Abstract: A support article, method or system for comfort and/or to promote relaxation and physical support for a wearer. A support article with an elongated member with a central section and depending sides adjustable sleeves. A method including: draping an elongated support device about one or more of the neck, a shoulder, the shoulders, and/or the back of a wearer; and, inserting one or more of the wearer's hand, wrist, forearm or arm through a corresponding sleeve to provide comfortable support. The support article serves to isometrically stabilize or structurally support one or more of the head, neck muscles, and vertebrae, to quickly achieve and maintain relaxation. The support article can relieve neck, shoulder, arm, hand, and back tension by counterbalancing a wearer's cervical spine with the weight of his or her arms. The support article provides warmth and enfolding comfort, facilitating relaxation.

Abstract: A support article, method or system that can be used for comfort and/or to promote relaxation and physical support for a wearer is provided. A support article may include an elongated member with a central section and two depending sides with at least one sleeve defined therein. A method may include draping an elongated support device about one or more of the neck, a shoulder, the shoulders, and/or the back of a wearer; and, inserting one or more of the wearer's hand, wrist, forearm or arm through a corresponding armrest sleeve to provide comfortable support thereto. The support article may serve to isometrically stabilize one or more of the head, neck muscles, and vertebrae, thus enhancing its wearer's ability to quickly achieve and maintain relaxation. The support article can be used to relieve neck, shoulder, arm, hand, and back tension for a wearer by counterbalancing a wearer's cervical spine with the weight of his or her arms.

Abstract: A microutrophin containing a utrophin having internal deletions (relative to a native utrophin) in the hinge regions and a C-terminal deletion is provided. Also provided are vectors and compositions useful for delivering the microutrophin for the treatment of muscular disorders, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a handling device for a plastic trash bag including a bag-support frame having a general D-shaped configuration including a base and an arching portion having an apex, and an elongate tubular handle is pivotally connected to the frame apex of the support frame for rotational adjustment about an axis parallel to the frame base such that the handle can be rotated to, and frictionally supported in a variety of angles with respect to the plane of the frame. A resiliently spreadable clamp ring embraces the handle, and the open mouth of a trash bag can overlap the frame, and a portion of the bag can be embraced between the clamp and the handle to temporarily secure the bag in place.
