Abstract: The present invention relates to a compression bandage for mammals, in particular for horses, comprising a tubular bandage (1) made of an elastic textile material, which can be opened and closed along a longitudinal slit (2) by means of fastening elements. To design this type of bandage in such a manner that it can be applied to the leg of a mammal using the easiest possible technique and that it can ensure an excellent fit even over an extended period of time so that the most uniformly constant and defined compressive pressure is exerted by the bandage on the leg of the mammal, the present invention proposes that the fastening elements comprise a zipper (3) which extends along the longitudinal slit (2), at last one fastener strap (4) which, when closed, straddles the longitudinal slit (2) in the transverse direction, and a hook fastener (5) which extends along the longitudinal slit (2).

Abstract: Lipoxin A4 and its analogs have been found to be effective in inhibiting apoptosis of retinal pigment epithelial cells induced by oxidative stress. Thus lipoxin A4 and its analogs, for example, lipoxin A4 epimer 15, can be used to prevent and treat retinal diseases due to the progressive degeneration of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE cells), e.g., the dry form of age-related macula degeneration. They can also be combined with other compounds known to prevent apoptosis in retinal pigment epithelial cells, e.g., docosahexaenoic acid and neuroprotectin D1.

Abstract: An apparatus to automatically secure an end of a needle after contact with a blood vessel. The apparatus includes a housing (102) and a biasing member (114), where the housing includes a hollow interior region extending between a proximal end and a distal end thereof. A proximal opening (106) is integrated into the proximal end, while a distal opening (110) is integrated into the distal end. The proximal and distal openings are configured to receive a needle (116) therethrough along a longitudinal axis. The biasing member is coupled to the housing and configured to apply a force to the needle. The force is oriented to displace the needle relative to the longitudinal axis upon retracting an end of the needle through the distal opening into the hollow interior region. Embodiments of the present invention may thus secure the end of the needle within the hollow interior region after use to prevent accidental needle sticks and exposure to blood and blood-borne pathogens.

Abstract: A system for pressure testing the joints and walls of a production pipe includes a fluid system component that can be disposed at a first end of the production pipe so as to seal off the first end of the production pipe. The fluid system component prevents the flow of fluid out of the first end of the production pipe when the pressure within the production pipe is below a predetermined level. The fluid system component includes a sacrificial element that is adapted for preferential failure when the pressure within the production pipe exceeds the predetermined level. Upon failure of the sacrificial element, fluid is able to flow out of the production pipe through the fluid system component. The system may also include a test plug that prevents the activation of a drain component in the production pipe during the pressure testing of the production pipe.
