Abstract: A drug delivery formulation for treating a mental illness or a central nervous system disorder is disclosed. The drug delivery formulation includes a microcapsule containing a biodegradable polymer and a drug and a crosslinked hydrogel and a method for preparing the same. The drug delivery formulation can slowly release a drug at a constant rate without a burst of drug release in the early stage of drug administration to maintain a constant blood drug level over a long period of time and thus enjoys the advantage of preventing excessive initial release of drug, thereby obtaining a desirable sustained release profile by single administration without necessity for multiple administrations divided at regular time intervals.

Abstract: A particle is provided that includes 5 wt % to 90 wt % of agricultural biomass, combustion residues, biosolids, or a combination thereof. A binder intermixed with the agricultural biomass, combustion residues, biosolids, or a combination thereof retains the mixture in the form of a particle. The resultant particle creates a use for existing waste streams while also improving soil quality. A process of stabilizing agricultural biomass, combustion residues, biosolids, or a combination thereof particles is also provided that includes combining agricultural biomass, combustion residues, biosolids, or a combination thereof with mineral and/or synthetic chemical fragments having a bulk density of greater than about 40 pounds per cubic foot and a sizing of about 100% passing through a 30 mesh screen and about 50% or more passing through a 200 mesh screen. By adding binder, a particle is formed that is deodorized and/or stabilized.

Abstract: The invention relates to the fields of microbiology and health care, in particular to means and methods for minimizing the spread of hospital-acquired (HA) infections e.g. between patients and healthcare workers. Provided is an antimicrobial composition comprising an antimicrobial agent, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier material and a polymer, the polymer being an N-vinyl lactam copolymer, and the composition being capable of forming a slow release antimicrobial film when applied to a skin surface.

Abstract: A topical composition can be used to treat or inhibit onset of fibrillar collagenous growths, including but not limited to keloids. The composition includes elemental iodine carried in a non-migratory vehicle. Application of the composition can result in a significant reduction in the size of such a growth or, if applied to an area of skin susceptible to such a growth, inhibit the onset thereof.

Abstract: Described herein is crystalline sodium (E)-2-(4-((3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(4-(3-morpholinoprop-1-yn-1-yl)phenyl)allyl)oxy)-2-methylphenoxy)acetate, uses of such crystalline material in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases or conditions that would benefit by administration with a PPAR? agonist compound.

Abstract: Provided is a culture product having a mild rose aroma and suitable for imparting the rose aroma to a cosmetic product, a food or a drink, a pharmaceutical product, and the like. A culture product, which is obtained by fermenting a lactic acid bacterium culture product in a medium containing a milk component with Kluyveromyces marxianus, and comprises isoamyl alcohol in an amount of 0.3 to 5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of phenylethyl acetate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preventing or treating keloids using a liquid plasma. A liquid plasma according to the present invention is remarkably effective in inhibiting the generation and proliferation of keloids, thus being expected to be greatly utilized for the prevention and treatment of keloids.

Abstract: A storage-stable solid composition comprising a tooth whitening effective amount of a particulated inorganic salt of peroxymonosulfate, and a particulated drying agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a yarrow fresh plant press juice concentrate and a gentle method for its manufacture. The yarrow fresh plant press juice concentrate is used in cosmetic compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, food compositions or food supplements. This invention also relates to new aspects of the use of yarrow. The invention provides the use of yarrow to stimulate the expression of heat shock proteins and/or antimicrobial peptides in skin cells. It also describes the use of yarrow to increase the thermal tolerance of the skin.

Abstract: Compositions and methods to avoid the gag reflex to enable swallowing of pills, by applying an edible coating to the pill that generates bubbles, so that the bubbles prevent direct contact of the pill with the back of the mouth, thereby avoiding the gag reflex. Preferably the coating generates bubbles from an acid-base reaction, from compressed bubbles entrapped in hard candy, or from any other manner for creating fizzing, effervescent or popping confectionary or other food products. Optionally the coating can have a strong taste, such as by being sour, to distract away from the gag reflex. Optionally, a time release envelope is provided to delay bubbling or to block atmospheric humidity.
