Fusion proteins, recombinant Bacillus cereus family members that express fusion proteins, and exosporium fragments derived from spores of the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members are provided. Compositions comprising the spores or exosporium fragments are also provided. Methods involving the use of spores of recombinant Bacillus cereus family members and exosporium fragments derived from spores of a recombinant Bacillus cereus family member in the fields of animal health and aquaculture are provided. In particular, methods are for provided for using such spores or exosporium fragments for protecting an animal or an aquatic organism from a pathogen. Methods are also provided for using exosporium fragments for producing an immunogenic response in an aquatic animal. Products for use in protecting animals from pathogens are also provided, including adhesive patches, wound dressings, insert trays for livestock footbaths, hoof bandages, feed, feed additives, and insect foggers.

Device for male urinary incontinence, comprising at least one pair of underpants which at least one through hole (18) is made, into which the urogenital apparatus (19) is introduced, and at least one absorbent aid (12) provided with at least one bag (21) and connected to the external surface (13) of the underpants (11) by means of support and attachment means (14, 17, 17′); the absorbent aid (12) is provided with at least one through hole (20) substantially aligned with the through hole (18) of the underpants (11) to allow the introduction of the urogenital apparatus (19) inside said bag (21) of the absorbent aid (12).

A wound dressing comprises an antimicrobial layer. The antimicrobial layer comprises a knitted silver thread, optionally with a non-metallic thread. The thread or threads may be knitted onto a non-woven sheet of a thermoplastic material. The wound dressing may further comprise any of an absorbent material and a hydrophobic gel and may be used in a system for negative pressure wound therapy.

The present invention discloses a novel sanitary napkin (pad) with an attached wipe package designed to improve feminine hygiene during menstruation. The integrated design allows females to conveniently clean themselves during pad changes, addressing a significant hygiene disconnect often experienced in such situations. The inventor seeks to claim the unique concept and implementation of this invention.

Nursing pad with a filament core and a process thereof, and relates to the technical field of nursing pads, comprising a layer of PE waterproof film and a layer of non-woven fabric, a cotton core is filled in the gap between the PE waterproof film and the non-woven fabric, filaments are blended inside the cotton core. The main highlight of the nursing pad in this invention is that the filaments are blended into the cotton core; filaments are a type of textile material, and during the filament spinning process, elastic fibers are added to make the filaments both flexible and elastic; in addition, during production, as the filaments are transported on the conveyor belt, the cotton core does not easily loosen, which enhances the equipment's operating speed and increases production output.
