Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the method of increasing the oral bioavailability, reducing chemotherapy induced toxicity and side effects, and improving the effectiveness of pharmaceutical agents that are poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Specifically, the invention relates to poorly absorbed pharmaceutical drugs and converting them to orotate salts. The orotate salts of the drugs can be dosed at lower doses to provide the efficacy benefits of a higher dose, while reducing the drugs toxic effects at lower doses. Additionally, the orotate salts of pharmaceutical agents have better clearance and reduce the potential for drug-induced hepatic toxicity.  Therefore, an especially useful formulation of the orotate salt of the pharmaceutical agent can provide rapid and consistent action using a lower dose while reducing drug interactions and side-effects.

IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2007-09-21
Granted: 2013-01-15
Abstract: Une méthode permettant de réduire une interférence sur un affichage à cristaux liquides commence par la réception de données de pixels définissant une image comprenant plusieurs pixels; les données de pixels reçues comprennent une valeur d'intensité associée à chaque pixel. L'image est compressée par la réduction de la portée des valeurs d'intensité de tous les pixels de l'image; l'étape de compression comprend l'ajustement, de façon arithmétique, des valeurs d'intensité des pixels. Les lignes de l'image compressée qui sont placées de façon à créer une interférence sont recensées. L'image est ensuite décompressée par l'application d'une échelle à la valeur d'intensité rajustée associée seulement avec des pixels des lignes recensées. L'échelle est choisie de façon à ce qu'une image affichée sur un affichage à cristaux liquides, à partir des données de pixels de l'image décompressée, comporte moins d'interférence que l'image affichée sur un affichage à cristaux liquides à partir des données de pixels reçues.

Title: Controlled retraction syringe and plunger therefor
Inventor: JUDD DAMIEN
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2006-04-18
Granted: 2016-05-24
Abstract: A retractable syringe (11) and plunger (20) therefore are provided, whereby the plunger comprises a controlling means (62) which facilitates control of the rate of retraction of the retractable needle. By controlling the rate of needle retraction, the likelihood of blood spattering is reduced, thereby improving the user-friendliness and appeal of the retractable syringe.  Typically, the syringe is a prefilled syringe. Following plunger depression, a symmetrical ejector member (92) releases the retractable needle (40) from a retaining member (30) to thereby allow retraction of the retractable needle.  Needle retraction is facilitated by a biasing means (70), such as a spring or other compressible and/or de-compressible device. The plunger comprises a plunger housing (21), in which is located the controlling means. The controlling means may be a pneumatic air space (324) inside the plunger housing which automatically acts against the retracting needle to thereby control or regulate the rate of retraction.

Abstract: A bottom hole assembly connected to coiled tubing to create an acid tunnel in a wellbore formation. High pressure acid is pumped down the coiled tubing and out a nozzle located at the end of the bottom hole assembly.    The bottom hole assembly includes a first knuckle joint and a second knuckle joint to properly position the nozzle against the wellbore. The two knuckle joints increases the radius of curvature of the bottom hole assembly while providing a sufficient attack angle for the nozzle against the wellbore. The two knuckle joints also may reduce the chance that the nozzle will cam lock within the acid tunnel.  The two knuckle joints may be oriented such that they bend within the same plane. The nozzle may be connected onto the end of wand having a telescoping portion. The nozzle may be adapted to form an elliptical acid tunnel.

Abstract: This invention provides novel CD40L polypeptides and nucleic acids, as well as antigen presenting cells and vaccines comprising such CD40L polypeptides and/or nucleic acids, and related methods for preparing the antigen presenting cells and vaccines. The antigen presenting cells and vaccines are useful for enhancing an immune response. The invention provides a method for preparing mature dendritic cells (DCs), comprising the sequential steps of: (a) signaling isolated immature dendritic cells (iDCs) with a first signal comprising an interferon gamma receptor (IFN-?R) agonist and/or a tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor (TNF-?R) agonist to produce signaled dendritic cells; and (b) signaling said signaled dendritic cells with a second transient signal comprising an effective amount of a CD40 agonist to produce CCR7+ mature dendritic cells. Also provided by this invention are enriched populations of dendritic cells prepared by the methods of the invention. Such dendritic cells have enhanced immunostimulatory properties and increased IL-12 secretion and/or decreased IL-10 secretion. CD40 signaling can be initiated by one or more of polypeptide translated from an exogenous polynucleotide encoding CD40L (e.g., mRNA or DNA), an agonistic antibody to CD40 receptor or by CD40 ligand polypeptide. The enriched populations can be further modified by the administration of an immunogen to the DC. The DC will take up and process the immunogen on its cell surface.
