Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising HMB. Methods of administering HMB to an animal are also described. HMB is administered to enhance recovery from soft tissue trauma, including both acute and non-acute soft tissue trauma. Enhanced recovery includes reduced recovery time and enhanced soft tissue healing. Soft tissue trauma includes administration of a Botulinum toxin, such as Botox. Administration of HMB in association with administration of a Botulinum toxin increases muscle strength and/or function in muscle, including adjacent and/or contralateral muscles and prevents or lessens loss of contractile material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising HMB. Methods of administering HMB to an animal are also described. HMB is administered to decrease joint instability, increase joint stability, decrease joint stiffness, improve joint function, improve joint health, improve balanced movement and improve skeletal joint stability during muscle movement. HMB is administered to increase muscle strength and/or muscle mass in a side of the body contralateral to joint inflammation, joint damage, and/or joint injury.

Abstract: A circular infant protection and development pillow for protecting the head of an infant that is learning to sit up. The infant protection and development pillow assists in the development of the infant's back muscles which are not yet strong enough to independently support the infant while providing protection for the infant's head. The lower interior portion of the pillow allows the infant to sit within the pillow which fully surrounds the sitting infant. The upper portion of the pillow provides a soft but supportive continuously curved surface which in combination with an encircling inner seat pocket and inner seat area allow for variable positioning of the infant. The lower interior portion of the pillow is padded for the sitting infant's comfort and protection. The internal cushion portion of the pillow may be made of soft yet supportive material including foam rubber. The exterior cover of the pillow is of a one-piece construction and may be removed for washing or cleaning.
