Set forth are vascular valves and servovalves and methods of using the same that may be positioned in the circulatory system without interrupting blood flow to facilitate solid organ transplantation so as to reduce graft organ anoxia and degradation before and after harvesting and storage, thereby minimizing late-term cardiac allograft vasculopathy as a major cause of graft failure. Along the urinary tract, bypassing bladder-generated urge sensation by diverting urine directly from the ureters to a neobladder or collection bag alleviates intractable incontinence, nocturia, urethral syndrome, overactive bladder, dysuria, or frequency. Where the lower tract is missing, a prosthesis can thwart disease and preclude the degenerative metaplastic transition to carcinoma risked when gut is used to construct a conduit for urine, a neobladder, and / or high-maintenance stoma. Druglines to valves and servovalves can directly pipeline-target medication to nidi, anastomoses, or any other trouble spots.

Most current incontinence detection systems are expensive, difficult to use, uncomfortable to wear, or suffer limitations in the scope of detected events. However, the present invention features an incontinence detection system that uses inexpensive technologies and is disposable. The system can indicate the degree and persistence of wetness. The degree of wetness can be measured across various factors, including geometrical coverage via multiple independent detection points, each comprising a “detection cell.” A suitably networked system can determine the time and location of wetness. Each cell might be tuned for various factors such as material fluid affinity and exposure area. An advantage of the invention is the ease with which it can be adapted to distinguish fecal incontinence as distinct from urinary incontinence; both forms of incontinence can be monitored using the same system described herein. Another advantage includes the ability to estimate urine salinity.

A biocompatible hydrogel composition for use in biomedical applications is disclosed. The composition comprises a silk fibroin-based hydrogel, a crosslinkable compound, a photoinitiator, and upconversion nanoparticles.
