Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining whether to extend a recording of a media asset based on analyzing user data. A media guidance application may determine that a media asset is recording during a scheduled time slot that has a start time and an end time. The media guidance application may determine that the media asset will be transmitted outside of the scheduled time slot based on inputs from a plurality of users. In response to determining that the media asset will be transmitted outside of the scheduled time, the media guidance application may extend the recording of the media asset beyond the scheduled time slot by a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract: An implantable prosthetic valve includes a radially collapsible and expandable annular frame having three commissure attachment posts and four rows of circumferential struts. The rows include a first row, a second row downstream of the first row, a third row downstream of the second row, and a fourth row downstream of the third row and defining an outflow end of the frame. Each row of circumferential struts includes angled struts arranged in a zig-zag pattern. A leaflet structure includes three leaflets forming three commissures, each commissure being connected to one of the commissure attachment posts only at locations along the commissure attachment posts between a first plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the frame and intersects crowns of the third row of struts and a second plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and intersects crowns of the fourth row of struts.

Abstract: A method of crimping an implantable prosthetic valve can include placing protective material over at least a portion of the implantable prosthetic valve. The protective material can be configured to occupy space between open cells of a frame of the implantable prosthetic valve to prevent damage to a leaflet structure of the implantable prosthetic valve. The method can also include crimping the implantable prosthetic valve with the protective material on the implantable prosthetic valve, and removing the protective material from between the frame and the leaflet structure of the implantable prosthetic valve.

Abstract: This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a piperidinyl-benzoimidazole structure which function as antagonists of small ubiquitin like modifier (SUMO) related modification (SUMOylation) of collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2), and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of voltage gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) related itch, anosmia, migraine event, and/or pain (e.g., neuropathic pain).

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds that can modulate the amount of Nav1.7 protein, a key protein in pain signaling, that is present in the cellular surface and methods for using such compounds. In particular, compounds of the invention modulate the amount of Nav1.7 protein on the cellular surface by modulating SUMOylation of CRMP2. Thus, compounds of the invention can be used to treat various clinical conditions associated with the presence and/or activation of Nav1.7 protein on the cellular surface and/or SUMOylation of CRMP2.

Abstract: Devices and systems for treating based on light therapy are disclosed. One example device includes an eyewear configured for placement in front of an eye to allow light to reach the eye, and one or more filters having transmission spectra within a range that approximately spans 450 to 570 nm associated with blue or green light. The one or more filters is configured to block light spectra outside of said range and to allow the blue or green light to reach the eye for administering light therapy to a subject exhibiting pain.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve comprises a radially collapsible and expandable annular frame and a leaflet structure comprising three leaflets. Each leaflet has an upper edge portion, a curved lower edge portion and two side flaps, wherein each side flap is connected to an adjacent side flap of another leaflet to form commissures of the leaflet structure, with each commissure being attached to the frame. An annular inner sleeve comprises three U-shaped portions positioned along the curved lower edge portions of the leaflets. An annular outer sleeve extends around are outer surface of the frame, wherein the outer sleeve is made of pericardium. The frame is made of Nitinol and the prosthetic valve can be radially crimped to a radially collapsed configuration inside a sheath for delivery into a patient's body and self-expand to a radially expanded configuration when released from the sheath inside the patient's body.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for managing and minimizing chronic pain. In particular, provided herein are systems and methods for managing and minimizing chronic pain with light therapy.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing a bubble network are described. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed including providing an isolated base station having a coverage area, providing a local HetNet Gateway (HNG) disposed within the coverage area and in communication with the isolated base station, providing a local Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in communication with the local HNG and disposed within the coverage area, and wherein the bubble network is disconnected from a mobile operator core network.

Abstract: A valve catheter is advanced through a patient's vasculature while a prosthetic heart valve is attached to flexible extensions along a distal end thereof. The valve catheter is advanced through a tubular sleeve for exposing the prosthetic heart valve and allowing the prosthetic heart valve to self-expand while the extensions remain attached to the prosthetic heart valve. A release mechanism on a handle portion is actuated for releasing the prosthetic heart valve from the extensions, thereby implanting the prosthetic heart in a native heart valve. If the operator is not satisfied with the initial expansion, the prosthetic heart valve may be reoriented before release from the extensions by retracting the prosthetic heart valve back into the tubular sleeve, adjusting the orientation of the prosthetic heart valve and then re-advancing the valve catheter from the tubular sleeve for allowing the prosthetic heart valve to re-self-expand at a more desirable location.
