Abstract: Chemically and thermodynamically amplifying the prior art concept of the heat-producing exothermically-reactive selective polyol and selectable isocyanate chemicals for the conventional production of polyurethane foam-cushioning having a CVR-value fraught with comfort deficiency: The novel amplification herein co-introduces polymerizable latex into the exothermically co-reactable polyol and isocyanate mixture, and which such ancillarily produced exothermic-heat polymerizes the co-introduced latex. The result is economically yielded “latex-enhanced polyurethane foam-cushioning” having a CVR-value not experienced with conventional polyurethane foam-cushioning.

Abstract: A method for treating mammals suffering from skeletal muscle wasting and/or intracellular protein degradation of skeletal muscle systems by administering to the mammal an amount of tetracycline which results in a significant reduction of the muscle wasting and protein degradation is disclosed. In addition, there is also disclosed a method of increasing the protein content of skeletal muscle systems of mammals by administration of tetracyclines. The tetracyclines useful in the above methods are both antimicrobial and non-antimicrobial. In a preferred embodiment, the method of treatment utilizes a non-antimicrobial tetracycline such as dedimethylaminotetracycline (CMT).
