Abstract: A pocket square holder is provided. The holder is a plate that is rectangular though the midportion with distal and proximal ends that are wider than the midportion thereby defining a notched midportion. An elastic band circumscribes the midportion for removably securing a lower portion of a pocket square. Another band removably connects to the proximal end, as opposed to circumscribing, for tapering an upper portion of the pocket square that would protrude through a pocket of an upper garment that the pocket square was operatively associated with.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of modulating an inflammatory response in a mammal and to agents useful for same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of modulating an inflammatory response in a mammal by modulating the functional activity of activin and thereby modulating the pro-inflammatory mediator cascade. The method of the present invention is useful, inter alia, in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions characterised by an aberrant, unwanted or otherwise inappropriate inflammatory response including, inter alia, sepsis and inflammation of the airway. The present invention is further directed to methods for identifying and/or designing agents capable of modulating activin mediated regulation of the inflammatory response.
