Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of treating, preventing, suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the incidence of an Androgen Deficiency in Female (ADIF)-associated condition in a female subject, by administering to the subject a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) compound and/or its analog, derivative, isomer, metabolite, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutical product, hydrate, N-oxide, crystal, polymorph, prodrug, or any combination thereof. The present invention further provides a method of treating, preventing, suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the incidence of sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual libido, hypogonadism, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, alterations in cognition and mood, fatigue, depression, anemia, muscle weakness, hair loss, obesity, polycystic ovarian disease, endometriosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer due to ADIF in a female subject, by administering to the subject a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) compound and/or its analog, derivative, isomer, metabolite, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutical product, hydrate, N-oxide, crystal, polymorph, prodrug, or any combination thereof.
Abstract:
Novel chip compositions comprise alkylene glycol, benefit agent and thickening agent (e.g., fumed silica). Use of chips comprising excess of alkylene glycol over benefit agent and thickening agent has been found to allow significant deposition of benefit agent without compromising processing. In a second embodiment, the invention comprises bar compositions comprising mixtures of the chips of the invention and chips containing defined surfactant systems. A process for forming the chips of the invention and a method of enhancing deposition without compromising processing using the chips of the invention are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Broadly, the present invention is of an articulated light transmitting cover apparatus adapted to attach to an article with a display, the cover apparatus including a light transmitting planar cover that is adapted to be removably adjacent to the article display, the light transmitting cover having a cover lengthwise axis and a perpendicularly positioned cover crosswise axis, further the light transmitting cover has a cover primary margin and an opposing cover secondary margin with the cover lengthwise axis spanning therebetween, in addition the light transmitting cover has a cover initial end portion and an opposing cover subsequent end portion with the cover crosswise axis spanning therebetween.
Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring lung ventilation, comprising: a pressure device to measure volume of air flow; an aerosol-generating device that provides aerosol particles to be released at a determined point in a breathing cycle; a mouthpiece with a detector that measures the concentration of aerosol particles for a given volume during the breathing cycle; and a computing device configured to provide lung ventilation data as a function of time constants.

Abstract:
This invention provides use of a SARM compound or a composition comprising the same in treating a variety of diseases or conditions in a subject, including, inter-alia, a diabetes disease, and/or disorder such as cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular conditions, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic retinopathy.
Abstract:
A method of imparting a rapid antiviral effectiveness, and a persistent antiviral effectiveness, to an animate surface is disclosed. The method includes first treating the animate surface with a preconditioning composition, followed by treating the animate surface with an antiviral composition.
Abstract:
A virtual wire assembly is disclosed. The assembly comprises a substantially electrically-nonconductive substrate; and a plurality of hermetic feedthroughs each comprising a conductive region extending transversely through the substrate to form a conductive pathway with accessible surfaces at opposing ends thereof, wherein each conductive pathway is electrically isolated from other conductive pathways. In certain embodiments of this aspect of the invention, the substantially electrically-nonconductive substrate is a semiconductor device, and the conductive regions each are comprised of an n-type or a p-type doped semiconductor material. Also disclosed are implanted medical devices requiring electronic or other components to be retained in a hermetic enclosure, such as cochlear and other sensory or neural prosthetic devices.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA) which demonstrate androgenic and anabolic activity, which are nonsteroidal ligands for the androgen receptor. The selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM) are useful for a) male contraception; b) treatment of a variety of hormone-related conditions, for example conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Aging Male (ADAM), such as fatigue, depression, decreased libido, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism, osteoporosis, hair loss, anemia, obesity, sarcopenia, osteopenia,osteoporosis, benign prostate hyperplasia, alterations in mood and cognition and prostate cancer; c) treatment of conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Female (ADIF), such as sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual libido, hypogonadism, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, alterations in cognition and mood, depression, anemia, hair loss, obesity, endometriosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer; d) treatment and/or prevention of chronic muscular wasting; e) decreasing the incidence of, halting or causing a regression of prostate cancer; f) oral androgen relacement and/or other clinical therpauetic and/or diagnostic areas.
