Abstract: The invention is a dual lumen, adjustable cannula assembly which comprises an inner cannula which is moveable within an outer cannula. Each cannula has openings for fluid passage. The assembly may be placed at any region within a body cavity such as the peritoneal cavity, the vena cava, veins or arteries. The inner cannula can be advanced beyond the position of the cannula assembly so as to communicate with a region of the cavity different from that with which the outer cavity communicates.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting the formation of oxygen-containing free radicals and derivatives of them during and following exercise is disclosed. It includes administering an amount of a supplement containing one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of pentose carbohydrates and derivatives thereof in conjunction with said exercise. The supplement is administered as a dose at one or more times selected from prior to, during and after exercise.

Abstract: A two layer prophylactic device taking the form of a male or female condom, or female diaphragm. The invention includes two latex layers bonded to one another along a spiral path which defines a corresponding spiral chamber between the latex layers. This spiral chamber extends between two compliant chambers at opposed ends of the device and is filled with a pharmacological fluid to help kill disease-bearing microbes and sperm cells which may permeate through the device during coitus. Due to the unique spiral chamber design leading between the complaint chambers, this pharmacological fluid remains uniformly dispersed during coitus and the device is less subject to rupture. Should one layer rupture during use, the pharmacological fluid will flow through the rupture and coat the adjacent sex organ. The present invention is especially effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
