Abstract: A method for generating a material for a partial replacement includes receiving an image of a sample of an original material needing to be replaced, generating a representative data set for the original material based on the image received, accessing a reference database comprised of a plurality of different materials and including reference texture data or reference characteristic data for each of the plurality of different materials, comparing the representative data set to the reference data in the reference database, identifying at least one of the plurality of different materials correlated to the representative data set, determining the identified correlated material is not available, sending a request to generate a replacement material, and generating the replacement material.

Abstract: Beclomethasone dipropionate in the form of its micronised monohydrate substantially free from water other than water of crystallisation. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compound are also described. The compositions may be in the form of powder inhalation cartridges especially suitable for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of asthma.

Abstract: An antiinflammatory steroid exhibiting a tendency to crystal growth in suspension in aerosol propellants is contacted with a halogenated hydrocarbon to form a crystalline solvate, which, after removal of some or all of the propellant from the crystals, is reduced to a particle size permitting inhalation into the human bronchial system when dispersed as an aerosol, the micronized crystalline solvate not thereafter exhibiting crystal growth in the aerosol propellant. The solvate is a new composition of matter which has been characterized by I.R. spectra and the aerosol formulation prepared therefrom has valuable therapeutic properties, particularly in the treatment of asthma.
