Abstract: The present invention provides formulations and methods for formulation administration that support an individual's body during vaccination and adaptive immune response. The individuals who can benefit from these formulations and methods for formulation administration are infants, children and adults. The formulations comprise ingredients that may be administered prior to, concurrent with or subsequent to the vaccination. The formulations and methods for formulation administration of the present invention preferably act by selectively targeting enzymatic reactions, epigenetic expression, and an individual's various metabolic pathways in support of immune system homeostasis, maintaining balance between oxidative stress and methylation, fostering balance between Th1 and Th2 responses, or a combination thereof, during vaccination and adaptive immune responses to improve vaccine response and reduce vaccine side effects.
Abstract: A topical composition comprising about 5 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of metronidazole or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof in a non-aqueous vehicle. The composition may be used in the treatment of skin damage due to inflammatory skin conditions; thermal, chemical or electrical burns; infections or radiation treatment. One advantage of the composition is that topical administration of metronidazole results in a primarily local effect, and thus, side effects observed from systemic administration are avoided.
Abstract: Compositions comprising hydrocodone benzoic acid enol ester to form novel prodrugs including hydrocodone benzoic acid enol ester salts, and various polymorphs. Also provided are processes for the preparation of hydrocodone benzoic acid enol ester salts, and various polymorphs.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating acute suicidality by administration of buprenorphine are disclosed herein. An exemplary method is effected by administering to a subject determined as having acute suicidality a first therapeutically effective amount of buprenorphine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, whereby the administration is ceased once the subject is no longer determined as having acute suicidality. The first therapeutically effective amount is less than 0.2 mg per day. A higher therapeutically effective amount may optionally be administered if the subject is determined as not fully responsive to the first therapeutically effective amount. Unit dosage forms of buprenorphine, comprising less than 0.2 mg (e.g., 0.1 mg) buprenorphine are also disclosed.
