Abstract: A method for inducing analgesia and/or inhibiting abuse of abusive substances includes administration of d-methadone metabolites or their structural analogs. The d-methadone metabolites, EMDP and EDDP, and their structural analogs may be incorporated into a suitable pharmaceutical composition for administration to patients. The invention includes the method itself, certain structural analogs, and pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the method.

Abstract: An article comprising an organic solvent free aqueous liquid laundry detergent at least about 35% by weight of water and an inorganic salt, an ionic surfactant, and a non-ionic surfactant which is contained in a package, preferably a pouch or packet containing a unit dose of said liquid laundry detergent, said package comprising a water-soluble film-forming material that dissolves when place in the laundry wash water so as to release the liquid laundry detergent, said water-soluble film-forming material being in substantially direct contact with the liquid laundry detergent, said film-forming material maintaining its structural integrity prior to addition to the laundry wash water due to the critical level of salt contained within the liquid laundry detergent, and wherein said individual pouches are stored within a water vapor impermeable container.

Abstract: Sodium decyl sulfate yields high foam production when added to aqueous compositions containing high levels of sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate toothpastes and gels containing sodium decyl sulfate have high foaming properties and hold a desirable ribbon-type shape when applied to a toothbrush. Rheological properties and phase stability of such toothpastes can be controlled by the addition of potassium carbonate.

Abstract: The invention relates to MR contrast media containing composite nanoparticles, preferably comprising a superparamagnetic iron oxide core provided with a coating comprising an oxidatively cleaved starch coating optionally together with a functionalized polyalkyleneoxide which serves to prolong blood residence.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds comprising a linear, branched or dendrimeric polymer backbone with linked thereto at least one reporter moiety, said polymer backbone comprising a plurality of amine-containing acids. Such compounds may be linked to one or more targeting agents and are useful as therapeutic and diagnostic agents, in particular in medical imaging techniques.
