A medical device that is at least partially formed of a bioabsorbable metal alloy that includes a majority weight percent of magnesium and at least one metal selected of calcium, rare earth metal, yttrium, zinc, and / or zirconium.

A conditioning hair lightener system, compositions, method, and kit therefor, is disclosed which ameliorates the deleterious effects of chemical oxidative hair lightening on the strength and subjective properties of hair. The conditioning hair lightener system comprises a conditioning hair lightener emulsion having a pH of at least about 8 prepared from at least two separate components, (A) and (B). Component (A) preferably is a substantially anhydrous, substantially free-flowing composition comprising an effective hair conditioning amount of a water-dispersible, self-emulsifying, fatty acid-derived conditioner, an effective hair lightening amount of a peroxy salt compound, optionally an effective hair protective amount of hair protectant, deswelling agent, and optionally, a water-soluble cosmetic adjuvant. Component (B) preferably is an aqueous medium containing hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide source. Components (A) and (B) are maintained separate until substantially immediately before use, and are mixed together to provide a conditioning hair lightener emulsion.

A medical device that is at least partially formed of a novel metal alloy, which novel metal alloy improves the physical properties of the medical device.

The medical device at least partially includes a novel bioabsorbable metal that has a specific design features that accommodate the degradation properties of the metal.

A method and process for at least partially forming a medical device that is at least partially formed of a novel metal alloy which improves the physical properties of the medical device.

A stent that is at least partially formed of a novel metal alloy, which novel metal alloy improves the physical properties of the stent.

A stent that is at least partially formed of a novel metal alloy, which novel metal alloy improves the physical properties of the stent.

A medical device and a method and process for at least partially forming a medical device, which medical device has improved physical properties. The one or more improved physical properties of the novel metal alloy can be achieved in the medical device without having to increase the bulk, volume and / or weight of the medical device.

Methods and systems for measuring one or more properties of a soft material employ air transmitted ultrasound that is reflected from the soft material to generate a mechanical wave in the soft material. A method of measuring one or more properties of a soft material includes transmitting ultrasound through air to an interface boundary between the soft material and air. Force is applied to the soft material by reflecting the ultrasound from the soft material. A mechanical wave is generated in the soft material as a result of the force applied to the soft material. Propagation of the mechanical wave in the soft material is measured with an imaging system. One or more properties of the soft material is determined based on the measured propagation of the mechanical wave in the soft material.

The present disclosure pertains to a system for controlling a leak flow rate during respiratory therapy. The system is configured to determine a leak flow rate necessary for CO2 expulsion for an individual subject and facilitate control of the leak flow rate during therapy such that the system exhausts substantially the entire exhaled volume of gas during an expiration of the subject. The system facilitates control of the leak flow rate during therapy via an adjustable leak valve. Determining the leak flow rate for the subject and facilitating control of the leak rate may minimize noise from air flow in the system, minimize the power draw needed by a pressure generator of the system, reduce a loss of medicine added to the respiratory therapy gas, and / or have other advantages, while still expelling the desired amount of CO2.
