Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods targeting cells in a subject harboring conditions or at risk for conditions that would benefit from gas-based diagnostic and therapy. The present invention relates to the use of fluorochemical compositions and methods of delivery that result in retention of the fluorochemical composition and any bioactive agent, including gaseous substances, delivered in combination with the fluorochemical composition.

The present invention relates to the use of fluorochemical compositions and methods of delivery that result in retention of the fluorochemical composition and any bioactive agent, including gaseous substances, delivered in combination with the fluorochemical composition. The present invention also relates to the use of fluorochemical compositions in conjunction with oxygen and photo sensitizers to enhance photodynamic diagnosis and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel method using a MegaRibavirin aerosol or a MegaRibavirin combination of therapeutics for the treatment of viral disease particularly the pandemic influenza strains “swine” 2009 HI N1 and H5N1. This invention utilizes Ribavirin in an aerosol Mega Dose (61-161 mg/ml) alone or combined with or without other antivirals, a perfluorocarbon emulsion and anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidants. Where applicable, the perfluorocarbon emulsion may dissolve these agents enabling a depot effect and possible protracted delivery. In addition, perfluorocarbon emulsions have the possible added benefit of oxygen carrying capacity and alveolar nitric oxide sequestration, which may reduce peroxynitrite formation and decrease Influenza severity.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods targeting tissue resident cells, such as fibroblasts, in a subject harboring conditions or at risk for conditions that would benefit from anti-fibroblastic therapy. The present invention relates to the use of fluorochemical compositions and methods of delivery that result in retention of the fluorochemical composition and any bioactive agent delivered in combination with the fluorochemical composition.
