Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a probe for forming a lesion in a target tissue. The probe comprises an elongate member with a distal tip and a proximal end. The elongate member defines a lumen therebetween which circulates cooling fluid. The probe further includes at least one active portion configured to deliver energy to the target tissue and at least one orifice. A portion of the cooling fluid is ejected from the at least one orifice to cool the target tissue and the remainder is internally circulated through the lumen of the probe.

Abstract: Provided are lipidic particles comprising phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and cholesterol. Also provided are compositions comprising the lipidic particles and having associated therewith therapeutic agents such as peptides, polypeptides or proteins. In these compositions, the therapeutic agents have reduced immunogenicity and/or longer circulating time. These compositions can be used for therapeutic administration of the peptides, polypeptides and/or proteins.

Abstract: Provided is a method for treatment of blood coagulation disorders. The method comprises administering to an individual compositions comprising lipidic particles comprising phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and cholesterol. One or more peptides, polypeptides or proteins involved in the blood coagulation cascade are associated with the lipidic particles.
