Title: Use of 4-hydroxytamoxifen for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of gynecomastia
Inventor: PALUMBO ANDREW R
IPC: A61K47/10
Filed: 2004-12-13
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating and preventing gynecomastia by administering 4-hydroxy tamoxifen to a patient. When percutaneously administered to a patient's breasts, 4-hydroxy tamoxifen concentrates locally, and exerts an anti-estrogenic effect. In patients with gynecomastia, this reduces the effective estrogen-androgen ratio in the breast tissue, thereby reducing ductal proliferation, epithelial and stromal hyperplasia, and pain. In patients at risk for developing gynecomastia, 4-hydroxy tamoxifen's anti-estrogenic effect prevents tissue proliferation and its accompanying pain.

Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different television program lengths of one half hour to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changes in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided. A conventional offset shadow (34) which is a black bar underlines the entire cell and wraps around the right edge of the cell. To tag the underlying position which defines where the cursor (32) is and thus, where it will move next portions (36) of the black bar outside the current underlying position are segmented, while the current position is painted solid.
