Abstract: Fermented milk products can provide multiple benefits. However, it was commonly believed that fermented milk products are not suitable for the administration to canids as e.g. dogs can be intolerant to lactose. The present invention provides fermented milk products for administration to canids.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of analyzing the metabolic content of a biological sample comprising: i) providing one or more samples of extracted metabolites from the biological sample; ii) performing a chromatography coupled mass spectrometry analysis of the extracted metabolites to generate a full raw data set for full scan ions; iii) generating a full data cluster set from the full raw data set obtained in step ii) by grouping full scan ions according to isotope and adduct values; iv) performing a tandem mass spectrometry analysis of the extracted metabolites with a plurality of mass selection windows to generate a raw SWATH® data set for fragment ions; v) generating a SWATH® data cluster set from the raw SWATH® data set obtained in step iv) by grouping fragment ions according to retention time and mass values; vi) aligning the SWATH® data cluster set with the full data cluster set to generate characteristic profile for each extracted metabolite; vii) comparing the data using R characteristic profile o

Abstract: A medical adhesive composition comprising, based upon the total weight of the composition, from about 50 wt. % to about 99.9 wt. % of one or more ?-cyanoacrylate monomers and from about 0.1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of one or more non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Suitable NSAIDs include ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The resulting compositions provide enhances fibroblast proliferation and reduced cytotoxicity compared to compositions that do not contain NSAID.

Abstract: A method for producing a cyanoacrylate monomer, comprising the steps of (a) reacting cyanoacetate and formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde in the presence of a base or amine base catalyst to form an ?-cyanoacrylate prepolymer or oligomer mixture; (b) subjecting the ?-cyanoacrylate prepolymer or oligomer mixture to a substrate having free acid, acid derivative, or free aldehyde or ketone groups to remove the catalyst and to obtain a purified ?-cyanoacrylate prepolymer or oligomer; and (c) subjecting the purified ?-cyanoacrylate prepolymer or oligomer to depolymerization to obtain an ?-cyanoacrylate monomer.

Abstract: An electronic device (100) includes a processor (808) for processing a message (110), and a display (114) electrically coupled to the processor for displaying an image including the message. The display is constructed and arranged such that the image is viewable from first and second sides (116, 118) of the display, the first and second sides facing opposite one another.

Abstract: A high temperature ceramic filter is produced from a composition containing efractory cement, aggregate, pore forming additives, and sintering agents. The pore forming additives are synthetic or organic powders or fibers which sublimate, melt, or otherwise disintegrate to produce in situ pores in the cement during the refractory treatment of a cast filter. The filters produced are permeable to high temperature gases commonly found in a coal furnace and can be used to collect particulate matter present in those gases.
