Abstract: A spill containment and remediation system. A reel for a boom is mounted in the upper part of a weatherproof housing. The lower region of the housing is leakproof and can store recovered liquid spill. A boom or dike is mounted on the reel. The housing has an opening which is normally sealed shut by a door. The housing is configured to be mounted on the exterior of a tanker delivery truck. When a spill occurs the door is opened and the boom readily deployed through the opening. After use, the contaminated boom can be reeled-in and stored over the lower region of the housing.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and other conditions associated therewith. In particular, the methods include treatment of pulmonary hypertension with an estradiol metabolite or alkoxy analogue of an estradiol metabolite. The estradiol metabolite or alkoxy analogue thereof may be associated with biodegradable microparticles or nanoparticles alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. Preferred estradiol metabolites include 2-methoxyestradiol, 4-methoxyestradiol, 2-hydroxyestradiol, and 4-hydroxyestradiol and preferred alkoxy analogues of estradiol metabolites include 2-ethoxyestradiol, and/or to synthetic derivatives and analogues thereof or prodrugs thereof. The compositions may also be in the form of a controlled release formulation.
