Abstract: A cutting edge for agricultural use provides opposed cutting edges arranged to be rotationally symmetric about an axis so that the cutting edge may be reversed in the field to repair or replace the cutting edge without the need for separate spare parts. In some embodiments a support plate may provide a ledge stop supporting the unused cutting edge to absorb impact shocks without cutting edge damage.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for delivering a medicament to a nail plate or nail bed that comprises providing a therapeutically effective amount of a medicament, etching the surface of the nail, and applying a medicament to the surface of the nail. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method of treating a fungal infection of the fingernail or toenail. Also included in the present invention are the compositions (i.e., the etching compositions and/or the medicament compositions) used to treat the nail in accordance with the methods of the present invention.

Abstract: A method of transmucosally delivering a cannabinoid to a subject in need of such treatment comprising the steps of: administering to the subject a transmucosal preparation containing the cannabinoid wherein said transmucosal preparation is made by incorporating an effective amount of the cannabinoid via hot-melt extrusion technology, hot-melt molding, admixing or a solvent cast technique into a film matrix or a reservoir containing the cannabinoid, and attaching said transmucosal preparation to the mucosa of the subject.

Abstract: The present invention includes a hot-melt extruded film and method of preparation thereof. The film is made from a precursor composition containing at least a water soluble or water swellable thermoplastic polymer, preferably HPC and/or PEO, and a bioadhesive polymer. The film can also contain a therapeutic agent, preservative, buffering agent, antioxidant, super-disintegrant or absorbent, flavorant, colorant, water insoluble polymer, organic acid, surfactant, film modifier, and/or cross-linking agent. The film does not contain a conventional plasticizer or a material which is generally recognized in the art as a plasticizer for extruded films. The film can be sized and shaped to provide a controlled delivery of a therapeutic agent to the buccal, rectal, uterine, vaginal, abdominal, cranial, ophthalmic, nasal, sinus, or otic cavities. The film can also be used for the treatment of wounds.

Abstract: A therapeutic composition having wet adherent properties and particularly useful for delivery of medicaments to mucosal surfaces comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a medicament dispersed in a base material comprising from about 3 to 15% by weight of a water soluble salt of a copolymer of methyl vinyl ether and maleic acid or anhydride and from about 85 to 97% by weight of polyethylene glycol. Formulations of the base material with triamcinolone acetonide and lidocaine are particularly efficacious in the treatment of recurrent aphthous ulcers.
