of pre-formed grooves extending generally circumferentially around the balloon when the balloon is in its folded configuration. The preformed grooves are typically uniformly spaced along the length of the balloon. An intravascular stent is removably crimped over the balloon and is at least partially retained thereon by the grooves as the stent closely follows the contour of the grooves. Typically, stents are comprised of metallic tubes having deformable metal that will conform to the grooves along the length of the balloon.
In another embodiment of the invention, a catheter assembly is used for delivering and implanting a stent in a body lumen, such as in the coronary arteries or in peripheral vessels. The catheter assembly includes an elongated catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end andInterpretation of two nutrition content claims: a New Zealand survey.
To determine how various population groups in New Zealand interpret the nutrition content claims '97% fat free' and 'no added sugar' on food labels. A survey of adult supermarket shoppers was conducted at 25 Auckland supermarkets over a six-week period in 2007. Supermarkets were located in areas where greater than 10% of the resident population were known to be Māori, Pacific or Asian, based on 2001 Census meshblock data. Four questions in the survey assessed understanding and interpretation of the nutrition content claims '97% fat free' and 'no added sugar'. There were 1,525 people who completed the survey, with approximately equal representation from Māori, Pacific, Asian and New Zealand European and Other ethnicities. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of participants correctly
