Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for amplifying nucleic acid polymer sequences in a high complexity nucleic acid sample. The unique compositions of the invention include a primer set composed of a mixture of two types of primers for DNA synthesis. For extension in one direction, the primers all contain modifications that destroy their ability to serve as templates that can be copied by DNA polymerases. For extension in the opposite direction the set includes at least one primer that can serve as a template and be replicated by DNA polymerases throughout its length. The method can be carried out by mixing the nucleic acid polymer sequence of interest with the set of DNA synthesis primers in an amplification reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is then subjected to temperature cycling analogous to the temperature cycling in PCR reactions. At least one primer in the primer set hybridizes to the nucleic acid polymer. It is preferred that the non-replicable primer hybridizes to the nucleic acid polymer and is extended to produce an extension product that contains sequence from the nucleic acid polymer to which the replicable primer then hybridizes. Of course, if the nucleic acid polymer is double stranded, both the replicable and nonreplicable primers will hybridize and be extended by DNA polymerase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising thioridazine, and derivatives thereof, together with antibacterials. These compositions have been found greatly enhance the activity of many classes of antibacterials, allowing the antibacterials to be administered at significantly lower doses. The thioridazine and the antibacterial act synergistically by pacifying the bacteria to the antibacterials. This synergistic affect lowering the inhibitory or effective concentration of the antimicrobials is most pronounced with the levorotatory isomer of thioridazine compared to the racemic or dextrorotatory isomer.

Abstract: Protective frame for mounting casings of the type used in construction for the subsequent installation of metal doors in general and fire doors, essentially  characterised in that  the pre-formed metal casing is internally fitted with a protective frame which provides it with the necessary stiffness for handling during transport and subsequent mounting when being embedded in external or internal walls of buildings. Once the casing setting time has elapsed, the protective frame is removed and the casing is ready for the installation of the door when needed, thereby avoiding any damage to the paint on the door owing to impacts, scratches or marks.  The invention presented offers the main advantages of providing greater ease and precision in mounting, given that it can be carried out by just one worker, considerably reducing labour whilst at the same time avoiding any damage to the door leaf.
