Abstract: The invention relates to injectable media for ultrasonic echography in the form of microbubbles or microballoons comprising at least two biocompatible substances A and B (gaseous at the body temperature) forming a mixture which when in suspension with usual surfactants, additives and stabilisers provides useful ultrasound contrast agents. At least one of the components (B) in the mixture is a gas whose molecular weight is greater than 80 daltons and whose solubility in water is below 0.0283 ml per ml of water at standard conditions. The presence of the first component (B) in the contrast medium may vary between 0.5 and 41 volume percent. The other component (A) of the ultrasound contrast media is a gas or a mixture of gases whose molecular weight is below 80 daltons. The second component is present in a proportion of between 59-99.5% by vol., and is preferably chosen from oxygen, air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or mixtures thereof. Gas mixtures described are found to be very effective as ultrasound contrast media. The invention also comprises a method of making the ultrasound contrast medium, the contrast agent and the ultrasound agent kit.

Abstract: Multi-screw, extrusion-compounding machines having co-rotating screw assemblies incorporating sets of modular mixing elements of non-symmetrical geometries with relatively large wing tip clearances. These sets of non-symmetrical modular mixing elements are removably mountable at any suitable axial locations along their respective rotationally-driven screw shafts for optimizing performance in relationship to particular plastic material and particular additives being compounded. The non-symmetrical geometries provide dynamic wedging pressurization for repeatedly propelling relatively large circumferential flows of the plastic material through large shear clearances. Due to the relatively large shear clearances, the plastic material is mixed at less elevated and more uniform temperatures than usually occurs with use of prior symmetrical kneading blocks or kneading discs. At less elevated temperatures most plastic materials exhibit increased viscosities. Thus, the resultant increased viscosities enable the plastic material to be processed at higher shear stresses for enhancing dispersive mixing, in spite of the relatively large clearances which are being utilized. Thus, operators of extrusion-compounding machines are provided with desirable flexibility in adapting them for enhanced performance in matching machine processing functions with the processing characteristics and parameters of plastic materials and additives being compounded.

Abstract: A breathing circuit apparatus used with a nebulizer device that generates an aerosol is adapted for use by a user for inhaling the aerosol through the user's nose and/or mouth and thereafter exhaling exhalation gas through the breathing circuit apparatus. The breathing circuit apparatus includes a container, an inlet valve, an outlet valve and a user connection port. The container defines an interior chamber therein and is coupled to the nebulizer device. The inlet valve is connected to the container and includes an air inlet port for one-way air flow of ambient air into the interior chamber. The inlet valve moves between a closed condition to prevent the ambient air from entering into the interior chamber and an opened condition to permit the ambient air to enter into the interior chamber. The outlet valve is connected to the container and includes a gas exhalation port for one-way gas flow of the exhalation gas. The outlet valve moves between a closed state to prevent exhalation gas from exiting the interior chamber and an opened state to permit exhalation gas to exit from the interior chamber. The user connection port is in fluid communication with the interior chamber and the user's nose and/or mouth when the user inhales and exhales. As the user inhales the aerosol from the interior chamber, the inlet valve is opened and the outlet valve is closed. As the user exhales, the inlet valve is closed and the outlet valve is opened to allow the exhalation gas to exit the interior chamber and discharge into the exterior ambient air.
