Abstract: Disclosed is a female external urinary device useful in managing urine output of a female, such as for surgical use. The urinary device generally comprises a core having a suction channel and an interior reservoir fluidically communicating with the suction channel, an absorbent layer, and a fabric cover. Desirably, the urinary device includes a moderately absorbent soaker layer disposed inwardly with respect to the core. A urinary device assembly includes the core and a pelvic belt that may be secure to the core and positioned to collect urine from a female patient.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for obtaining genome scale and fully phased epigenetic maps in a cell. The method enables maintaining intact chromatin structure and interrogating chromatin structure using chromatin accessibility maps. DNA contacts are used to fully phase the epigenetic and chromatin contact maps.

Abstract: A urinary collection device includes an outer surface and a generally fluid-permeable core that communicates fluidically with an aspiration tube. The outer surface includes an obverse opening to allow urine to flow into the fluid-permeable core when the device is positioned supralabially. On the reverse may be an actuatable fastener configured to retain the device in a reverse-folded intralabial position. In this manner the device may be placed supralabially or intralabially for urine collection as appropriate. The core may include a first knit fabric layer and a second knit fabric layer joined by a plurality of fibers, the fibers being oriented generally to extend from an obverse to a reverse position to thereby result in flow channels through the core.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting spatial proximity relationships between nucleic acid sequences, such as genomic DNA, in a cell. The method includes providing a sample of one or more crosslinked cells comprising nucleic acids; permeabilizing isolated nuclei under conditions that preserve contacts; fragmenting the nucleic acids present in the nuclei; filling in and repairing the ends with at least one labeled nucleotide; joining the filled in end of the fragmented nucleic acids that are in close physical proximity to create one or more end joined nucleic acid fragments having a junction; isolating the one or more end joined nucleic acid fragments using the labeled nucleotide; and determining the sequence at the junction of the one or more end joined nucleic acid fragments.

Abstract: A medical procedure kit includes a single-layer tray (100) having a first compartment (101) at least partially bounded by a first base member (107) and a second compartment (102) at least partially bounded by a second base member (108). At least one syringe (901) is situated within the first compartment. A Foley catheter (701), coupled to coiled tubing (702) and a fluid drain bag (703), is disposed within the second compartment. This catheter assembly is inverted, with the Foley catheter (701) and the coiled tubing (702) positioned between the second base member (108) and the fluid drain bag (703).
