Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods, systems, kits and compositions for treating, preventing and diagnosing viral infections, specifically SARS-CoV-2 infections, with an anti-androgen and anti-thyroid medication, a thyroid receptor antagonist, a TGF-? inhibitor or a combination thereof. The present disclosure also describes methods and compositions for the treatment of viral respiratory diseases, specifically SARS-CoV-2 infections, including anti-androgens, anti-thyroid medications, thyroid receptor antagonists, TGF-? inhibitors, RXR inhibitors, furin inhibitors or other agents to disrupt the androgen signaling.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for administering electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which may include filtering EMR from part of the EMR spectrum while allowing passage of EMR at a desired wavelength range. Uses may include the treatment of such conditions as psoriasis, vitiligo, pruritus, acne, vitamin-D deficiency and atopic dermatitis. Topical creams, sprays, or other compositions may be used, with or without dosimeters, or in conjunction with an application, which calculates local UV exposure and other factors relating to dosage.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are cosmetically pleasing topic al formulations of minoxidil and methods of inducing hair growth. The minoxidil is at a concentration of 2%-20% by weight in the formulations. In one embodiment, the aerosol formulation comprises a sebum absorber such as a modified starch.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for administering electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which may include filtering EMR from part of the EMR spectrum while allowing passage of EMR at a desired wavelength. A fluorescent component may be included, which absorbs EMR at one wavelength and emits EMR at the desired wavelength. Uses may include the treatment of acne. Pruritus may also be treated by allowing the passage to the skin of a particular UV wavelength from sunlight, which has an immunosuppressive effect, while protecting the skin from other harmful UV radiation.

Abstract: Apparatus for determining if an underground storage tank is leaking provides simple determination by a layman. A housing containing a detection tube is lowered into a well in the vicinity of the tank, and a vacuum pump pulls air through the detection tube. The sampled air will disclose the presence, or not, of vapor from the suspected tank. The method includes the use of discrete sample of air, and the quantity of air is determined by use of a detection tube sensitive to carbon dioxide. An indication of a quantity of carbon dioxide can be related to a volume of air through known relationships. Preferably, the housing containing the detection tube is carried by a float so the intake is just above the surface of any water in the well.
