  • Publication number: 20120083772
    Abstract: A system for bilateral or monocular photochemical cross-linking of corneal collagen employs selectable light in a selected wavelength band as the excitation source and riboflavin as the photosensitizer. The system has an illumination source which may have multi-spectral capability, light guides for delivery of light to the optical head for projection onto the corneal surface, selectable radiation patterns to accommodate individual corneal architecture, and red light phototherapy to limit apoptosis and accelerate healing time. Aiming beams provide alignment of the optical head to the patient cornea. A microprocessor-controlled rotary solenoid mechanical shutter provides discontinuous illumination for tissue reoxygenation, and devices and methods may be included for the in situ determination of oxygen utilization and the riboflavin content of the cornea.

    Abstract: A controlled release molecular iodine biocide for use in human cavities especially the vaginal, penile canal, nasal passages and rectum. Particles can be functionalized with epithelial cell binding molecules and lymphocyte-binding molecules attached to their surfaces. Half of all the particles can contain pH buffer salts that control pH to between around pH 3.5 to pH 4.5. A second half of the particles can contain Iodide and iodate salts. When pH particles and iodate/iodide particles are bound next to each other, molecular iodine is released in a controlled fashion. Molecular iodine is effective biocide. In an alternate embodiment, there can be two distinct populations of particles, one with epithelial cell binding molecules and one with lymphocyte-binding molecules. Again, half of all the particles can contain a pH buffer and half iodide and iodate salts.

  • Patent number: 7371398
    Abstract: Animals have been domesticated and kept as a source of milk for tens of thousands of years. When humans keep animals for their ability to produce milk, the animals are usually kept in confined spaces. As a result of this confinement the animals are exposed to high levels of urine and fecal matter which originated with the animals which are being kept. This exposure contaminates the animal and in particular the udder and teats of the animal, with bacteria. In the milking process this bacteria can further contaminate the milk which is destine for human consumption. The bacteria can further cause mastitis in the bovine. The above set forth problems are eliminated in the subject invention wherein the udder and teat areas of the bovine are sanitized with a solution which contains both Cl+ and I+ ions wherein the I+ ion is produced by the oxidation of a solution of a dry iodine salt, without an N-chloro organic compound. The iodine salt may be an alkali metal iodide, an exemplary oxidizer is tricholormelamine.

    Abstract: A wound-healing preparation comprises a solution or paste of a non-reducing sugar and iodine in a vehicle consisting essentially of a pharamcologically acceptable glycol, especially glycerol, and, optionally, water. Preferably, the sugar is sucrose, especially that obtained from sugar beet, and the vehicle is substantially anhydrous glycerol. In one preferred embodiment, the preparation is in the form of a veterinary infusible solution and is particularly useful in the treatment of mastitis. In another embodiment, surgical sutures are treated by coating with the preparation to prevent the presence or abscesses around surgical suture lines.
