Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit for protecting a skin surface of a patient comprising at least one cover sheet, which is thin and flexible, and is intended to be applied on this skin surface and at least one packaging containing an adhesive substance and having an outlet port for applying a bead of this adhesive substance which locally connects the skin of the patient and the cover sheet; which at least one cover sheet is associated with at least one first identification system carrying information corresponding to at least one first unique identifier, which system can take the form of an electronic chip, a radio frequency tag (RFID support), a barcode or a QR code; and which kit further comprises a first reading device specific to this first identification system and which makes it possible to have access to the information of which it is a carrier.

Abstract: Compounds of Formula I, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are set forth, in addition to compositions and methods of using these compounds. The compounds have activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) and may be useful in treating those infected with HCV.

Abstract: The invention concerns a kit for protecting dressings and/or traumatized skin regions of the body. The kit includes a case containing at least one non-dedicated flexible and water-impermeable base sheet or global sheet with dimensions enabling a plurality of single or individual adapted covering parts to be cut out. The base sheet is preferably made of a non-allergenic material and easily divisible into pieces or fractions of smaller dimensions, for example with a pair of scissors. The kit also includes a package containing a water-impermeable and non-allergenic pasty adhesive, having properties enabling adherence both to the skin and to the protective sheet.

Abstract: Determination of the morphology and motility of a population of cells in vitro is possible via a series of steps. The cells are imaged using a microscope and camera. A first frame of image data allows identification of parts of the image data corresponding to a cell or cells of interest. Cell morphology is determined from this data. A second frame of image data, captured subsequent to the first, allows the determination of the relative displacement of the cell or cells of interest. This provides motility data. The invention has particular application in male fertility investigations.
