Abstract: An aerosolizable formulation comprised of a drug, a carrier and pH affecting component is disclosed. The Drug is dissolved in the formulation at a concentration above which it remains in solution at neutral pH. This increases the concentration of the drug in solution making it possible to administer larger amounts of drug with the same or a smaller volume of formulation. When the formulation is aerosolized to small particles and inhaled into human lungs in small volumes (e.g. 0.05 to 0.5 mL) the fluids in the lungs neutralize the formulation causing the drug to participate out of solution. This results in the drug being delivered at a controlled rate below the rate at which drug is administered from a formulation initially at a neutral pH.

Abstract: A method and device for treating cholesterol disorders includes administering at least one treatment regime including two or more rounds of plasmapheresis to a patient having abnormal total cholesterol, abnormal LDL levels and/or abnormal HDL levels prior to treatment. Treatment according to the method results in decreased LDL levels in patients having abnormal LDL levels and increased HDL levels in patients having abnormal HDL levels. Each subsequent round of plasmapheresis is conducted weekly, but no more than twice per week.

Abstract: An RFID tag is for arrangement on a bottle for blood-derived products. The bottle includes a main body, the upper end of which includes a neck. The bottle is hermetically sealed by a cap arranged in the upper portion of the neck. The upper portion of the cap includes at least two through-pipes and at least two stiffening ribs that are each connected to the pipes by one of the respective ends thereof. The RFID tag has at least two openings shaped to fit each of the through-pipes, respectively, of the cap such that said RFID tag is positioned on the upper surface of the cap and thus overcomes the obstacle of the through-pipes and the respective stiffening ribs.
