  • Publication number: 20120095388
    Abstract: A method includes positioning an effective amount of a thermal target material at a treatment site of a patient. The treatment site, that is, the location of the thermal target material, comprises a location adjacent to biological tissue to be treated. The thermal target material includes carbon molecules preferably in a carrier fluid. Regardless of the particular structure of the carbon, the carbon molecules in the material heat very rapidly in response to incident microwave radiation and radiate heat energy. The heat energy radiated from an effective amount of the thermal target material when subjected to an effective quantity of microwave energy causes localized heating around the thermal target material. This localized heating may be applied for therapeutic purposes. However, the microwave radiation necessary to produce therapeutically effective heating is insufficient to cause cellular damage in the biological tissue by direct absorption in the tissue.

  • Patent number: 7863287
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition and method for the treatment of rhinitis and cold-like symptoms which includes a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), a decongestant, and an antihistamine. It has been found that an NSAID enhances the activity of a decongestant and an anti-histamine, thus permitting a reduction in either or both in administration of separate dosage forms. The same enhancement can also occur with an anti-tussitive. Thus, the effective amount of the decongestant or the antihistamine or both is less than about 75% of an amount present in an approved dose of the decongestant or the antihistamine, or both, relative to an amount of the NSAID corresponding to about 100% of the amount present in a normal strength dosage form of the NSAID.

  • Publication number: 20100286589
    Abstract: A method and chemical composition for modifying and dissolving atherosclerotic plaques formed in blood vessels of a patient is provided. The chemical composition comprising one or more of an organic substance, an inorganic substance, and a bioactive product is administered at sites of the plaques formed in the patient's blood vessels. The chemical composition comprises, for example, one or more of d-limonene, propylene glycol, octanic acid, 2-octane, and glycerine. The chemical composition enables modification of the plaques by altering composition of the plaques. The modification comprises partial dissolution, complete dissolution or elimination of the plaques. The modification makes the plaques amenable to different forms of plaque treatment, for example, balloon angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy, etc. The modified plaques are eliminated from the body of the patient.
