Abstract: A gas-inlet element for a CVD reactor includes a gas distribution volume arranged rearward of a gas outlet plate, from which volume pipes having end portions protruding from the gas outlet plate on the front side emerge. The pipes extend into through openings in a shield plate assembly extending parallel to the gas outlet plate. The through openings have a first portion facing the gas outlet plate with a large diameter which is larger than the outer diameter of the respective end portions, and a second portion facing away from the gas outlet plate with a smaller diameter. In order to prevent temperature non-uniformities in the region of the through openings, the diameter of the second portion is smaller than the outer diameter of the respective end portions. The shield plate arrangement additionally consists of two shield plates with different thermal conductivities arranged one above another.

Abstract: An anchor element serves for knotless fixing of a tissue to a bone by means of at least one suture threaded through said anchor element. A body of that anchor element has an outer surface with projections. A transverse bore is arranged in a distal end section of said body for receiving a threading passing therethrough. A clamp element serves for clamping the suture threaded transversely through the bore. The clamping element has a portion arranged within the body and is movable within the body towards that transverse bore.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a vanilloid receptor agonist together with a glycosaminoglycan for producing an agent for treating pain.

Abstract: The invention relates to using neurotoxic substances which in particular are toxic to the axons and to the nociceptive nerve endings in the preparations of agents treating joint pains.

Abstract: The following abstract will replace all prior versions of the abstract in the application: The mixture comprises a vanilloid receptor agonist with a substance, which inhibits nerve regeneration. The mixture is suitable for use, especially, as a painkiller.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a vanilloid receptor agonist together with a glycosaminoglycan for producing an agent for treating pain.

Abstract: The use of resiniferatoxin (RTX) relates to a formulation, which does not contain any local anesthetic and preferably also no other pharmacologically active substances, for the preparation of an agent for the treatment of different pain conditions.
