Abstract: Disclosed is an agent which has a destructive effect on malignant tumors and contains alpha-ketoglutaric acid, N-acetyl-seleno-L-methionine, N-acetyl-L-methionine, and a compound that is capable of forming azomethine and is selected among the group 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, dehydroascorbic acid, maltol, and vanillin as an active substance, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural being preferred. The inventive agent can be used in the form of an infusion, in an oral or rectal form of administration, or as an irrigation in cancer therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a means for weaning people off smoking or alcohol, said means containing alpha-Ketoglutaric acid and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, preferably in a mass ratio of between 2:1 and 12:1. Preferably, said means is in the form of a drink containing the following constituents per litre: between 4 and 8 g of alpha-Keloglutaric acid; between 0.2 and 0.6 g of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; between 20 and 40 g of saccharose; between 2.5 and 5 g of sodium carbonate; between 0.3 and 0.8 g of sorbic acid; and optionally up to 0.5 g of citric acid. The pH value is equal to between 4 and 5.

Abstract: An intravenously administrable, aqueous solution of a water-soluble, physiologically tolerable salt of sulfametrole and of trimethoprim, in which malic acid, L-serine and/or L-threonine are present as solubilizers, and which has a pH of of 6.5-7.0 is disclosed.

Abstract: An agent having a destructive effect on malignant tumors and containing as active substances alpha-ketoglutaric acid and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is described. The agent can be used in cancer therapy both in the form of an infusion solution and as a form for oral or rectal administration or as a douche or ointment.

Abstract: Improved laser-induced shockwave lithotripsy in which pulsed laser radiation situated in the infrared region is concentrated by means of an optical wave guide at a concrement to be destroyed which is surrounded with an aqueous rinsing liquid. The concrement is destroyed mechanically by laser-induced breakdown of the rinsing liquid, giving rise to shockwave and cavitation. The improvement resides in the presence in the rinsing liquid of a metal compound selected from the group consisting of water-soluble salts of metals of the ferrous group of the periodic table, complex compounds of said metals of the ferrous group of the periodic table, water-soluble salts of magnesium and water-soluble salts of calcium, the metal compounds being present in a concentration not exceeding 50 mmol/l, relative to their metal content. The presence of the metal compounds lowers the energy required for said breakdown.

Abstract: A nutrient solution for complete parenteral feeding and for increased energy production, for administration to patients in the post-aggression phase, which contains, in aqueous solution, per 25 parts by weight of an aminoacid mixture, at most 50 parts by weight of glucose or glucose substitutes or both, and 0.8-1.2 parts by weight of L-carnitine in the form of one of its salts. Preferably, the solution also contains electrolytes.

Abstract: Clear aqueous solution capable for intravenous administration comprising 2,4-diamino-5-(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzyl)-pyrimidine as a sulphonamide potentiator, a water-soluble medicinally-acceptable salt of 3-methoxy-4-(4'-aminobenzol-sulphonamido)-1,2,5-thiadiazole and from about 5 to about 40% by weight of a compound selected from the group consisting of sugar-alcohols having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, glucose and fructose, which solution has a pH-value within the range of 6 to 8.
