Abstract: A multi-stage drug administration device which, after connection to a standard IV port in the arm of a patient, administers the entire batch of drugs required by a patient automatically. The inventive device operates without any required stages of flushing, requiring no further supervision by a medical operative, thereby saving manpower and enabling full mobility of the patient while the drugs are being administered.

Abstract: A system for reducing human body weight to a permanent optimal weight level comprises a portable kit that includes a plurality of foods with a known total carbohydrate content altanged in an asymmetric spatial arrangement, and spoiling prevention means for keeping the foods from spoiling. The asymmetric arrangement preferably includes a plurality of containers holding the foods and organized such that similar carbohydrate content foods are stored by groups, from a group of largest number of containers with carbohydrate free foods to preferably a single container with a carbohydrate rich food. Optionally, the groups are marked by different- colors to provide additional identification of the carbohydrate content.

Abstract: A safety dispensing system for dispensing the fluid contents of a container includes a fastener attached to the container for fastening a seal to an opening formed in the container, a closure attached to the container for closing the opening formed in the container, wherein said closure is substantially vertically displaceable above the container, said closure including, a sealable cap attached to said closure for readily accessing the opening formed in the container, and a tubular piercer attached to said closure such that rotational displacement of said closure results in a complimentary displacement of said tubular piercer and piercing of said seal, thereby facilitating flow of the material contained in the container.

Abstract: A constant-pressure apparatus for the administration of fluids intravenously includes a container for a fluid to be administered, and a liquefied-gas source having a constant gas pressure and arranged in association with the container so as to apply the constant pressure of the liquefied-gas cartridge to the fluid therein, thus forcing the fluid to exit through an outlet of the container at a constant rate.
