Abstract: Dosage forms comprising preparations of slightly water-soluble active substances in a polymer matrix of polyether copolymers, the polyether copolymers being obtained by free radical polymerization of a mixture of from 30 to 80% by weight of N-vinyllactam, from 10 to 50% by weight of vinyl acetate and from 10 to 50% by weight of a polyether, and of at least one slightly water-soluble polymer in which the slightly water-soluble active substance is present in amorphous form in the polymer matrix.

Abstract: The present invention relates to articles and methods of treating vascular conditions with a thixotropic, turbid, bioactive agent-containing gel material capable of being essentially removed from an implantation site upon re-establishment of fluid flow at the implantation site.

Abstract: 2:1 cocrystals of amino acids and Li+ salts crystallize from hot water to afford water stable cationic networks based upon tetrahedral lithium cations: bilayered square grids, a lithium zeolitic metal-organic material (LiZMOM) and several lithium diamondoid metal-organic materials (LiDMOMs). The compositions may be used as a pharmaceutical for the treatment of suicidality and other disorders that require lithium to penetrate the blood brain barrier and exert therapeutic effects in the CNS. Advantageously, the novel cocrystal forms described herein may be used to lower the oral dose required to achieve therapeutic concentrations of lithium in the brain, thus reducing the peripheral toxicity and potentially broadening the therapeutic index in comparison to conventional lithium forms.

Abstract: A method of treating a periodontal pocket, comprising a step of administering one or more biodegradable compounds in a suitable carrier into the periodontal pocket, wherein the compound induces partial or total filling of the periodontal pocket for a period of time. Preferably, the biodegradable compound is Poly-L-lactic acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to a biomaterial comprising an injectable bioresorbable polysaccharide composition wherein the polysaccharide may be succinochitosan glutamate. This invention also relates to a biomaterial comprising an injectable bioresorbable polysaccharide composition in which resorbable particles may be in suspension, the said particles comprising or consisting essentially of chitin and/or chitosan, which may be free of any additional formulation modifying agents, and a process for manufacturing the same. This invention also relates to a medical device including said biomaterial and to a method of repair or treatment including the filling of cavities in the human face or body.

Abstract: The invention relates to hair care compositions comprising an effective amount of a condensation polymer having at least one, optionally quaternized or protonated, dialkylamide end-group connected through the polymer backbone to a unit derived from an alkylamide, the connection comprising at least one ester linkage.

Abstract: A concentrated treatment composition includes a bird repelling composition, a glycol, and a fragrance-containing/odor control composition. The concentrated treatment composition provides a stable product that is miscible with water. Methods for applying to the treatment compositions are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing stable, high API content, solid pharmaceutical dosage forms by direct compression or dry granulation, characterized in that the pharmaceutical tablets rapidly disintegrate in water or other aqueous solutions to produce a clear or almost clear solution. Also provided is a pharmaceutical carglumic acid tablet, which has improved manufacturing, dissolution, and stability properties, and is less expensive to produce, compared to the equivalent commercial product.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions comprising at least one xanthine compound, preferably further comprising at least one agent which acts on capillary circulation and/or at least one natural moisturizing agent, which can be used to treat, or to reduce and/or minimize the appearance of, defects such as dark circles, bags and/or puffiness around eyes.

Abstract: To provide a bioimplant capable of controlling a rate of an antibacterial agent and an antibiotic to be eluted from the coating film. An evanescent coating film made of a calcium phosphate-based material having crystallinity of 90% or less is formed at a predetermined area of the bioimplant and an antibacterial agent or an antibiotic is contained in the coating film. If necessary, a metal oxide layer made of a metal oxide having an isoelectric point of less than 7 is formed on the bioimplant thereby suppressing adhesion of bacteria.
