Abstract: A device having a biocompatible polymer as a body and regularly spaced radiation seeds and regularly spaced magnetic materials disposed of within the body of the biocompatible polymer, or uniformly distributed liquid radiation and magnetic fluid materials within a polymer slab, hollow thick wall polymer shell, or thin wall polymer balloon, as suitable for surgical placement within a resection cavity for treatment of at-risk tissue in the tumor margin with local hyperthermia in combination with radiation and potentially also with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy that is slowly released from the biocompatible polymer.

Abstract: A snap-on safety guard for door gaps preferably includes a jamb split tube and a cover plate. The jamb split tube includes a lengthwise gap. An adjustable jamb split tube includes a first jamb section and a second jamb section. A curved jamb device is retained in a kerf slot of a kerf-style door. A molding lip extends inward from one end of the curved jamb device and a kerf lip extends inward from an opposing end thereof. A U-shaped clip is retained in a kerf slot of a kerf-style door. The U-shaped clip includes a kerf base, an inner kerf lip and an outer kerf lip. The cover plate preferably includes a flat plate with at least one living hinge formed parallel with a length of the cover plate. An inner surface of the cover plate is attached to one of the jamb tubes.

Abstract: A safety guard for door gaps preferably includes a telescoping tube cover, a compression spring, a top bushing, a top hinge tube and a bottom pin bushing. The telescoping tube cover includes a first tube and a second tube. The compression spring is inserted into first tube and the second tube is inserted into the first tube. The top bushing is inserted into a top of the second tube. The second bottom bushing is inserted into a bottom of the first tube. A second embodiment of the safety guard includes the telescoping tube cover, the top bushing, the top hinge tube, the bottom pin bushing and a fastener. A third embodiment of the door safety guard preferably includes a safety tube, a top pin bushing, the bottom pin bushing and an extra length hinge pin.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the detection of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme activity in blood samples are described. Some embodiments disclosed herein provide methods for detecting G6PD activity in undiluted or minimally diluted blood samples, including obtaining a blood sample, and detecting G6PD activity present in the undiluted or minimally diluted blood sample by epifluorescence. Also provided are methods for detecting G6PD activity and detecting a bloodborne microorganism as two parts of a single test.
