Abstract: Geographical mapping and linking of security and risk indicator data. Cross-references are created between location indicators and geo-spatial areas based on a statistical algorithm, in accordance with geo-spatial data. The cross-references are stored in a first data table. A credit risk indicator (CRI) is generated for each geo-spatial area based on other data, forming CRI data that is stored in second data table. A security associated with one of the location indicators is identified among security data. A first link is created between the security and a geo-spatial area based on the cross-references in the first data table. Based on the first link, a second link is created between an indicator among the CRI data in the second data table and the security. The second link is used to form instrument-level data for the security that includes the indicator. The instrument-level data is stored in a third data table.

Abstract: A protective cover for an affected area of a patient, particularly associated with an insertion site of a catheter or other puncture or opening in a patient's skin, comprising a body portion including an aperture, and a window portion, wherein the body portion and window portion each optionally comprises an antimicrobial composition. Aspects of the present invention provide articles, systems and kits for covering an incision, wound or catheter insertion site with a protective cover, and methods of using and making the protective cover.

Abstract: A device includes an input chamber, an attractant chamber, a migration channel arranged in fluid communication between an outlet of the input chamber and inlet of the attractant chamber, a baffle arranged in fluid communication between the outlet of the input chamber and the migration channel or within the migration channel, and an exit channel in fluid communication with the migration channel at a point beyond the baffle and before the migration channel enters the inlet of the attractant chamber. The baffle is configured to inhibit movement of a first type of cell through the baffle to a greater extent than the baffle inhibits movement of a second type of cell through the baffle.
