Abstract: A method may include accessing an artery in communication with an ophthalmic artery of a subject, and advancing a microcatheter along the accessed artery so as to align a distal end of the microcatheter with an ostium of the ophthalmic artery, wherein the microcatheter includes a lumen having a guidewire positioned therein. In addition, the method includes proximally withdrawing the guidewire relative to the microcatheter so as to enable a distal portion of the microcatheter to assume a curved relaxed configuration, and cannulating the ostium with the distal portion of the microcatheter when the distal portion is in the curved relaxed configuration.

Abstract: A method of identifying devolved sequences of handwriting motions is described. The method includes obtaining, via sensors of a wearable device of a computing system, data corresponding to a user attempting to perform a sequence of handwriting motions associated with one or more target inputs while wearing the wearable device. The method includes identifying, based on at least (i) the data corresponding to the user attempting to perform the sequence of handwriting motion and (ii) the one or more target inputs associated with the sequence of handwriting motions, a devolved sequence of handwriting motions to suggest to the user for inputting a respective target input of the one or more target inputs. The devolved sequence of handwriting motions is a different sequence and includes fewer handwriting motions as compared to the sequence of handwriting motions. And the method includes presenting a representation of the devolved sequence of handwriting motions.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include techniques and apparatuses for handwriting and other user gesture detection and recognition. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, via one or more sensors of a wearable device worn by a user, neuromuscular data generated from performance of a hand gesture by the user. The method also includes generating, using one or more encoders, one or more encodings by encoding the neuromuscular data; and identifying, using a language model, one or more terms from the one or more encodings. The method further includes causing display of the one or more terms to the user during performance of the hand gesture.

Abstract: A method of treating an eye of a patient may include positioning an expandable strut structure within at least one of an internal carotid artery, an ophthalmic artery, or an ostium at a junction between the internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery. Additionally, the method may include directing blood flow towards the ophthalmic artery via a diverter element associated with the expandable strut structure.

Abstract: A method may include accessing a terminal branch of an ophthalmic artery through a face of a subject. Additionally, the method may include positioning a device within the ophthalmic artery of the subject and treating at least one of a blockage, a stenosis, a lesion, plaque or other physiology in at least one of the ophthalmic artery or a junction between an internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.

Abstract: A method may include delivering a first catheter to a location within an arterial vasculature of a subject. The location may include at least one of an internal carotid artery of the subject or a junction between an ophthalmic artery of the subject and the internal carotid artery of the subject. The method also may include moving a second catheter relative to the first catheter so as to reorient a direction of a distal opening of the second catheter, the second catheter being connected to the first catheter at a joint.

Abstract: A method of inducing retrograde blood flow may include extending a sheath through opposite walls of one of an artery and a vein of a subject and through a wall of the other of the artery and the vein such that a distal end of the sheath may be positioned within one of the artery and the vein. The method may include inducing retrograde blood flow in the artery and delivering the induced retrograde blood flow into the vein of the subject via the sheath.

Abstract: Embodiments include computer implemented methods for generating a real-time personalized graduated evaluation metric associated with listings being displayed in a web browser. A user account can be authenticated by sending a set of login credentials to an authentication server and receiving an authentication token including user information. Web-based content can be displayed in the web browser application to determine that the web-based content corresponds to a listing page. A purchase metric can be generated for the listing based on a first set of listing data, a second set of listing data obtained using the first set of listing data, and the user information. A graduated evaluation metric can be selected based on the purchase metric satisfying a threshold associated with a first graduated evaluation metric and causing a web browser application to display a popup window containing a graduated visual indicia corresponding to the graduated evaluation metric.

Abstract: A method may include positioning a first device within an internal carotid artery of a subject and impeding antegrade blood flow in the internal carotid artery. Additionally, the method may include delivering a pharmaceutical agent through an external carotid artery for passage into an ophthalmic artery of the subject.

Abstract: A method for treating at least one of an ophthalmic artery or an ostium between the ophthalmic artery and an internal carotid artery of a subject may include delivering a microcatheter to a location within vasculature of the subject. The method may further include delivering a filter to a location within at least one of the ophthalmic artery or the ostium and transitioning the filter between a first delivery configuration and a second deployed configuration. Further, the method may include deploying a stent to a location within the internal carotid artery.

Abstract: A method may include inflating a first balloon within an internal carotid artery so as to block antegrade flow of blood into an ophthalmic artery.
