Abstract: Antibodies specific for secretogranin III (Scg3) are disclosed. Methods of using the antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same in the treatment of diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of prematurity, and cancer, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A spectacle assembly structured for use by individuals of different facial characteristics comprising a pair of lenses and a nose-bridge extending between the lens pair in interconnecting relation thereto. A nose pad assembly is connected to the nose-bridge and extends rearwardly thereof in supported engagement with a prominent nasal support on an individual's nose, wherein the location of the prominent nasal support is determined by the facial characteristics of the individual. The nose-bridge and the nose pad assembly are disposed in an operative position relative to the optical centers of the lens pair so as to facilitate substantial alignment between the optical centers and the pupils of the individual's eyes, when the nose pad assembly engages the prominent nasal support.

Abstract: A simplified operation for setting a dental implant into bone following tooth extraction uses the cavity left by the extraction rather than drilling. To hold the implant in the proper position in the tooth cavity, it is braced with resorbant material. The implant can be surrounded by resorbant material in various ways: it may be emplaced between two blocks of resorbant material, the blocks sewn together, and the combination inserted into the cavity; or resorbant material may be cut into a strip and the implant rolled up in the strip prior to insertion. Additional resorbant material can be inserted to adjust the position of the implant. With the implant properly aligned, the gums flaps are sutured over the resorbant material and implant. In time, bone will grow around the implant and firmly fix it into the bony structure. A dowel or abutment head may then be mounted to the implant for attaching a prosthetic tooth, bridge, or the like.
