Abstract: This invention provides cutter/lighter combination devices wherein the cutter is equipped with a blade attached to a holder that moves on a track. The end of the blade holder distal from the blade edge protrudes from a notch in the side of the case. When the protruding portion of the blade carrier is pushed forward in the direction of the case, the blade moves forward across the aperture to cut any object which has been inserted into the aperture. The blade edge may be any shape, so long as the cutting edge is not present in the aperture in the absence of pressure on the blade carrier to force the blade edge to move the blade across the aperture.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of protection from and treatment of neurological damage in mammals by administration of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in combination with fructose 1,6-diphosphate (FDP). The effects of administration of the drugs together, either as two separate compositions or in combination, results in synergistic action that greatly improves protection from morbidity in animals (including humans) who have suffered injury to the brain.

Abstract: Compositions used to treat inflammatory diseases of the mouth contain anti-inflammatory steroids in combination with antifungal drugs in an aqueous medium as a mouthwash. Swishing for three to five minutes, then expectorating the mouthwashes results in maintenance of contact of the active agents with the oral cavity surfaces for a longer time than would application of gels containing those agents. The mode of application is simple and is not repugnant to the patient as is the application of creams, gels, or ointments.
