Abstract: A composition and method for treatment of brittle, broken, cracked or otherwise damaged nail and hoof plates. The composition is an aqueous-organic medium containing a non-covalent complex of a diamine and an organic acid or an aqueous-organic medium with a diamine alone.

Abstract: Photopolymerizable topcoat and color coat gel compositions suitable for forming a photopolymerized nail coating are described. Both gel compositions include a mixture of one or more pre-formed polymers, a (meth)acrylic monomer, a multi-(meth)acrylate crosslinker, a UV photoinitiator and an antioxidant. The color coat gel composition includes pigments, a smectite clay and silica.

Abstract: Compositions useful as dermal fillers and methods using such compositions to treat various skin and soft tissue conditions. The dermal fillers can comprise silk attached to hyaluronic acid using for example two cross linkers and can be used to treat of facial imperfections, facial defects, facial augmentations, breast imperfections, breast augmentations or breast reconstructions.

Abstract: A photopolymerizable composition for forming a photopolymerized nail top coating of a substantially uniform mixture of ethyl cellulose and crosslinked (meth)acrylate polymer is disclosed.

Abstract: Hydrogels comprising a macromolecular matrix and water may be used to augment soft tissue of a human being, promote or support cell or tissue viability or proliferation, create space in tissue, and for other purposes. A macromolecular matrix may comprise a hyaluronic acid component crosslinked to a silk fibroin component.

Abstract: An intragastric balloon with a 12-month lifespan. The intragastric balloon has a shell made of a material with as good as or better than initial mechanical properties of previous materials; i.e. higher ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation at break (Eb), lower stiffness (K), higher acid stability, and improved resistance to infection. The new materials in particular provide improved acid resistance. These new materials produce a device that has reduced adverse events and a longer lifespan in vivo. The materials may form the entire wall of the shell or may form just a barrier layer coupled with a scaffold layer of a different material.
