Publication number: 20240138860Abstract: Medical devices and systems for treating a stricture, for example along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract, are disclosed. An example system may include a guidewire having a distal end and defining a lumen. A stiffening rod may be slidably disposed within the lumen. The stiffening rod may have a distal end and a distal end region disposed adjacent to the distal end. The stiffening rod may be configured to shift between a first position where the distal end of the stiffening rod is disposed proximally of the distal end of the guidewire and a second position where the distal end of the stiffening rod is disposed distally of the distal end of the guidewire.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicants: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC., NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITYInventors: PETER L.

Patent number: 9535583Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided that allow a user to draw and edit a chemical structure. Aspects of the present disclosure may include receiving an input corresponding to an amendment to a portion of an in-progress chemical structure, and identifying, based at least in part upon the amended in-progress chemical structure, one or more molecular scaffolds from a set of candidate molecular scaffolds. Each molecular scaffold may be configured to, upon one or both of (i) appending to the amended portion of the in-progress chemical structure and (ii) replacing or partially replacing the amended portion of the in-progress chemical structure, provide a resulting chemical structure or chemical structure fragment that has been previously rendered. The one or more molecular scaffolds may be provided for presentation on the graphical display as option(s) for selection by a user in creating the graphical representation of the chemical structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: PERKINELMER INFORMATICS, INC.Inventors: Andrew Smellie, Mark L.
