Abstract: A display apparatus for a vehicle including a vent portion (1) comprising a through-opening defining an air intake mouth, and attachment means adapted to render the vent portion attachable therewith to a surface of the vehicle in a position intimately proximate thereto to permit the air-intake mouth to intake vehicle-displaced airflow at the aforesaid surface of the vehicle. A flexible sleeve portion (35) defines an air duct extending from the through-opening to an air outlet opening of the sleeve portion being inflatable by action of a flow of air therethrough from the through-opening to display an outer surface of the inflated sleeve portion.

Abstract: The compound spongosine (2-methoxyadenosine), of the class of adenosines, is useful as an analgesic, particularly in a method of preventing, treating, or ameliorating pain which comprises administering spongosine (2-methoxyadenosine) to a subject in need of such prevention, treatment, or amelioration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of improving oral drug absorption of adenosine analogues by the use of 2?,3?-methylidene acetal adenosine pro-drugs and to the use of these pro-drugs as medicaments. The invention further relates to compounds that are pro-drugs of adenosine receptor agonists, and to their use as therapeutic compounds, in particular as analgesic or anti-inflammatory compounds, or as disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and to methods of preventing, treating or ameliorating pain or inflammation using these compounds.
