Abstract: Snails and slugs are controlled by a method in which the plants to be protected from molluscs, or the environment of the said plants, are or is treated with 2-tert-butyl-4-chloro-5-(4-tert-butylbenzylthio)-3(2H)-pyridazinone I ##STR1## Snail and slug baits or seed dressings contain the active ingredient I.

Abstract: This invention relates to new therapeutic compositions which are useful in photodiagnosis and phototherapy, especially in the detection and treatment of tumors and cancerous tissues in the human or animal body. The compounds of the present new therapeutic composition are mono-, di or polyamides of an amino monocarboxylic acid and a tetrapyrrole containing at least one carboxyl group of the structure ##STR1## wherein Z is the aminomonocarboxylic acid residue less the amino group, X is the tetrapyrrole residue less the carboxy group, and "n" is an integer from 1 to 4 inclusive.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving post-ischemic myocardial function such as contractile dysfunction or reperfusion injury by administering a thromboxane receptor antagonist which is a 7-oxabicycloheptane substituted diamide prostaglandin analog in combination with a thrombolytic agent before, during or immediately after an ischemic attack.

Abstract: Closed, unilamellar vesicles are spontaneously formed by adding a cholesteryl compound substituted with a hydroxyl terminated polyethylene oxide containing 1 to 4 ethylene oxide groups to a polar liquid. Multilamellar vesicles are formed by sonicating a cholesteryl compound containing polyethylene oxide or polyamine side-chains. The vesicles can be utilized to dispense polar, non-polar or ampholphilic compounds.
