Abstract: Perfluorocarbon emulsion formulations are oxygenated prior to use by means of a portable oxygenation system. The blood substitute is in a closed container or bag. An oxygen-containing gas is introduced into the bag from a separate container. The bag is continuously agitated for a sufficient time to increase the pO.sub.2 of the perfluorocarbon emulsion formulations to a desired pressure, e.g., to at least 600 mmHg. In one embodiment, the system used for oxygenation of the perfluorocarbon emulsion formulations comprises a small tank for gas having an inlet port and an outlet port fitted with shut-off valves. The outlet port is adapted to be connected to a filter which, in turn, is adapted to be connected to the inlet port of a three-way valve. The primary outlet of the three-way valve is adapted to mount a hypodermic needle which is adapted to be pushed through a rubber septum in a port of the bag to communicate with the interior of the bag.

Abstract: An opacifier composition for use in permanent waving compositions and neutralizer compositions associated therewith. The opacifier composition is an aqueous emulsion containing: (a) methyl ester of hydrogenated rosin acids, (b) an alkylene glycol such as octylene glycol, and (c) a mixture of nonionic surfactants, such as the polyoxyethylene ethers of fatty alcohols, for example lauryl alcohol. The use of the opacifier composition eliminates or minimizes hair breakage which occurs with other opacifier systems such as those employing latex emulsions.

Abstract: An antifungal vaginal suppository is disclosed comprising cis-2-(1H-imidazolylmethyl)-3-(2',6'-difluorobenzyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-5-fluo robenzo[b]thiophene in a suppository base containing biocompatible polymers, a surfactant and an absorbent in a vegetable oil phase.

Abstract: A molluscicide composition is provided which is highly effective and environmentally safe. The composition includes a carrier compound, an attractant, and a molluscicide agent. The attractant consists of metaldehyde and the molluscicide agent consists of atomized powdered elemental aluminum. Wheat, barley, oats, corn and mill-run bran are used as the carrier compounds. In a preferred form of the invention, a preservative, a dispersing agent and water are added to enhance the preparation and stability of the composition. The composition may be applied in meal, pellet, cake or slurry form. It is highly effective in killing terrestrial molluscs (slugs and snails) while avoiding the environmental and efficacy problems of other molluscicide compositions, including those using metaldehyde as the sole molluscicide agent.
