Abstract: This invention is concerned with a non-stinging wound dressing. This wound dressing is characterized by plastics dissolved in a solvent system of stinging and non-stinging solvent, the combination of which provides a non-stinging solvent system with sufficient polarity to dissolve the plastic. This wound dressing is preferrably applied to wounds as an aerosol spray dressing containing bacteriostatic agents.
Abstract: The administration to mammals of prostaglandin PGA.sub.2, derivatives of PGA.sub.2, methyl ester of .omega.-homo PGE.sub.1 and compounds structurally related to prostaglandins, such as alkyl 11,15-dihydroxy-15-alkyl-9-oxoprost-13-ynates and 11-methyl-15-hydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5-cis-13-trans-dienoic acid results in a state of tranquilization as opposed to general depression.
