Abstract: Methods of treating, reducing, or preventing lung infections and/or lung inflammation include identifying a patient in need of treatment and administering a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of at least one cationic steroid antimicrobial (CSA), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Treatment of cystic fibrosis lung infections, COPD lung infections, inflammation of the lungs in these patient populations, and lung scarring in these patient populations is also described.

Abstract: An optical device that includes at least one temporary corrective optical lens adapted to be attachable to and detachable from a non-corrective optical lens, wherein the at least one corrective lens further comprises at least one thermoplastic polymer having vision correcting or magnifying properties; and at least one non-phthalate plasticizer blended with the at least one thermoplastic polymer, wherein the corrective optical lens is attachable to the non-corrective optical lens by utilizing inherent van der Waals forces of attraction occurring between the corrective optical lens and the non-corrective optical lens, and wherein the inherent van der Waals forces of attraction are enhanced by blending the at least one non-phthalate plasticizer with the at least one thermoplastic polymer.

Abstract: An optical device including at least one corrective optical lens that is adapted to be attached to and detached from at least one non-corrective optical lens, wherein the at least one corrective lens further includes at least one thermoplastic polymer having predetermined optical characteristics that confer vision correcting or magnifying properties to the at least one thermoplastic polymer; and at least one non-phthalate plasticizer blended with the at least one thermoplastic polymer, wherein the corrective optical lens is adapted to be attachable to a surface of the non-corrective optical lens by utilizing inherent van der Waals forces of attraction occurring between the corrective optical lens and the non-corrective optical lens, and wherein the inherent van der Waals forces of attraction occurring between the corrective optical lens and the non-corrective optical lens are enhanced by blending the at least one non-phthalate plasticizer with the at least one thermoplastic polymer.

Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to methods of providing a composition containing estrogen or a biological equivalent thereof to a subject in need of such treatment, wherein a therapeutically effective amount of the estrogen or biological equivalent thereof is administered to the subject via inhalation of an electrohydrodynamic spray.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an improved electrohydrodynamic (EHD) apparatus having a time varying voltage component. The invention further relates to the use of such enhanced EHD apparatus to produce respirable and non-respirable aerosols from highly aqueous liquids, as well as the use of such aerosols. The combination of modifying surface rheology and superimposing a time varying waveform onto the direct current (DC) electrical field enables electrohydrodynamic aerosolization of high aqueous content formulations (>50% water) beyond what can be achieved through other means, including the individual gains by applying surface rheology modification and superimposing a sinusoidal waveform onto the DC electrical field individually.
