  • Patent number: 11391740
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials involved in identifying and/or treating mammals having a treatment-resistant prostate cancer (e.g., an enzalutamide-resistant, castration-resistant prostate cancer). For example, methods and materials for identifying a mammal (e.g., a human) having treatment-resistant prostate cancer (e.g., an enzalutamide-resistant, castration-resistant prostate cancer) as having an elevated level of one or more polypeptides (e.g., one or more of a CXXC5, a CXXC4, a TET2, an ID1, an ID3, and/or a PFN2 polypeptide) in treatment-resistant prostate tissue are provided. Methods and materials for administering one or more targeted therapies with or without one or more chemotherapeutic agents to a mammal having treatment-resistant prostate cancer identified as having an elevated level of one or more polypeptides (e.g., one or more of a CXXC5, a CXXC4, a TET2, an ID1, an ID3, and/or a PFN2 polypeptide) in treatment-resistant prostate tissue also are provided.

  • Patent number: 11382799
    Abstract: A tampon and therapeutic delivery device is disclosed and includes a generally cylindrical applicator tube defining a cartridge within which a tampon is slidably received for ejection through one end of the cartridge. A generally hollow cylindrical plunger member is slidably received within an opposite end of the cartridge for ejecting the tampon therefrom. A cannabinoid-infused disintegrable carrier material is partially embedded in and movably held by the tampon for intravaginal delivery when ejected from the cartridge, whereupon the cannabinoid agent is released into the vagina and absorbed through the vaginal mucosa to provide relief of dysmenorrhea. The cartridge has a plurality of slots to permit pre-lubrication of the tampon, if desired, prior to insertion into the vaginal cavity. The system delivers a higher concentration to the muscle of the uterus, the primary site for the dyskinetic muscle contraction, which is the pathophysiologic cause of dysmenorrhea.

  • Patent number: 11331319
    Abstract: Given its various activities in the brain, nitric oxide (NO) has been associated with various neuropsychiatric diseases and/or neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. In fact, evidence has been accumulating to show that abnormalities in NO levels are associated with schizophrenia. Among a number of NO's neural mechanisms associated with schizophrenia, its role as a second messenger of NMDA receptor activation, which interacts with both dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways, has been of particular focus. It demonstrated herein that a combined administration of nitric oxide synthase substrates and co-factors display antineuropsychiatric activity and cognitive benefit by re-establishing homeostatic nitric oxide production.
