Abstract: This invention is directed to oxoazaheterocycyl compounds which inhibit Factor Xa, to oxoazaheterocycyl compounds which inhibit both Factor Xa and Factor IIa, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, to intermediates useful for preparing these compounds, to a method of directly inhibiting Factor Xa and to a method of simultaneously directly inhibiting Factor Xa and Factor IIa.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for treating skin conditions that deliver high frequency energy across large tissue areas. The treatment apparatus comprises a treatment tip carrying a plurality of electrodes that are switched such that fewer than all of the electrodes are concurrently energized. The treatment tip includes a cooling mechanism that cools near-surface tissue regions disposed between the skin surface and the treated tissue by cooling the respective electrode that treats each of the regions. The cooling mechanism may include a heat transfer body intervening between the electrodes and a fluid delivery member configured to discharge coolant that impinges the heat transfer body. Alternatively, the cooling mechanism may include a fluid delivery member having individually valve-controlled passages configured to discharge a dedicated stream of coolant at each of the electrodes, a thermoelectric cooler, or a closed-loop fluid delivery member.

Abstract: This invention relates to compounds of general formula (I): in which Ar is a group selected from: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, Q1-Q3, R1-R9, Z1 and Z2 are as defined in the disclosure, and Y represents carboxy or an acid bioisostere. These compounds inhibit the production or physiological effects of TNF and inhibit cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I), their pharmaceutical use and methods for their preparation.

Abstract: This invention is directed to compounds of formula I: ##STR1## wherein the variables are as described herein. Compounds within the scope of the present invention possess useful properties, more particularly pharmaceutical properties. They are especially useful for inhibiting the production or physiological effects of TNF in the treatment of a patient suffering from a disease state associated with a physiologically detrimental excess of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Compounds within the scope of the present invention also inhibit cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, and are useful in treating a disease state associated with pathological conditions that are modulated by inhibiting cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, such disease states including inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, in particular type IV cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of lowering abnormally high serum cholesterol levels in the body without significantly reducing mevalonic metabolite synthesis and to novel pharmacological compositions containing as an active ingredient bisphosphonic acid and ester compounds containing a mono-, bi- or tricyclic ring linked with a bisphosphonate moiety through a basic amino alkylene group. This invention also provides novel bisphosphonate compounds and the processes for their preparation.
