Abstract: The use of selective imidazoline receptor agonists, such as moxonidine, rilmenidine, LNP-509, S-23515, PMS-812, PMS-847 and BU-98008, and their physiologically compatible acid addition salts in pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment and/or inhibition of functional disorders and/or diseases in larger mammals or humans which require inhibition or reduction of the activity of proteins which regulate the intracellular pH value and which belong to the superfamily of bicarbonate transporters, in particular the treatment or inhibition of clinical conditions of bones which are caused by an undesirable amount of bone resorption, such as osteoporosis; of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric ulcers; and of neuronal and/or neuropsychiatric diseases associated with a pathologically altered (especially increased) neuronal activity, such as depression, Alzheimer's disease, eating disorders and schizophrenia.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting spontaneous or habitual miscarriage by administering to a female patient in need thereof an effective amount of at least one immunologically active non-endogenous gestagen compound.

Abstract: A method of treating and/or inhibiting immunological disease states which are associated with a Th1 dominated reaction pattern of the pathological immune response by administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of at least one non-endogenous gestagen compound.

Abstract: A method of treating or inhibiting an immunological disease state which is associated with a Th2 dominated reaction pattern of the pathological immune response by administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of an antagonist for the human progesterone receptor.

Abstract: The use of C1-inactivator for the production of a pharmaceutical for the prophylaxis and treatment of capillary leak syndrome (generalized extravasation) and circulator shock (refractory hypotension) in severe burns or scalds, in polytrauma, in operations under conditions of extracorporeal circulation, in the use of cytokines, endogenous mediators, and mediator hybrids and growth factors produced by genetic engineering, or capillary leak syndrome and veno-occlusive disease of the liver in therapeutically or prophylactically indicated bone marrow transplantation is described.
