanced macro/microcirculation when applied on skin or is ingested. This composition has applications in areas such as reduction of under-eye dark circles, scalp health, reduction in under-arm darkening when applied topically and provides reduction in cardiovascular diseases when ingested orally. The anti-inflammatory and skin health benefits including anti-aging and skin lightening benefits are achieved using a combination of extract of Rubia cordifolia and Butea monosperma.
