Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for imaging or determining nucleic acids or other desired targets, for instance, within cells or tissues. In one aspect, a sample is exposed to a plurality of nucleic acid probes that are determined within the sample. In some cases, however, background fluorescence or off-target binding may make it more difficult to determine properly bound nucleic acid probes. Accordingly, other components of the samples that may be contributing to the background, such as proteins, lipids, and/or other non-targets, may be “cleared” from the sample to improve determination. However, in certain embodiments, nucleic acids or other desired targets may be prevented from also being cleared, e.g., using polymers or gels within the sample. Other aspects are generally directed to compositions or kits involving such systems, methods of using such systems, or the like.

Abstract: An adhesion promotion device is disclosed, which is capable of reducing risk factors of an anastomotic leakage after surgery. The adhesion promotion device has a main body portion disposed between biological organs serving as a joint object. The main body portion has a first region and a second region formed along an outer edge of the first region. The second region includes an adhesion promotion portion that promotes adhesion of a biological tissue. The first region includes a holding portion having a holding force with respect to the biological tissue which is stronger than that of the adhesion promotion portion.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method may generate an item layout map for a shelving unit, where the shelving unit stores item types associated with a product category. The method may determine product attributes associated with the product category and divider configurations of the shelving unit, where a divider configuration divides the shelving unit into one or more candidate regions. The method may generate an ontology entry associated with a product attribute and the divider configuration based on the item layout map and the divider configuration of the shelving unit, the ontology entry indicating a regional entropy values of a product attribute for the candidate regions generated by the divider configuration. In some instances, the method may generate a guidance instruction related to the product attribute of the product category based on the ontology entry and provide the guidance instruction to a user.
