  • Publication number: 20240277529
    Abstract: A method for continuously producing disposable pant-type articles from webs moving in a machine direction, the method including attaching a non-elastic crotch web between a tensioned elastic front panel web and a tensioned elastic rear panel web to form a coherent chassis web of interconnected precursor articles and attaching a pair of stretched crotch elastic members to the chassis web in each precursor article with the crotch elastic members being arranged in a cross machine direction, whereafter leg cuts are formed in the chassis web between the precursor articles, the chassis web is folded along a fold-line extending in the machine direction, first and second side seams are formed in each precursor article, along dividing lines between the precursor articles, the side seams being formed from the aligned waist edges of the precursor articles, to the leg cuts, and finally severing individual pant-type articles from the chassis web.

  • Publication number: 20220195398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Abhydrolase containing domain 5 (ABHD5) and N-terminal fragments of HDAC4 (HDAC4-NT) and variants of the aforementioned peptides for the treatment and prevention of heart failure. The present invention further provides vectors for the cardiomyocyte-specific expression of said peptides and a test system comprising ABHD5 for the identification of novel compounds which are useful for the treatment of heart failure.

  • Publication number: 20110171196
    Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of treating and cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy or hypertension comprising the use of CaMKII-HDAC binding domains. The present invention discloses not only the fact that CaMKII binds to HDAC4 at a specific site, but that HDAC4 may dimerize with other HDACs. Both events can lead to export of HDACs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, an event associated with the development of heart disease. Thus the methods of treatment and the screening methods of the present invention are novel attempts to prevent, treat or identify therapies for cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy or hypertension.
