Abstract:
Soft tissue implants (e.g., breast, pectoral, chin, facial, lip, and nasal implants) are used in combination with an anti-scarring drug combination in order to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the implant is placed within an animal.
Abstract:
The invention features a method for treating a patient diagnosed with, or at risk of developing, an immunoinflammatory disorder by administering to the patient a tetra-substituted pyrimidopyrimidine, either alone or in combination with one or more additional agents. The invention also features a composition containing a tetra-substituted pyrimidopyrimidine in combination with one or more additional agents.
Abstract:
Electrical devices (e.g., cardiac rhythm management and neurostimulation devices) for contact with tissue are used in combination with an anti-scarring drug combination or a composition that comprises an anti-scarring drug combination to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the devices are implanted within an animal.
Abstract:
The invention features a method for treating an immunoinflammatory administering a compound of formula (I), e.g., ibudilast or KC-764, alone or in combination with a corticosteroid, tetra-substituted pyrimidopyrimidine, or other compound. The invention also features pharmaceutical compositions including the combination above for the treatment or prevention of an immunoinflammatory disorder.
Abstract:
Pumps and sensors for contact with tissue are used in combination with an anti-scarring agent or a composition that comprises an anti-scarring agent to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the pumps and sensors are implanted within an animal.
Abstract:
The invention features a method for treating a patient diagnosed with, or at risk of developing, an immunoinflammatory disorder by administering an SSRI or analog or metabolite thereof and, optionally, a corticosteroid or other compound to the patient. The invention also features a pharmaceutical composition containing an SSRI or analog or metabolite thereof and a corticosteroid or other compound for the treatment or prevention of an immunoinflammatory disorder.
