Abstract: Aspects relate to topical formulations of a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist or a salt or derivative in combination with DMSO and a polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether. The topical formulations may include pirenzepine as the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. In addition, the polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether may be a polyethylene glycol alkyl ether.

Abstract: The invention relates to naphthalene derivatives as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of such compounds. The compounds of the invention are glycine B antagonists and are therefore useful for the control and prevention of various disorders, including neurological disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions comprising: a pharmaceutically acceptable oxidizing agent; a pharmaceutically acceptable base; and a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent or mixture of solvents. Also disclosed are methods of treating urushiol-induced contact dermatitis in a patient, the method comprising: identifying a patient in need thereof; and administering to the patient a composition as described herein. Further disclosed herein are devices for the treatment of urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, the device comprising: an absorbent material, contained therein a composition as described herein; and means for attaching the device to the skin of a patient in need thereof.

Abstract: A calendar apparatus includes a housing having opposed side rails for holding a calendar therebetween. The calendar apparatus includes a processor and a memory device in data communication with the processor. The apparatus includes a user input device, a microphone, and an audio output positioned in the housing and in data communication with the processor. The processor includes programming for inputting event data using the input device, inputting message data using the microphone, actuating the audio output device to provide alarm or to display message data after occurrence of an event. The calendar apparatus may include a picture holder, a clock, and a calculator.

Abstract: A powdered water color cosmetic composition comprising a water phase comprised of water droplets, and a particulate phase comprised of non-wetting particulates operable to surround and sequester the individual water droplets from each other in the composition, and a stabilizing effective amount of at least one water insoluble super absorbent polymer.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions containing at least one homopolymer or random copolymer obtained from the polymerization of nonpolar hydrocarbon diene monomers.

Abstract: Halogen-containing synthetic resins can be stabilized with calcium and/or zinc soaps. Co-stabilizers are necessary for enhancing their stabilizing effect. The invention relates to special cationic layered hydrotalcite compounds having a specific BET surface of at least 50 m.sup.2 /g which are modified with polyols, epoxidized esters, full and partial esters of polyols and/or phosphites, to a process for their production and to their use as co-stabilizers for halogen-containing synthetic resins stabilized with calcium and/or zinc salts.
