A prosthesis can be configured to grasp intralumenal tissue when deployed within a body cavity and prevent axial flow of fluid around an exterior of the prosthesis. The prosthesis can include an expandable frame configured to radially expand and contract for deployment within the body cavity and a valve body. The expandable frame can include a frame body and a supplemental frame. The valve body can include a plurality of leaflets and one or more intermediate components. The one or more intermediate components can couple at least a portion of the leaflets to the expandable frame. The prosthesis can include an annular flap positioned around an exterior of the expandable frame.

Improved methods are described for the creation of impressions for use in the manufacture of hearing aid components. In addition methods for manufacturing components of hearing aid systems using improved ear canal impressions are described.

Impression procedure

A medication adherence system for facilitating adherence to a medication dosage schedule is provided, comprising a smart case to receive or adhere to a medication pack, a sensor for detecting a medication event, and a tangible computer readable medium interface for users to obtain feedback regarding their adherence to their respective medication dosage schedules.

Method and system for improving and assisting in medication compliance

Medication adherence apparatus

A heart valve prosthesis for replacing a native mitral valve includes a self-expanding frame with a plurality of anchoring members disposed along the lower region. A valve body is positioned within the self-expanding frame and includes a plurality of leaflets configured to allow blood flow through the self-expanding frame in only one direction. A skirt surrounds the self-expanding frame and is spaced apart therefrom for contacting surrounding tissue and impeding blood flow around the self-expanding frame. The skirt may be reinforced with wires to help maintain a desired shape. The leaflets in the valve body are preferably connected to the self-expanding frame through one or more intermediate components such that the valve body is spaced radially inwardly from an inner surface of the self-expanding frame.
