Abstract: A method of manufacturing a concrete product, includes: providing a composition including a binder, an aggregate, and water; mixing the binder, the aggregate, and the water to produce a concrete mixture; imparting a form to the concrete mixture to provide a formed intermediate having a first water-to-binder ratio; and concurrently conditioning and curing the formed intermediate by conditioning the formed intermediate while curing the formed intermediate, wherein the formed intermediate is concurrently cured and conditioned to obtain final water-to-binder ratio less than the first water-to-binder ratio.

Abstract: This invention provides articles of manufacture and bandages comprising compartments and layers comprising oxygen and other therapeutic gas storage forms and perfluorocarbons. This invention also provides for methods of delivering oxygen and other therapeutic gases to a tissue in a subject comprising a administering to the tissue a composition comprising a perfluorocarbon and a oxygen or therapeutic gas storage form, so as to thereby deliver oxygen or the therapeutic gas to the tissue.

Abstract: A perfluoro(n-butylcyclohexane) composition is disclosed with numerous uses including topical and cosmetic applications, e.g., for application to the periocular skin or for the topical treatment of pruritus.
