Abstract: Tags having a metallic heft and processes for making them are described in which a first resin-based thermal mass transfer printer image is applied to a metallized polymer film, with or without an intervening translucent print receptive layer, and then a second resin-based thermal mass transfer printer image is applied to at least a portion of the first resin-based thernal mass transfer printer image. The first resin-based thermal mass transfer printer image has an opaque first color and the second resin-based thermal mass transfer printer image has an opaque second color, the opaque second color preferably selected to contrast with the first opaque color. These tags are useful as replacements for anodized aluminum asset tags, which are more difficult and expensive to produce and do not lend themselves to printing computer-generated indica such as a series of different bar codes. The disclosed and described tags can be cost-effectively manufactured in small quantities and yet have such variable indica.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions which are suitable for topical application in the treatment of bacterial and/or fungal infections are described. The compositions comprise a synergistic mixture of a silver compound and an azole derivative together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor. The compositions may be applied topically in the treatment of burns ulcers and other skin lesions, general skin infections and also in the treatment of infections of the mucous membranes. Preferred compositions contain silver sulphadiazine and clotrimazole or metronidazole. The compositions may be applied as ointments, gels, pessaries, tablets and the like.
