  • Publication number: 20220331388
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for supplementing dietary fiber intake through the administration of new psyllium-containing chocolate food products. The compositions can be used to supplement dietary fiber intake and promote dietary regulation and wellness management. The chocolate composition comprising particular ratios of chocolate, psyllium, and lipids, and the emulsion-forming formulation methods disclosed herein surprisingly reduce the unpleasant gelling in the mouth/throat during mastication/swallowing that is frequently associated with psyllium-containing products. The protective capabilities of the ingredients of the present compositions provide for and, accordingly, allow for, suitable manufacturing and improved organoleptic properties which promote long-term adoption and consistent use by subjects.

  • Publication number: 20220305219
    Abstract: A surgical humidification system includes a source of gas flow and a humidifier that receives the gas flow and outputs a humidified gas to a delivery conduit. The delivery conduit has an outlet and a suitable interface, such as a diffuser, is connected to the outlet. The interface can be positioned near or within an open surgical cavity of a patient to supply the humidified gas to the cavity. The system also includes a pressure relief arrangement that operates to relieve pressure from the system above a normal operating pressure. The pressure relief arrangement can be located in a non-sterile portion of the system, such as upstream from the humidifier, for example.
