Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salts, preferably water soluble zinc salts alone or optionally, in combination with one or more of a protein pump inhibitor (PPI), H2 blocker, anti-H. pylori antibiotic/antimicrobial, cytoprotective agent or a combination agent as otherwise described herein for providing fast action with optional long duration effect in reducing gastric acid secretion, raising the pH of the stomach during resting phase as well as decreasing the duration of stomach acid release during a secretagogue phase and for treating conditions including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZE disease), ulcer disease, and gastric cancer, as well as preventing or reducing the likelihood of ulcer disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a ring (1) for implantation in patients receiving stoma having (i) an inner ring (2) suitable for fitting an abdominal wall on its outer circumference having an opening (3) suitable for an abdominal organ to pass through the ring to the exterior side (5) and (ii) a lip seal (4) extending over the interior side (5) of the inner ring (2) to seal the stoma opening for use in abdominal surgery. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method of treatment, comprising the surgical introduction of a ring (1) of the invention into the abdominal wall of a mammal in need of abdominal, preferably stoma surgery.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salts, in particular, zinc chloride and zinc acetate, alone or optionally, in combinations with one or more of a protein pump inhibitor (PPI), H2 blocker, anti-H. pylori antibiotic/antimicrobial, cytoprotective agent or a combination agent as otherwise described herein for providing fast action with optional long duration effect in reducing gastric acid secretion, including acid secretion in the fundus (by inhibiting vacuolar H+-ATPase or H+/K+-ATPase) and upper body region of the stomach (by inhibiting H+/K+-ATPase), thus raising the pH of gastric juices in rapid fashion and decreasing the duration of stomach acid release during a secretagogue phase. This method is also directed to treating conditions including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZE disease), ulcer disease, and gastric cancer, as well as preventing or reducing the likelihood of ulcer disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salts, in particular, zinc chloride and zinc acetate alone or optionally, in combination with one or more of a protein pump inhibitor (PPI), H2-blocker, cytoprotective agent or a combination of agents as otherwise described herein for providing fast action with optional long duration effect in reducing gastric acid secretion, including acid secretion in the fundus (by inhibiting vacuolar H+-ATPase or H+/K+-ATPase) and upper body region of the stomach (by inhibiting H+/K+-ATPase), thus raising the pH of gastric juices in rapid fashion and decreasing the duration of stomach acid release during a secretagogue phase. The method is also directed to treating conditions including gastroesophogeal reflux disease, non-erosive reflux disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, ulcer disease, and gastric cancer, as well as preventing or reducing the likelihood of ulcer disease.
