Abstract: In general, scapular tethers and methods of using scapular tethers are provided. A tether is configured to be implanted in a body of a patient and to control movement of the patient's scapula. In an exemplary embodiment, the tether is configured to be attached to at least one body structure in a patient. The tether includes a flexible member configured to, when implanted in the patient, flex in response to movement of the patient's scapula accompanying arm movement of the patient.

Abstract: The disclosure provides iron-based metallurgical compositions comprising iron and alloying elements of about (0.01) to about (0.65) wt %, based on the weight of the composition, of carbon; about (1) to about (2.0) wt %, based on the weight of the composition, of molybdenum; about (0.25) to about (2.0) wt %, based on the weight of the composition, of manganese; about (0.25) to about (2.0) wt %, based on the weight of the composition, of silicon; and about (0.05) to about (0.6) wt %, based on the weight of the composition, of vanadium. In some embodiments, the iron-based metallurgical composition is a powder metallurgical composition.

Abstract: A support apparatus for supporting components of a dental material includes two individual bottles each capable of receiving therein a component which can be shaken. Each individual bottle has a coding associated therewith and a cover has cover regions with respective codings corresponding to the bottle coding. A mixing base has a pair of recesses each with individual coding corresponding to the coding of a respective one of the individual bottles, whereby each respective bottle has a respective cover region and a respective recess of the mixing base associated therewith and identifiable as associated therewith by virtue of the corresponding coding thereon. The individual bottles collectively comprise a bottle unit and are closeable by a common cover.
