The present invention features a device to prevent the unwanted flow of urine in incontinent human males. This penile clamp is designed to provide an external pressure applied to the underside of the penis at the base thereof to close the urethral canal. The apparatus includes a rigid projection on the lower member of the device that applies a concentrated force on the canal. The upper bar of the device provides an attachment for a pad as an integral part of an easily disinfected clamp that is hinged at one end and provided with an adjustable tensioning closure device at its other end. The closure device is easily removable to allow one hand release of the penis restriction. A screw-type adjustment is easily set and is easily disassembled by a quick-release apparatus. While the clamp can be closed over the penis of an incontinent male to prevent urination, it does not appreciably restrict blood flow therein.

A method and system for determining the fall risk of a patient is provided. The method includes the evaluation of a patient to determine whether the patient exhibits one or more intrinsic fall risk factors selected from a group consisting of confusion, depression, altered elimination, dizziness, male gender, antiepileptic / anticonvulsant prescriptions and benzodiazepine prescriptions. A specific point value is assigned to each of the intrinsic risk factors found to be exhibited by the patient. A mobility test is also performed on the patient to evaluate the patient's ability to rise from a seated position, and a specific mobility test point value is assigned to the patient based upon the patient's performance of the mobility test. Each intrinsic risk factor's specific point value is then summed together with the specific mobility test point value to achieve a total risk score, and the patient's fall risk is determined based on the total risk score. An intervention process may be developed for the patient based on the patient's fall risk.

Following exposure to an external light source, determining: 1) the fertility of an avian egg by measuring the photon intensity (photons per second) of the egg's biophoton and luminescence; and 2) the gender of an avian egg by measuring the photon spectrum of the egg's biophoton emission and luminescence. The external light source is either an incandescent, fluorescent, LED, (pulsed or continuous wave) monochromatic or dichromatic laser light source. The detector of the photon intensity is either a low light sensing photomultiplier tube (PMT), silicon based photon counting sensor, or Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode detector. The detector of the photon spectrum is a spectrometer. Following exposure to the referenced light sources, fertile avian eggs will exhibit a higher intensity of photons than that of unfertilized avian eggs, and avian eggs of the female gender will emit a different spectrum of photons than will avian eggs of the male gender.

An improved device for male hygiene intended for collection of urine is described. An absorbent pad comprises a polymer that forms a gel upon contact with water, which is enclosed in a water-permeable, corrugated plastic pouch. The pouch is contained, optionally by adhesive, in a flexible stretchable water-impermeable sheath, which in use is placed over at least the glans of the penis. Because of the corrugations, the absorbent pad curls up into a cup shape when it swells upon absorption of urine, maintaining the device in a compact configuration for inconspicuous functioning. The absorbent pad may be supplied separately from the flexible sheath.

The invention provides a molecular biological differentiation method aiming at genders of asparagus dioecian plants and application of the molecular biological differentiation method. According to the technical scheme, four functional STS (Sequence-tagged Site) molecular markers of the gene are developed based on a CDS (Coding Sequence) of a female inhibitor gene SOFF on a Y chromosome of asparagus. On the basis, corresponding primers and universal PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification conditions are designed for self-characteristics of the four STS molecular markers; furthermore, the length of a basic group of a characteristic strip of a male plant is definitely oriented. An experiment proves that the four molecular markers provided by the invention are all located in a coding region of the female inhibitor gene SOFF of the asparagus, and are co-separated from phenotypes of the female and male genders in the aspect of molecular heredity, and the differentiation accuracy reaches 100 percent; the four molecular markers can be widely used for the differentiation of the female and male genders of the asparagus and molecular marker assisted selection of all-male or all-female varieties. Moreover, the experiment shows that the method can still be used for gender differentiation of the asparagus dioecian plants including asparagus dauricus (A.dauricus), asparagus longiflorus (A.longiflorus), A.maritumus and the like.
