Abstract: A method for the emperic treatment of an intertrigal skin infection potentially caused by a gram-positive bacteria in a human patient that includes a topical administration to the patient of a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a bactericidal amount of a Gram-positive bactericide and an antimycotic amount of an antifungal component suspended in a skin-barrier carrier.

Abstract: A lyophilized imaging agent formulation and methods for making same are disclosed, such formulations comprise a targeting molecule such as antibody or chemotactic peptide, a linker such as diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) or succinimidyl 6-hydrazinium nicotinate hydrochloride (SHNH), drying protectant such as mannitol, maltose or tricine, and excipient such as polysorbate 80, in citrate buffer. The formulations of the invention are lyophilized and may be stored stably for extended periods of time. Following reconstitution with diluent, the formulations are administered to a subject for scintigraphic imaging or therapeutic use. Also contemplated is a kit comprising a two-vial system wherein a first vial comprises a lyophilized formulation of imaging agent in the form of a lyophilized cake, and a second vial comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

Abstract: An improved solid pharmaceutical composition comprising a lyophilized liposomal KL4 pulmonary surfactant composition comprising:(a) about 1 to about 10 percent weight KL4 polypeptide; and(b) 50 to about 100 weight percent phospholipid comprised of about 3 parts DPPC to about 1 part POPG.A facile process for the production of the lyophilized solid composition is also provided.

Abstract: Shelf stable formulations of 2-CdA in water are disclosed which contain benzyl alcohol and, optionally, propylene glycol.

Abstract: Shelf stable formulations of 2-CdA in water are disclosed which contain benzyl alcohol, m-cresol, a buffer and sodium chloride or a solubilizing agent such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol.

Abstract: The movable jaw on a gripper mechanism is engaged by a bowed spring feeler element to effect a change in its lateral deflection thereof at a maximum magnification ratio to displacement of the movable jaw from an operative position gripping a single sheet of paper. Deformation of the feeler element is regulated by a bearing abutment spaced from a contact sensing assembly through which the intermediate portion of the element extends to monitor the paper gripping operation.

Abstract: Sterile, essentially crystalline cefazolin sodium for parenteral administration is prepared by a freeze-drying process wherein a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alcohol-water solution of cefazolin sodium containing about 10 percent by volume of the C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alcohol is chilled slowly from room temperature to about -10.degree. C. over a 3-12 hour period and then rapidly cooled to -30.degree. to about -40.degree. C. and held for 1-2 hours before subjecting said frozen solution to a high vacuum and a moderate amount of heat to sublime the frozen solvent therefrom. The resulting powder dissolves rapidly in acceptable pharmaceutical diluents.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical suspension for parenteral administration is provided which comprises finely divided crystals of cefazolin suspended in a vehicle composed of water, a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, lecithin and a viscosity adjusting agent or agents. Methods are also provided for preparing such a suspension.

Abstract: Sterile, essentially amorphous cefazolin sodium for parenteral administration, having an improved solubility on reconstitution, is prepared by a freeze-drying process wherein a sterile solution of from about 10 to about 25 percent (W/V) of cefazolin sodium is exposed to an environment wherein the temperature is held at from about minus 50.degree. C. to minus 55.degree. C. until the temperature of the solution (frozen) is reduced to minus 48.degree. C. to minus 55.degree. C. before subjecting said frozen solution to a high vacuum and a moderate amount of heat to sublime the water therefrom.
