Abstract:
The present invention provides biodegradable microspheres, compositions comprising a subject biodegradable microsphere, and methods of using a subject biodegradable microsphere for delivery of an agent to a site in an individual.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a printed circuit board assembly that includes a first printed circuit board portion having a first thickness and including at least one plated through hole selectively electrically interconnecting electrically conductive layers of the printed circuit board assembly. A second printed circuit board portion is also provided that has a second thickness which is less than the first thickness and further includes another a second plated through hole array exposed on a surface of the second printed circuit board portion.
Abstract:
Described here are systems and methods for delivering an active agent to target tissues of the ear, nose, or throat using an expandable member having drug crystals layered thereon, and methods for manufacturing such systems. The expandable member can be delivered to the target tissues in a low-profile configuration and expanded to contact and/or dilate surrounding tissue. Expansion of the expandable member transfers the drug crystals to the target tissues, which then act as an in situ depot that enables maintenance of a therapeutic level of an active agent for a desired time period after removal of the expandable member. Multiple expansions of a single expandable member can be employed during treatment. For example, the systems and methods can be useful when it is desired to treat multiple paranasal sinuses with a single expandable member.
