    摘要: Accordingly to one exemplary embodiment, in a computerized system allowing consumers to view health care opportunities from a plurality of different health care providers, a method comprises providing for viewing a health care opportunity offered by a health care provider. The health care opportunity has a price. The method further comprises adjusting the price of the health care opportunity based on at least one preprogrammed criteria.

    摘要: A stent having mechanically interlocked strut sections and methods of making the same. Sets of longitudinally adjacent strut sections have closed ends that are mechanically interlocked by laser cut pairs of corresponding male and female components. The contours of the male and female components generally preclude the respective male components received therein from escaping from the female components even as the dynamics of the vascular or other system within which the stent is placed urges a male component on an opposite side of a set out of a corresponding female component. Rotational movement of the mechanically interlocked male components remains generally unimpeded. Designated pairs of mechanically interlocked strut sections within a set of longitudinally adjacent strut sections are diametrically opposed, or otherwise oriented, relative to one another which keeps the sections together. Sets of neighboring mechanically interlocked adjacent strut sections are arranged out of phase relative to one another in order to increase the rigidity and flexibility of the stent.
