Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-invasive medical therapy and a composition for avoiding organ transplantation, or controlling biological rejection of transplanted organs, or treating organs under consideration for replacement by transplant, and otherwise treating aged, diseased and/or abnormal tissues and/or organs. More specifically, the non-invasive medical therapy involves administering to a patient an elemental nutritional feeding comprising a free amino acid profile simulating and/or replicating a targeted diseased or transplanted tissue and/or organ. The subject invention provides methods of inactivating reactive component epitopes of moieties pathogenic substances or producing immunogenic compositions containing pathogenic substances comprising contacting pathogenic substances, or compositions containing pathogenic substances, with super critical carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen. Similar benefits are produced using high HLB surfactants also reducing carcinogenic factors.

Abstract: A device for disposing unused pharmaceuticals including a container having sealing means, a superabsorbent polymer arranged in the container in a loose orientation, a deterrent compound, and optionally a dye. The device is adapted so that after pharmaceuticals and a fluid substance are added to the container, and the container is sealed, the container can be agitated (e.g., shaken) to enable the superabsorbent polymer to absorb the fluid and congeal in order to nearly instantaneously form a gel structure, which completely or nearly completely envelops the pharmaceuticals in the container. The deterrent compound can break down and/or denature the pharmaceuticals enveloped in the gel structure. The container may then be disposed of in a conventional household garbage container. The dye provides a visual warning that the pharmaceuticals should not be consumed and the repellant compound provides an unpleasant flavor and/or smell which deters ingestion of the pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical drug disposal kit includes a container for receiving pharmaceutical drugs. Water is added to the container to create an aqueous solution with the pharmaceutical drugs, and a constituent in the container makes the solution a basic aqueous solution. A visual and/or taste deterrent is disposed in the container, and an adsorbent or absorbent is also disposed in the container to provide at least partial solidification of the solution. A binding agent is also disposed in the container to bind the ingredients of the pharmaceutical drug, the deterrent, and the adsorbent/absorbent, thereby changing the physical state of the pharmaceutical drugs into a substance that is undesirable to consume, and which enables safe disposal of the pharmaceutical drugs.

Electrical insulation fluids that comprise the triglyceride composition and a combination of additives are disclosed. Electrical apparatuses comprising the electrical insulation fluids and the use of electrical insulation fluids to provide insulation in electrical apparatuses are disclosed. A process for preparing the high oleic acid triglyceride composition is disclosed.

Abstract: Application of an alkaline earth metal salt selected from calcium and strontium salts can steadily denature the allergens those exist in the environment without any coloring trouble on the treated material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a denaturant for ethanol, to ethanol comprising this denaturant and to cosmetic products comprising this denatured ethanol.

Abstract: A non-ozone depleting malodorous composition of matter that contains a liquid mercaptan mixed with a nonflammable and non-ozone depleting solvent, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, and with an inert gas such as nitrogen under pressure in a container for introduction into a pressurized breathing system, such as in mines, thereby forming a warning system to warn a person of danger when the malodorous composition of matter is released from the container.

Abstract: An aqueous emulsion system containing vesicular structures which provides a delivery system for a variety of active ingredients. The vesicular structures of the emulsion provide a reservoiring or slow-release effect for the active ingredient or for a propellant, enabling an aerosol delivery system to be effective with a very low VOC content.

Abstract: Protective coatings, such as paints and liquid formulations therefor, containing a masked chromogen which signals contact with a body fluid when the protective coating is masticated or ingested are disclosed. The chromogen is capable of producing a contrasting color when masticated and/or ingested, thereby signaling that the individual who masticated and/or ingested the chromogen may have ingested an undesirable or hazardous substance, e.g., a lead-based paint, that has been covered by the protective coating. The chromogen is substantially indiscernible in the paint and converts by reaction with an activator substance, e.g., by reaction with saliva, gastric juices, or the like, to a colored form which then stains the body fluids and/or the body tissues, and which may also stain the original source of the undesirable substance.

Abstract: A coating composition for application to surfaces previously coated with lead paint or other poisonous substances comprising a paint containing a bitter tasting component such as denatonium benzoate. This coating composition has a repulsive taste and an appearance similar to ordinary paints so that it will impart an unpleasant taste experience to a child who mouths surfaces or chips coated with it and will condition the child to avoid mouthing surfaces or chips of similar appearance.
