Abstract: This invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for topical application containing high concentrations of the enzyme collagenase in non-aqueous excipients. The invention also provides a particular excipient, dextran, which is especially useful for admixture with collagenase and which can also be used to advantage with other pharmaceutically active materials.

Abstract: A brassiere construction has breast cups provided with a central diagonally extending panel that is stretchable in vertical directions, and which is non-stretchable in horizontal directions, thus to accommodate different volumes of breast tissue falling within a determined range of volumes.

Abstract: There is provided a brassiere frame which includes a pair of breast cups each having a upper portion and a lower portion, a pair of dorsal panels each adjacent a different one of the pair of breast cups with each dorsal panel having a side segment adjacent the breast cup and a back segment adjacent the side segment but opposite the breast cup, and a pair of shoulder straps each strap connected to a different one pair of breast cups and respective dorsal panel. The brassiere frame also includes a body band adjacent the lower edge of the frame and connected to the pair of breast cups and the pair of dorsal panels, and a horizontally stretchable, triangular member positioned between the lower portion and a part of the upper portions of the breast cups for connecting together the breast cups and also connected to the body band.

Abstract: A brassiere having cups supported on their bottom by a non-distensible frame panel connected to the bottom of the cup and supported on the inner and outer top sides by a multi-directional stretchable frame connected to the cup by a narrow transition panel. The frame is cut to provide maximum stretch along the outer edge of the cup, and maximum stretch traverse to the inner edge of the cup. The transition panel has an open pattern and is hingable about an axis parallel to the edge of the cup.

Abstract: A brassiere having cups supported on their bottom by a non-distensible frame panel connected to the bottom of the cup and supported on the inner and outer top sides by a unitary, multi-directional stretchable frame panel connected to the cup by a narrow transition panel. The unitary frame panel is cut to provide maximum stretch along the outer edge of the cup, and maximum stretch traverse to the inner edge of the cup. The transition panels are an open pattern hingable about an axis parallel to the edge of the cup.

Abstract: An attenuated strain of cytomegalovirus is prepared by serial passage in human tissue culture cells. The stain of virus so attenuated is incorporated into vaccines and used for developing immunity in humans against infections with cytomegalovirus.

Abstract: A process for the fractionation of liquid solutions of protein mixtures which includes the steps of subjecting such solutions to electrodialysis in the pH range 4.8 to 6, until desalting of the solution commences, said electrodialysis being conducted at temperatures below 15.degree.C; and continuing said electrodialysis until the specific resistance of the mixture exceeds 1000 ohm-cm whereby a fraction of said protein mixture precipitates; and recovering the dialysate. Another aspect of the invention is an albumin concentrate for use in the preparation of plasma extenders, having at least 90% albumin, free from salts, euglobulins and euglobulin-like materials.
