Abstract: This invention relates to a new use of compounds that are angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor agonists, more particularly agonists of the Ang II type 2 receptor (the AT2 receptor), and especially agonists that bind selectively to the AT2 receptor, for therapeutic treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, in particular idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to use of an inhibitor of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, such as ramipril or ramiprilat, in the prevention of stroke, diabetes and/or congestive heart failure (CHF).

Abstract: There is provided a combination product comprising: (A) BH4, a functional derivative or biosynthetic precursor thereof, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable derivative of BH4 or its derivative or precursor; and (B) an inhibitor of the biosynthesis and/or vasopressor function of AII, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable derivative thereof, wherein each of components (A) and (B) is formulated in admixture with a pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier, as well as the use of such a combination product in the treatment of hypertension and/or conditions characterised by vascular dysfunction and/or lesions.

Abstract: System and method for providing a communication link between a central station (11) and a remote mobile or stationary object (13) including transmitting and receiving communication means (13) having transmitting and receiving communication means (14, 15) for speech and data transmission. The communication link includes a speech transmission link between the central station (11) and the remote object (13). The communication link also includes a data transmission link between the remote object and the central station that is rerouted via a centralized communication and database server (10) for handling operator and/or object related information. The method includes establishing a speech connection between the central station (11) and the remote object (13), and simultaneously establishing data connections between the remote object (13) and the communication and database server (10) as well as between the central station and the communication and database server.
