Abstract: The present invention relates to diagnostic methods to assess the presence of quorum sensing molecules (QSM), preferably peptides (QSPs), that influence muscle wasting in humans. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of the knowledge obtained by the diagnostic method in order to influence muscle wasting diseases in animals and human, by for example providing bacteria that produce beneficial QSMs or non-harmful QSMs, providing antagonists for harmful QSMs and the like.

Abstract: Quorum-sensing peptides are provided as diagnostic biomarkers, and quorum-sensing peptide inhibiting substances are provided for use in the treatment of metastasis of colorectal cancer in a subject, in particular a human subject. Methods for reducing metastasis of colorectal cancer in a subject include administering to the subject a microorganism that reduces or blocks activity of a pro-metastatic quorum-sensing peptide or a metabolite thereof present in a gastrointestinal tract or blood of the subject; and/or that reduces or blocks production of the pro-metastatic quorum-sensing peptide or the metabolite thereof in the gastrointestinal tract or blood of the subject. The pro-metastatic quorum-sensing peptide may include EntF or the metabolite EntF* of EntF.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an anti-adsorption solution for the analysis of peptides. Also a process for the preparation of such an anti-adsorption solution and the use of said anti-adsorption solution are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oral suspension comprising meloxicam, its preparation and its use in alleviating inflammation and pain in both acute and chronic musculo-skeletal disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions suitable for oral, transdermal or parenteral (e.g. intranasal, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous) administration, wherein the composition is comprised of at least one anti-protozoal agent dissolved in a mixture of an alcohol based solvent-system, an emulsifier-system and a base-system. Also provided is a method for prepraring said anti-protozoal compositions and their use in the treatment or prevention of protozoal infections in warm-blooded animals, including humans.
