Title: Combination therapy of lower urinary tract disorders with alpha2delta ligands and NSAIDs
Inventor: GUARNERI LUCIANO
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 2007-12-21
Granted: 2010-05-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of treating at least one symptom of lower urinary tract disease in a subject in need of treatment comprising administering to said subject a combination of an alpha<SUB>2</SUB>delta calcium channel subunit (A2d) ligand and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), wherein the administered amounts of A2d ligand and NSAID together comprise a therapeutically effective amount of an active combination of agents. The combination of A2d ligand and NSAID can result in a synergistic therapeutic effect, wherein the combined effect is greater than the additive effect resulting from separate, single administration of A2d ligand or NSAID. Combination of A2d ligand and NSAID is particularly useful in treatment of lower urinary tract disease which manifests symptoms of urinary incontinence.

Title: Process and hot-dip coating system for stabilizing a strip guided between stripping dies of the hot-dip coating system and provided with a coating
Inventor: PASCAL FONTAINE
IPC: C23C2/00
Filed: 2008-08-22

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for stabilizing a strip guided between stripping dies of a hot-dip coating system and provided with a coating, and also to a corresponding hot-dip coating system. In this context, stabilizing forces are exerted on the strip on the basis of the detected strip position by means of spools which are arranged downstream of the stripping dies in the strip running direction and act electromagnetically and in a contactless fashion on the steel strip running through. In order to improve the stabilization of the strip in the region of the stripping die, the invention proposes that the distance between the line of action of the strip-stabilizing device and the stripping dies be adjusted to a value ≤ a distance threshold value which is determined as a function of the strip width taking into account a factor Phi, wherein the factor Phi is calculated as a function of the strip thickness and the strip tension.
