Abstract: The present invention provides improved light delivery catheters for use in therapeutic methods, such as PDT, that require illumination of target tissue within a blood vessel or other hollow body organ. An improved catheter comprises a catheter shaft having a light treatment zone at its distal end. A light guide, such as an optical fiber, in the catheter shaft transmits light from a light source at the proximal end of the catheter shaft to the light treatment zone. An occlusion balloon is positioned on the distal end of the catheter shaft adjacent to the light treatment zone. An inflation lumen in the catheter shaft, and in fluid communication with the balloon, delivers fluid from an inflation fluid source at the proximal end of the catheter shaft to the balloon. An infusion lument in the catheter shaft delivers infusion fluid from an infusion fluid source at the proximal end of the catheter shaft to the light treatment zone. A plurality of infusion ports formed on the light treatment zone, and in fluid communication with the infusion lumen, deliver infusion fluid to the hollow body organ so that blood can be flushed from region between the light treatment zone and target tissue.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne globalement les énantiomères de para-hydroxy-- milnacipran ou les congénères de ces derniers. Des dosages biologiques ont démontré que le para-hydroxy--milnacipran racémique est sensiblement d'une efficacité équivalente pour inhiber le captage de la sérotonine et de la norépinéphrine  (IC50 = 28,6 nM pour la norépinéphrine, IC50 = 21,7 nM pour la sérotonine). On a remarqué que le (+) -para-hydroxy-milnacipran est un inhibiteur plus puissant du captage de la norépinéphrine que du captage de la sérotonine (IC50 = 10,3 nM pour la norépinéphrine, IC50 = 22 nM pour la sérotonine). En revanche, le (-)- para-hydroxy-milnacipran est un inhibiteur plus puissant du captage de la sérotonine que du captage de la norépinéphrine (IC50 = 88,5 nM pour la norépinéphrine, IC50 = 40,3 nM pour la sérotonine). Cette invention se rapporte également aux sels et aux formes de promédicament desdits composés. Dans certaines formes de réalisation, les composés de la présente invention et un excipient pharmaceutiquement acceptable sont combinés pour préparer une formulation destinée à être administrée à un patient. La présente invention concerne également des méthodes de traitement de mammifères souffrant de divers maux, tels que par exemple, la dépression, la douleur chromique ou la fibromyalgie, qui consistent à administrer au mammifère souffrant d'un tel mal, une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace d'un composé selon la présente invention.

Abstract: Disclosed is a data synchronization service for use in a peer-to-peer computing
environment. Selected data objects are copied onto selected computing devices. A service
running on each device monitors data objects for changes. When a change is detected, the service
sends a change notification to the other devices so that they can update their copies of the data
object. A user can access a data object from any device, knowing that he will retrieve the latest
version of the data object. Instead of incurring the costs of storing a large file on every device, a
user "ghosts" the file on some devices. A ghosting device stores only metadata about the file
rather than the entire file. The user accesses the file through the ghost: access requests are sent to
a device that holds the actual contents, and those contents are presented to the user as if they
were stored locally.

IPC: C08J5/00
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: Hydrophobic polymer surfaces whose level of protein binding is less than about
50-80 ng/cm2 are achieved by: (1) applying a coating solution composed of a
solvent and a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB number of less than 5 to the
surface; and (2) drying the surface to remove the solvent and thereby bring the
surfactant into direct contact with the hydrophobic polymer. The combination of
a low HLB number and the drying step have been found to produce low binding
surfaces which can withstand multiple washes with water and/or
protein-containing solutions. Alternatively, the low binding surfaces can be
produced by applying the non-ionic surfactant to the mold surfaces which
contact molten polymer and form the polymer into a desired shape, e.g., into a
multi-well plate, a pipette tip, or the like. Further, the low binding surfaces may
be produced by incorporating non-soluble, non-ionic surfactants having an HLB
number of less than or equal to 10 into a polymer blend prior to molding the
article.
