Eligibility

Recruits 45 No vulnerable populations selected in the population settings. Note: subjects under guardianship or curatorship are explicitly excluded. Informed consent: subjects must "Have given written informed consent approved by the ethical review board (ERB) governing the site"; a permanent caregiver is required to attend inclusion and follow-up visits and to assist/supervise compliance and reporting..

Pregnancy Exclusion
Women of childbearing potential: a woman is considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP), i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause
