Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating a subject having a disease or disorder by administering a monoamine oxidase inhibitor in combination with a serotonin receptor agonist, which in some embodiments is a deuterated serotonin receptor agonist. In some aspects, the disclosure further relates to pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and a serotonin receptor agonist. In some embodiments, the monoamine oxidase inhibitor is a MAO-A-selective inhibitor such as CX157, and the serotonin receptor agonist is a serotonin 2A receptor agonist such as N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), or deuterated DMT.

Abstract: Therapeutic tea remedy mixtures in the form of beverages and ointments. Methods for making the tea remedy mixtures are described along with the benefits it provides to combat various medical ailments that frequently impair the human body.

Abstract: Methods of bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated media using Pseudomonas sp. which can efficiently reduce hydrocarbon contamination in soil, sediment or water in a short period of time are provided.

Abstract: A patch device for repairing holes in drywall or the like having at least one pair of straight-sided edges, comprising, a body portion made of a flexible material having at least one pair of generally parallel spaced-straight sides and a series of teeth-like projections extending from opposing sides of the body portion engagable in the pair of edges of the opening in the drywall. The body portion is hinged to permit flexing the body portion to facilitate installation of the patch device in the opening in the drywall.

Abstract: There is provided a bio-remediation system and a method associated therewith for remediating a spilled hydrocarbon-based fluid from soil effectively and without causing migration of the fluid to previously uncontaminated areas. The bio-remediation system removes hydrocarbon-based fluid from a subterranean location using microbes which are immersed in a nutrient-rich medium. The microbes biologically remediate the hydrocarbon-based fluid by consuming the hydrocarbon-based fluid. The bio-remediation system ensures that the microbes and the nutrient-rich medium do not extend below the water table thus producing further contamination by monitoring moisture levels and levels of respiratory gases in the soil. When the microbes descend too deep, an air pump is actuated to dry a buffer zone between the water table and the spilled hydrocarbon-based fluid, thus halting progression of the microbes in the nutrient-rich medium.

Abstract: A transportable apparatus that can be utilized for on-site removal of contaminating hydrocarbons from gravel and soils. The apparatus functions by depositing the gravel and soils as a layer onto a specially constructed belt or screw conveyor which operates so that gravel and soils are not only conveyed through an exposure to multiple overhead steam nozzles or jets, but also agitated to separate the individual particles so that each particle's entire surface is exposed to superheated steam. The superheated steam volatizes the lighter hydrocarbons and thins the heavier hydrocarbons. The volatilized hydrocarbons are evacuated from the conveyor and condensed to liquid form. The thinned heavier hydrocarbons are discharged with the gravel and soils into a sump, where the hydrocarbons are captured. The clean gravel and soils are removed from the apparatus by a loader.

Abstract: A system for recovering oil from an oil spill site. A vessel transports buoyant, oil absorbent material to the spill site. The absorbent material is dispersed below the water surface and advances upward toward the water surface, thereby absorbing oil and water. The dispersed absorbent material is contained and transferred back to the vessel. Oil and water are removed from the absorbent material on the vessel, and the absorbent material may be reused.
