Abstract: This invention relates to sustained release pharmaceutical compositions comprising liothyronine, or a salt or derivative thereof. Additionally, the present invention is directed to methods of manufacture and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel ramipril crystalline particles with improved stability and bioavailability. More particularly, the present invention is directed to individually coated, single ramipril crystalline particles for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications in oral therapies that are stabilized against decomposition into degradation products, namely, ramipril-DKP and ramipril-diacid, during formulation and storage conditions. The present invention also relates to stabilized ramipril pharmaceutical compositions, novel anhydrous pharmaceutical grade ramipril powders, methods for improving ramipril bioavailability, and methods of manufacture and stabilization of ramipril formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ramipril compositions with improved stability. More particularly, the present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising ramipril that are stabilized against decomposition into degradation products, namely, ramipril-diketopiperazine and ramipril-diacid, during formulation and storage conditions. The present invention also relates to methods for making and methods of manufacturing stabilized ramipril compositions.

Abstract: An improved handheld device for holding and measuring fish generally comprised of two troughs of rigid material with end walls and known length attached longitudinally with a hinge. The distance between the end walls is made equal to the minimum legal length established for the species of fish for which the device is to be used. The device is grasped by the fisherman and held on the hand by straps on the convex surfaces of the troughs. The troughs are then closed around the fish. The known length between the end walls of the troughs provides a means of determining if a fish meets minimum size requirements. Textured surfaces attached to end walls act as jaws to hold the fish securely for hook removal. The device provides protection from cuts and abrasions to the fisherman as well as eliminating the need to precisely measure the fish. The device is lined with protective material to reduce stress on the fish and restrict its movement.
