Abstract: This invention relates to NPH-insulin (crystalline preparations) that are prepared in the presence of certain high-affinity ligands for the HisB10 Zn2+-sites of the R-state insulin hexamer. Preparation of NPH-insulin in the presence of high-affinity ligand results in crystalline NPH-insulin suspensions that are absorbed more slowly from subcutis than regular NPH-insulin.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to liquid, aqueous pharmaceutical compositions stabilised against chemical and/or physical degradation containing Factor VII polypeptides, and methods for preparing and using such compositions, as well as vials containing such compositions, and the use of such compositions in the treatment of a Factor VII-responsive syndrome. The main embodiment is represented by a liquid, aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising at least 0.01 mg/mL of a Factor VII polypeptide (i); a buffering agent (ii) suitable for keeping pH in the range of from about 4.0 to about 9.0; and at least one stabilising agent (iii) comprising a —C(?N-Z1-R1)—NH-Z2-R2 motif, e.g. benzamidine compounds and guanidine compounds such as arginine.

Abstract: Novel ligands for the HisB10 Zn2+ sites of the R-state insulin hexamer that are capable of prolonging the action of insulin preparations are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid, aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising a Factor VII polypeptide (e.g. human Factor VIIa) and a buffering agent; wherein the molar ratio of non-complexed calcium ions (Ca2+) to the Factor VII polypeptide is lower than 0.5. The composition may further comprise a stabilizing agent (e.g. copper or magnesium ions, benzamidine, or guanidine), a non-ionic surfactant, a tonicity modifying agent, an antioxidant and a preservative. The composition is useful for treating a Factor VII-responsive syndrome, such as bleeding disorders, including those caused by clotting Factor deficiencies (e.g. haemophilia A, haemophilia B, coagulation Factor XI deficiency, coagulation Factor VII deficiency); by thrombocytopenia or von Willebrand's disease, or by clotting Factor inhibitors, and intra cerebral haemorrhage, or excessive bleeding from any cause.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for generating a feed-through in a semiconductor wafer, which has electric circuitry embedded in a front surface whereby the hole for the feed-through is generated by the combined use of a front side protection layer and a wet KOH etch process etching the hole from the back side of the wafer, where a photomasking process is subsequently used do define the via followed by deposition of the via material.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hearing aid, which has a casing accommodating one or more sound to electric signal converting transducers (11,12) and a signal path from the transducer (11,12) to a receiver which provides a sound signal at the ear of the user. The signal processing is provided in the signal path to ensure a signal amplification/attenuation according to the needs of the user. A battery (6) is accommodated in the casing and a battery lid is arranged with a first side (1) facing the surrounding and a second side (2) facing the interior of the casing whereby the battery lid is operable for replacement of the battery. According to the invention the battery lid has means (3) for receiving at least one sound to electric signal converting transducer (11,12) and a sound transmission path is provided between the first side (1) of the battery lid and the at least one transducer (11,12).

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising insulin and novel ligands for the HisB10 Zn2+ sites of the R-state insulin hexamer. The resulting preparations have improved physical and chemical stability.
