Abstract: A hybrid powerplant is provided for an aircraft. This hybrid powerplant includes a housing, an electric machine, a machine fluid circuit, a heat engine and a geartrain. The housing includes a machine containment zone and an engine compartment outside of the machine containment zone. The electric machine is arranged within the machine containment zone. The machine fluid circuit services the electric machine. The machine fluid circuit extends in the machine containment zone and is arranged outside of the engine compartment. The heat engine is arranged within the engine compartment. The geartrain is operatively connected to the electric machine and the heat engine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the finding that certain DPP-4 inhibitors are particularly suitable for treating and/or preventing metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes, in patients with insufficient glycemic control despite a therapy with an oral and/or a non-oral antidiabetic drug.

Abstract: The specification describes the use of selected DPP IV inhibitors for the treatment of physiological functional disorders and for reducing the risk of the occurrence of such functional disorders in at-risk patient groups. In addition, the use of the above-mentioned DPP IV inhibitors in conjunction with other active substances is described, by means of which improved treatment outcomes can be achieved. These applications may be used to prepare corresponding medicaments.
