The modified anti-PSMA antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, have been rendered less immunogenic compared to their unmodified counterparts to a given species, e.g., a human. Pharmaceutical compositions including the aforesaid antibodies, nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors and host cells for making such antibodies and fragments are also disclosed. Methods of using the antibodies of the invention to detect human PSMA, or to ablate or kill a PSMA-expressing cell, e.g., a PSMA-expressing cancer or prostatic cell, either in vitro or in vivo, are also provided.

A highly compressible stent is described. The stent includes a plurality of circumferentially offset and interconnected undulating rings having intermediate struts disposed between at least some of the undulating ring struts.

The present invention describes systems and methods for treating disorders and/or conditions associated with the dermal level of the skin. Such disorders include acne, hyperhidrosis, bromhidrosis, chromhidrosis, rosacea, hair loss, dermal infection, and/or actinic keratosis. Methods generally involve administering nanoemulsions (e.g., nanoparticle compositions) comprising at least one therapeutic agent, such as botulinum toxin. In some embodiments, nanoemulsions are prepared, e.g., by high pressure microfluidization, and comprise a particle size distribution exclusively between 10 nm and 300 nm.

A porous formed article which comprises an organic polymer resin and an inorganic ion absorbing material, and has communicating pores opening at an outer surface, wherein it has cavities in the interior of a fibril forming a communicating pore, at least a part of said cavities opens at the surface of the fibril, and the inorganic ion absorbing material is carried on the outer surface of said fibril and on the surface of inner cavities.

The present disclosure provides methods of administering chimeric and hybrid Factor VIII (FVIII) polypeptides comprising FVIII and Fc to subjects at risk of developing inhibitory FVIII immune responses, including anti-FVIII antibodies and/or cell-mediated immunity. The administration is sufficient to promote coagulation and to induce immune tolerance to FVIII. The chimeric polypeptide can comprise full-length FVIII or a FVIII polypeptide containing a deletion, e.g., a full or partial deletion of the B domain.

A fosfomycin plus tobramycin combination formulation for delivery by aerosolization is described. The concentrated fosfomycin tobramycin combination formulation containing an efficacious amount of fosfomycin plus tobramycin is able to inhibit susceptible bacteria. Fosfomycin and tobramycin are formulated separately in a dual ampoule such that when reconstituted, the pH is between 4.5 and 8.0 or as a dry powder. The method for treatment of respiratory tract infections by a formulation delivered as an aerosol having mass medium average diameter predominantly between 1 to 5 μ, produced by a jet or ultrasonic nebulizer (or equivalent) or dry powder inhaler.

The present invention relates to combination therapies for heme malignancies with anti-CD38 antibodies and survivin inhibitors.

A rainwater treatment assembly (1) comprising a rainwater storage tank (2) and a treatment tank (3). Rainwater is delivered from the storage tank (3) where ozone is injected into it at regular time intervals. The ozone kills bacteria and oxidises transition metals.

Methods of treating multiple sclerosis and other disorders are disclosed.

The present invention relates generally to chemical agents useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of inflammatory conditions or in the amelioration of symptoms resulting from or facilitated by an inflammatory condition in a mammalian animal including human and primate, non-mammalian animal and avian species. More particularly, the present invention provides a chemical agent of the macrocyclic diterpene family obtaining from a member of the Euphorbiaceae family of plants or botanical or horticultural relatives thereof or derivatives or chemical analogues or chemically synthetic forms of the agents for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of an inflammatory condition or in the amelioration of symptoms resulting from or facilitated by an inflammatory condition in a mammal, animal or avian species. The present invention further contemplates a method for the prophylaxis or treatment of mammalian, animal or avian subjects for inflammatory conditions including chronic or transitory inflammatory conditions or for ameliorating. the symptoms of an inflammatory condition by the topical or systemic administration of a macrocyclic diterpene obtainable from a member of the Euphorbiaceae family or botanical or horticultural relatives thereof or a derivative, chemical analogue or chemically synthetic form of the agent. The chemical agent of the present invention may be in the form of a purified compound, mixture of compounds, a precursor form of one or more of the compounds capable of chemical transformation into a therapeutically active agent or be in the form of a chemical fraction, sub-fraction or preparation or extract of the plant.

The present invention relates to methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits for treating osteoarthritis associated pain, inflammation and improving function in a patient comprising a first therapeutic agent which comprises bicifadine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, solvate, hydrate, polymorph or prodrug thereof and a second therapeutic agent which comprises a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or derivative thereof.

PSMA binding FN3 domains, their conjugates, isolated nucleotides encoding the molecules, vectors, host cells, and methods of making thereof are useful in the generation of therapeutic molecules and treatment and diagnosis of diseases and disorders.

A method is provided for the remediation of contaminants in soil and groundwater. Via the injection of an aqueous energetic oxidant solution containing free radicals, oxidative conditions can be created within or ahead of a contaminant plume. Some contaminants may be remediated directly by reaction with the free radicals. Additionally and more importantly, the free radicals create an oxidative condition whereby native or injected materials, especially metals, are converted to peroxides. These peroxides provide a long-term oxygen reservoir, releasing oxygen relatively slowly over time. The oxygen can enhance microbial metabolism to remediate contaminants, can react with contaminant metals either to form immobile precipitants or to mobilize other metals to permit remediation through leaching techniques. Various injection strategies for injecting the energetic oxidant solution are also disclosed.

A mounting apparatus for bonding objects to each other, comprising a cleaning part (3) for cleaning at least the bonding surfaces of first objects (2a, 2b) and a bonding part (4) for bonding the cleaned first objects (2a, 2b) to a second object (2c), wherein both parts are connected to each other so that the objects can be conveyed between both parts, and an inverting mechanism (17) for turning over the first objects (2a, 2b) without touching the cleaned bonding surfaces is provided in the bonding part, whereby the cleaning of the bonding surfaces can be carried out efficiently, and a total time for a series of operations ranging from the cleaning to the completion of bonding can be shortened remarkably.

The present invention provides an intraocular implant comprising siRNA combined with a excipient effective to retard the initial release of the siRNA from an implant, wherein said siRNA and excipient is associated with a biocompatible polymer (e.g., a polymeric matrix), configured to release said siRNA into the eye of a patient at therapeutic levels for a time sufficient to treat an ocular condition or disease.
