Abstract: The invention relates to floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) that provide solutions to the particular problems often encountered with floating drug delivery systems described in the art. On such generally recognized problem is the vulnerability of the systems, especially damage to the gas-filled compartment making it accessible to water so as to impair its buoyancy, ultimately resulting in insufficient gastric residence time. The invention, in an aspect, provides a self-repairing FDDS that maintains its floating capacity after damaging. The floating drug delivery systems of the invention, furthermore, allow for incorporation of high loads of active ingredients. The floating drug delivery systems can be designed in such a way that release of active ingredient from the system occurs entirely independent from the pH of the fluid surrounding the system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prophylaxis or treatment of deficiencies in essential amino acid absorption and metabolism and/or of a pathology or symptom associated there with. In particular the invention concerns the treatment and/or prevention of ADHD, ADD and autism spectrum disorders. The present inventors have developed a method for prophylaxis or treatment of such symptoms and/or pathologies associated with a deficiency in essential amino acid absorption and/or metabolism, which method, stated generally, relies on the administration of nicotinamide, typically in a long-acting formulation so as to overcome the deficiencies of existing formulations, which have proven unsuitable for effective treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-component curable polymer system comprising a first component including a water-curable silane-modified polymer and a second component comprising water as a curing agent wherein said second component is in the form of a paste or gel.

Abstract: An assembly of a package that includes a flexible sheet-like foil material containing a viscous material, with apparatus for metered emptying of the package. The apparatus includes a frame, a guide, and a substantially flat two-part supporting surface. A metering control is movable along the supporting surface. The guide holds the metering control in a substantially fixed orientation relative to the supporting surface. The metering control empties the package by nipwise pressing the package flat onto the supporting surface. The frame includes a stationary part and a movable part, which parts form a continuous, uninterrupted supporting surface in a first position and which parts close off an open package by squeezing it shut in a second position.

Abstract: An assembly provided with a package and an apparatus for the metered emptying of the package, which package contains viscous material and is at least partly manufactured from flexible sheet-like foil material. The apparatus comprises a frame with guide means and a substantially flat two-part supporting surface, as well as metering control means which, guided by the guiding means, can be moved, in a position substantially not changing as regards their orientation relative to the supporting surface, over and along the supporting surface. Emptying takes place by nipwise pressing the package flat onto the supporting surface with the metering control means.
