The present invention is directed to a number of different derivatives of heparin and low molecular weight heparin. These include acetyl ester derivatives of heparin and ester derivatives of low molecular weight heparin which exhibit improved anti-Xa activity in relation to global anticlotting activity. Also disclosed are ester derivatives of heparin exhibiting low anti-Xa activity in relation to ...

Sheet material for making a water closet disposable article, such as a bag for body waste products, is unaffected by contact with water of neutral pH, but is degraded on contact with an alkali added to the pan of the water closet. The material may have a central layer of polyvinyl alcohol, an inner layer made up of at least two coatings of a blend of polyvinylidene chloride acrylonitrile copolymer...

Formulations consisting of phospholipid small unilamellar particles encapsulating polyene antifungal antibiotics and methods for using such compositions to treat systemic fungal infections are described. In a preferred embodiment, the particles are in the form of vesicles which comprise a polyene antifungal antibiotic, preferably amphotericin B and/or nystatin, egg phosphatidylcholine and choleste...

This invention provides a method for producing amylolytic enzymes by culturing a microorganism, having received as a result of recombinant DNA technology DNA sequences from a donor yeast comprising the coding sequences for the amylolytic enzymes wherein the host microorgamism is capable of expressing said amylolytic enzymes. Furthermore, this invention provides microorganisms genetically engineere...

The brake encapsulation system has a sealed bearing (11) on the shaft (1) emerging from the brake drum (2). A sealing cover (13) is fitted onto this bearing, there being sealing rings (12) between it, the drum and the bearing.

The movement of the stretching units (2,3) in the freed position is either towards or away from each other, or rotatable in relation to one another. - With these units work a spring component (10) which in the locked position causes the stretch units to move in either of the two ways as soon as the tractive tension in the lasher reduces to the point that it starts to slacken. Thus, they automatica...

Securing member 1 adapted for a cavity 2 and intended to be capable of interacting in a fixed but detachable manner with a number of wall portions belonging to the cavity, consisting of two end parts 1a, 1b, means 3 for guiding the end parts towards and away from each other, and one or more intermediate parts 4 which, by the displacement of the end parts, are caused to rotate towards and away from...
