Patent number: 7723334Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating humans suffering from, or preventing a human from suffering, a physiological or psychiatric disease, disorder, or a condition where inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine is a benefit are disclosed. The compositions comprise a compound having a pharmacological selectivity of serotonin (Ki)/norepinephrine (Ki) of at least about 5000. Examples of such compounds include reboxetine, and more preferably optically pure (S,S) enantiomer of reboxetine. The methods generally include administration of a therapeutic amount of such compositions. Also disclosed are preparations of a medicament from the composition, and uses of the composition in a manufacture of the medicament to treat a human suffering from, or preventing a human from suffering, a physiological or psychiatric disease, disorder, or condition.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Pfizer Inc.Inventors: Erik H.

Publication number: 20060227535Abstract: A recessed insert fixture uses a housing shaped as a hollow, single piece cylinder that comprises a top and a bottom and starts from the top with an internal, shallow cylindrical cavity and continues downwardly with an internal, deep cylindrical cavity. The interior diameter of the former is lesser than the interior diameter of the latter. A first annular channel starting from the top is coaxial with the internal, shallow cylindrical cavity. A second annular channel extends radially, proximately to the top, into a wall of the internal, shallow cylindrical cavity. Two O-rings are used. One is inserted into first annular channel. The other one is inserted into the second annular channel. When the fixture is assembled, the first O-ring is compressed directly by a lid, the other one indirectly by the same lid that acts on a flange and surface of a lamp reflector.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2005Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventor: Robert McArthur
