  • Patent number: 11535205
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method of cleaning surfaces of an enclosable environment of a contamination comprising a microbial and viral load. The method includes the steps of sealing the enclosable environment and placing water, and a solid or gel pack, into a container and generating a vortex the container by rotating an impeller. The agitation causes the solid or gel pack to release a gaseous cleaning agent. An air-borne spray exiting from the container spreads throughout the enclosable environment to contact the surfaces to be cleaned within the enclosable environment. The enclosable environment is maintained closed for an effective time period while the air-borne spray dwells on the surfaces to eliminate or substantially reduce the load of the contamination.

    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for improving the health of an animal by reducing certain diseases and by binding certain heavy metals that may be unintentionally introduced into the body of the animal from the environment. Compositions and methods are also provided for improving the feed conversion ratio of an animal. In addition, compositions and methods are provided for reducing nitrate pollution in the environment. In one embodiment, the composition may include mastic gum, a mixture of ionic minerals, and optionally an essential amino acid not produced by the animal. The ionic minerals may be derived from water sourced from an inland sea such as the Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sea, or another inland sea. The essential amino acid may be included in the form of a protein. The animal may be a ruminant, poultry, or other animal. Methods are also provided for processing mastic gum.

  • Patent number: 9005672
    Abstract: A bioscaffolding can be formed within a post-myocardial infarct region sufficient to cause attenuation of a rate of myocardial infarct expansion. A bioscaffolding may further be formed in the post-myocardial infarct region to cause an increase in posterior left ventricular wall thickness. The gel or bioscaffolding can be formed from a mixture of gel components of different gelation systems. For example, a bioscaffolding can be formed by mixing at least two different components of at least two different two-component gelation systems to form a first mixture and by mixing at least two different components (other than the components that make up the first mixture) of the at least two different two-component gelation systems to form a second mixture.

  • Publication number: 20150072005
    Abstract: Provided are methods for enhancing the efficacy of aspirin. Also provided are methods for reducing pain or preventing or treating heart attack, stroke or blood clot in a subject in need thereof. The methods entail orally administering to the subject a first composition comprising a first amount of aspirin, and a second composition comprising a second amount of aspirin, wherein the first composition is formulated so as to, upon administration, disintegrate or dissolve intraorally providing rapid release of the aspirin of the first composition in the subject, and wherein the second composition is formulated to be substantially more difficult than the first composition to disintegrate or dissolve intraorally but is ingestible and releasable in the gastrointestinal track of the subject. The method can further include administering to the subject a painkiller or an agent suitable for treating a cardiovascular disease or condition.
