  • Publication number: 20140234432
    Abstract: Methods for controlling bleeding (e.g., enhancing coagulation and reducing fibrinolysis) in a subject are disclosed. The methods include selecting a subject in need of enhanced coagulation or reduced fibrinolysis, and administering to the subject a carbon monoxide releasing molecule (CORM). Examples of CORMs include tricarbonyldichlororuthenium (II) dimer, tricarbonylchloro-(glycinato)ruthenium (II), sodium boranocarbonate, dimanganese decacarbonyl, and iron pentacarbonyl. Further disclosed are compositions and methods for treating a subject in need of a blood product by administering to the subject a composition including a CORM and a blood product (e.g., cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma).

  • Patent number: 6116748
    Abstract: A lighting system provided for illuminating a region of an aisle in a theater, auditorium or the like, comprises a light housing attached to an aisle-side of a row-end theater or auditorium seat. Four individual miniature electric light sources, preferably high intensity light emitting diodes (LED's), provide the illumination, and are mounted in the housing at a downwardly and outwardly facing housing window. A first focusing columniating primary lens installed in front of each LED and a second shaping secondary lens strip installed in series in front of the LED's focus columniate and shape light emitted by the LED's so as to cause illumination of a specific below-adjacent region of said aisle.
