Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a compound(s) selected from isoniazid and isoniazid analogs of formula Ia, wherein R is —C(O)NHNH2, —C(O)NHNHC1-6 alkyl, —C(O)NHN?C1-6 alkenyl, —C(O)NHNHC2-6 alkenyl, —C(O)NHC1-6 alkyl, —C(O)NHC2-6 alkenyl, —C(O)NHNHC(O)C1-6alkyl, —NHC(O)C1-6 alkyl, —NHC(O)C1-6 alkenyl, —NHC(O)NH2, —NHC(O)NHC1-6alkyl, —NHC(O)NHC2-6 alkenyl, or —COOH, and wherein formula (Ia) optionally is further substituted with one or more substituents; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof, for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating a condition selected from the group consisting of cutaneous lesions, wounds, ulcers and infarcts in a tissue area with compromised vascularisation, in an animal, such as a human subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for database management. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and system for fault finding in repository management code, in which a data repository is operated including a respective logging mechanism for write and read operations being processed on the data repository. In order to improve such fault finding in case of an inconsistency found in the repository, the present invention performs a repeated sequence of undoing a respective last operation and subsequent checking of the consistency of the repository until the repository is found consistent again. Subsequently the fault finding system redoes the last operation by a redo operation, and generates a diagnostic output including some debugging information which is usable for retrieving the one or more software instructions, for example in form of a call stack, which indicates a reason for the inconsistency that was found.

Abstract: A system and method for realizing transactions within an existing protocol for accessing information uses control information supported by the protocol for specifying transactional or non-transactional requests. This is achieved by adding controls, e.g. a transaction control and a transaction identifier (ID), to individual requests. The transaction control may be a control for opening or closing a transaction. The transaction ID identifies each individual request belonging to certain transaction. A transaction is opened by a client program by adding a transaction control with a value indicating a new transaction to the first request. Preferably, the server program generates a transaction ID for the opened transaction and sends back a return code containing the transaction ID. All subsequent requests belonging to that transaction are extended with the transaction ID by the client program.

Abstract: A panel member is disclosed for an automotive vehicle. The panel member is disposed on the underside of the vehicle in a spaced relation to the roadway and includes a first constricted portion in front of the front wheel, and a second constricted portion behind the rear wheel. The constricted portions provide first and second constricted spaces between the panel member and the roadway. The panel member also includes boundary element portions which are disposed along the longitudinal sides of the panel member, generally between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle. The boundary element portions cooperate with the panel member to form an air duct. The panel member is formed to provide an essentially smooth surface and to cover parts of the chassis such as axles, control arms, or the like.
