Abstract: Embodiments hereof relate to a delivery system for a transcatheter valve prosthesis, the delivery system having an integral centering mechanism to circumferentially center both the delivery system and the valve prosthesis within a vessel at the target implantation site. The centering mechanism may include expandable wings that may be selectively aligned with openings formed through a sidewall of an outer shaft of the delivery system, a coiled wing that may be selectively exposed through an opening formed through a sidewall of an outer shaft of the delivery system, a plurality of elongated filaments extending through a plurality of lumens of an outermost shaft of the delivery system that may be selectively deployed or expanded, an outer shaft that includes at least one pre-formed deflection segment formed thereon, a tool having a deployable lever arm, and/or a plurality of loops deployable via simultaneous longitudinal and rotational movement.

Abstract: A non-alcohol mouthwash composition includes a sweetener, a dispersing agent, a surfactant, an antimicrobial agent, a calcium ion source including calcium lactate, a phosphate ion source including monobasic sodium phosphate, a flavoring agent, a fluoride source, and water. The non-alcohol mouthwash composition includes about 0.001 weight percent of the calcium lactate and about 0.10 weight percent of the monobasic sodium phosphate, based on total weight percent of the non-alcohol mouthwash composition, and the composition has a pH greater than about 5.5.

Abstract: A rapid, on-site method for indicating the degree of spoilage, if any, of finfish by the level of bacteria present therein. A small quantity of flesh is cut from a representative fish and kneaded in a bacterial nutrient broth to extract any bacteria present. A triphenyl tetrazolium dye is added as an indicator reagent, followed by an anionic surfactant and a lower alkyl alcohol. The developed color, if any, is compared to a control color chart representative of acceptable and unsatisfactory degrees of bacterial contamination or spoilage.
