An absorbent product containing sphagnum moss selected from the group of botanical sections consisting of PALUSTRIA, ACUTIFOLIA, RIGIDA, SUBSECUNDA and CUSPIDATA. The invention also extends to a novel method for manufacturing a highly absorbent structure and to a method for evaluating the liquid absorbent properties of a sphagnum moss composition.

A disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper. The disposable absorbent article has a first topsheet with apertures large enough for low-viscosity fecal material to pass through to a secondary topsheet. The secondary topsheet immobilizes the fecal material in position for dewatering, so that the liquid components of the fecal material are absorbed by the core and the solid components of the fec...

The present invention relates to sulfonate and carbamate derivatives of 3-aroylbenzo[b]thiophenes, pharmaceutical formulations containing these compounds and methods of using such compounds for inhibiting the loss of bone, lowering serum cholesterol levels and therapeutically treating hormone dependent mammalian breast and uterine carcinoma.

Cured cement matrices are exposed to dense-phase or supercritical CO2 which enters the matrix through passages therein to neutralize the natural alkalinity of the cement so that alkali-intolerant materials can be incorporated in the cement. The CO2 converts calcium hydroxide in the cement to calcium carbonate and water, and the high pressure of the dense-phase or supercritical CO2 forms rounded, c...
