Surfactant-stabilized ternary complexes of dsRNAs in topical pharmaceutical compositions, optionally also including a lymphokine and/or an inhibitor of reverse transcriptase, are applied topically to the affected or exposed area to treat or prevent viral infections, such as herpes virus, and other infectious conditions, particularly venereally transmitted pathogens. Ternary complexes of two strand...

Parenterally administered systemic dsRNAS release host mediators into various compartmentalized biological fluids to combat various microorganisms, particularly viruses, thereby reducing the infectivity and spread of various organisms including those associated with various diseases such as those caused by venereal warts, herpes and HIV.

This invention describes self-reinforced, absorbable materials and devices or their parts or components for surgical fixation of damaged and/or operated tissues, which materials, devices or their parts or components comprise: (1) matrix of an absorbable polymer or copolymer or of a polymer mixture, (2) reinforcement elements or structures constructed of them which are at least partially embedded i...

A transport means (1) comprising a body (2) and several wheels (3a to 3h) positioned in the longitudinal direction one after another on both sides of the body and turnable about vertical axes (4a to 4h). The transport means (1) is supported at one end turnably by means of a tractor means (6) by means of which the direction of travel of the transport means (1) is controlled. In order that the trans...

The invention relates to a device for the injection of implants, preferably implants "in the form of small rods" (called rods), which are used for the long-term treatment of diseases, whose essential features are the completely transparent construction, especially of the injector body (3), as well as a protecting device which prevents the plunger rod from falling out, and a protective cap (6) for ...

Dispersible, doped coforms of barium titanate are substantially spherical, intimately mixed on a particle size scale and submicron with narrow particle size distributions. The primary particle size of the doped coforms is in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 microns. The amount of dopant oxide or oxides contained in the coform ranges from greater than zero to 10 percent. Regardless of the dopant or dopants...

Microcrystalline boehmite suitable for conversion to anhydrous alumina products is produced by hydrothermal treatment of precursor alumina raw material at controlled pH and in the presence of microcrystalline boehmite seed material. Reaction mix may include submicron seed material for seeding for later conversion of the microcrystalline boehmite to alpha alumina. Removal of metal cations by ion ex...

The invention provides compounds of the general formula (I) and physiologically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, wherein Q represents a chlorine atom or a trifluoromethyl group; X represents a bond, or a C1-6alkylene, C2-6alkenylene or C2-6alkynylene chain, and Y represents a bond, or a C1-6alkylene, C2-6alkenylene or C2-6alkynylene chain with the proviso that the sum total or carbo...

Articulated overhead gate consisting of a series of adjacent and interarticulated panels with their sides facing one another, characterized in that the side of each panel that is uppermost in gate-closed state and faces a preceding panel has a curved surface that is convex in vertical section and the side that is lowermost and faces a subsequent panel has a curved surface that is concave in vertic...
