Abstract: There is provided an eyedrop administrative device having a main device body, an eyedrop vessel for receiving and maintaining an eyedrop, a trajectory mechanism for expelling the eyedrop from the eyedrop vessel in an arced trajectory, thereby administering the eyedrop. Also provided is an eyelid lowering mechanism which is integrated into the eyedrop administrative device. Also provided is a method of administering an eyedrop by creating an eye pocket in the eye and expelling the eyedrop from the device in an arced trajectory from the device into the lower eyelid, also known as the eye pocket.

Abstract: Dysglycemia as a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorder or developmental diabetes. The risk is assessed based on measurement of a glucose control indicator in a blood sample. One particular example of a neurodevelopmental disorder is retinopathy of prematurity in an infant. One particular example of a glucose control indicator is ‘comprehensive glycated hemoglobin fraction’ or ‘comprehensive glycated albumin fraction.’ This is calculated using ‘total whole blood protein’ in the denominator. In the case of chronic hyperglycemia, there is an increased risk of proliferative retinopathy of prematurity. In the case of chronic hypoglycemia, there is an increased risk of non-proliferative retinopathy of prematurity. This ‘total whole blood protein’ technique could also be used to determine the glucose control status in other types of patients.

Abstract: A portable toilet apparatus in a form of collapsible, folding chair including a planar square platform with an opening formed in the central portion thereof a removable receptacle with an upper and lower ring which is accommodated in the opening, two or more elongating telescoping poles attached to the back of the chair, each telescoping pole has a locking clip to secure the pole in an extended orientation, a collapsible planar frame attached to the top of the telescoping poles, and a foldable canopy supported by the frame. The canopy is unfolded into a top planar surface and a back planar surface when the chair is opened. A removable folding privacy screen attached to the canopy. When the screen is unfolded the screen forms a generally rectangular planar surface having a plurality of outer planar surfaces opposite a plurality of inner planar surfaces covering an area including the front and two sides of the chair.
