    摘要: The disclosure provides methods, kits and systems for detecting a metabolite that is metabolized from a nucleotide in reverse transcriptase inhibitor in a biological sample obtained from a subject, and uses thereof in monitoring adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis and counseling subjects who are engaged in or prescribed pre-exposure prophylaxis. The present disclosure also provides methods of preventing HIV infection in patients at risk of contracting infection by monitoring adherence to a regimen and adjusting or modifying the dosing schedule of the regimen accordingly. The metabolite may be detected using proteomic methods, including but not limited to antibody based methods, such as a lateral flow immunoassay or lab based assays such as semi-quantitative LC-MS/MS.

    摘要: A method of preparing a cryo-surgical system for treatment includes accessing a container containing a refrigerant, a delivery tube having a first end configured to be in flow communication with the container and a second end opposite the first end. The system further includes a plurality of flexible finger portions disposed proximate the second end of the delivery tube opposite the first end. A porous applicator bud is disposed proximate the second end of the delivery tube. The porous applicator bud includes a body portion disposed between the plurality of flexible finger portions and a contact surface extending from the plurality of flexible finger portions. An adjustment ring disposed along the delivery tube adjacent to the plurality of flexible finger portions can be used to adjust the size of the contact surface of the porous applicator bud.

    摘要: A sample collector and test device is disclosed. The sample collector and test device may be used together as a diagnostic tool for collecting and assay of analytes contained in a sample. A sample collector is also disclosed which may be used with existing sample containers and or test devices. The sample collector may indicate sample adequacy when a sufficient volume of sample has been collected for assay and may also include a sample retaining feature which retains a portion of expressed sample for confirmatory testing, if desirable. The sample collector may also include a mechanism for expressing sample in a sample collector and/or test device. A test device is also disclosed for retaining and assay of an expressed sample. The disclosed test device may be used with existing sample collectors. In a preferred embodiment, test device is used with a preferred sample collector. Test device may include a locking feature for locking a sample retained on a sample collector or test device may be used to receive expressed sample collected from a syringe or another suitable sample delivery device.

    摘要: A device for collecting and transporting aqueous fluid from the oral cavity to a lateral chromatographic strip for test is disclosed. The lateral chromatographic strip is placed within and extend along a cavity defined in a housing. At least one inspection site to the lateral chromatographic strip is provided to enable inspection of selected sites on the lateral chromatographic strip for test results. A porous wick material protrudes from the housing to a collection site exterior of the housing at one end and communicates to the lateral chromatographic strip at the other end. The porous wick material has particulate construction, the particles adsorbing aqueous oral fluid to transport the fluid from the mouth to the lateral chromatographic strip without substantial absorption. The particles of the porous wick material are bound together to define a continuous interstitial volume for the flow of oral fluid to be transported and are treated to be hydrophilic to the adsorbed oral fluids. The porous wick material readily releases oral fluid to the lateral chromatographic strip. Prevention of reverse flow to the oral cavity from the lateral chromatographic strip naturally occurs due to the circuitous flow path of the porous wick material. A bite plate is coupled to the housing and insertable between the teeth of the patient to position the porous wick in the oral cavity for collecting the oral fluid. The bite plate is typically held in place by the occlusal force of the teeth, preferably the molars and/or the bicuspids, to position the porous wick in the buccal space. By observing the lateral chromatographic strip while the test device is in the mouth immediate test results are obtained.
