Abstract: The described invention relates to the new compound “sucrose-octasulphate salified with silver” usefully applicable in the prevention and cure of infections by micro-organisms of bacterial, fungal, viral and/or yeast origins and in the promotion of tissue repair. The silver salts of sucrose octasulphate, subject of the invention have in fact been shown to possess antimicrobial activities even higher than that of known silver compounds. These properties therefore make them particularly suitable for use in different pathological or paraphysiological conditions of the skin, of the epithelia and of the mucosa both intact and lesioned.

Abstract: This invention provides new gels in the form of highly hydrated self-supporting film, comprising one or more alkaline alginates, an alkaline earth alginate, a polyalcohol and a natural, synthetic or semisynthetic polymer of hydrophilic nature, and their preparation process. These polysaccharide-matrix gels in highly hydrated self-supporting film form are suitable for use as covering and protection materials for cutaneous lesions and/or pathologies in that they are obtainable in self-supporting form in the desired thickness, are transparent, flexible, have good mechanical characteristics, are adaptable to the lesion surface without strongly adhering to it, and are permeable to gas but are impermeable to liquids and bacteria; one or more pharmacologically active substances can also be incorporated in the gel.

Abstract: This invention provides new gels in the form of highly hydrated self-supporting film, comprising one or more alkaline alginates, an alkaline earth alginate, a polyalcohol and a hyaluronic acid or a derivative thereof, and their preparation process. These polysaccharide-matrix gels in highly hydrated self-supporting film form are suitable for use as covering and protection materials for cutaneous lesions and/or pathologies in that they are obtainable in self-supporting form in the desired thickness, are transparent, flexible, have good mechanical characteristics, are adaptable to the lesion surface without strongly adhering to it, and are permeable to gas but are impermeable to liquids and bacteria; one or more pharmacologically active substances can also be incorporated in the gel.

Abstract: Salts of biotin are described with alkanolamines and the respective water soluble therapeutical compositions, suitable to be orally, parenterally and topically administered.The compositions above are particularly suitable for the treatment of the vitamin H deficiency, having a dermatologic manifestation, for the treatment of the insufficiency in multiple carboxylase enzymes, for the treatment of dermatologic phatologies, like the seborrheal dermatitis in the newborn, and for the treatment of diabetic neuropathies.
