Abstract: A water resistant footwear having an upper made of a water vapor transpiring material resistant to water with a first extreme flap and at least a portion having a first thickness and provided with a second extreme flap. The first flap and the second flap have relative second thicknesses lower than the first thickness of the portion and are superimposed on each other with the interposition of a thermo-double-sided adhesive layer which can be activated by raising the temperature. The first flap and the second flap superimposed are fixed to each other by thermo-sealing. Furthermore, the footwear has an insole fixed to an edge of the upper and a waterproof sole obtained by direct injection molding on the upper and arranged so as to cover one face of the insole and seal it.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a formulation for detecting a species indicative of a disease in a patient. The formulation comprises a mercury-containing reagent which, when contacted with a fluid sample from the patient, colourimetrically indicates whether the fluid sample contains the species. The mercury-containing reagent is contained within a non-flowing carrier which, upon exposure to the fluid sample, causes rapid mixing of substantially all of the mercury-containing reagent and the fluid sample.
