摘要:
Methods and kits for delivering pharmaceutical agents to the sinuses, sinus ostia, Eustachian tube, and pharynx are presented. A needle tip is translated through the mucosal tissue layer to a sub-epithelial or peri-luminal orientation and pharmaceutical agents are delivered into the sub-epithelial or peri-luminal tissue. Drugs distribute from the site of infusion to treat conditions including sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, among others.

The present invention is directed to a methods and compositions for enhancing the probability that a subject will become pregnant. The method comprises administering to a subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a linoleic acid active agent, e.g., linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid analog thereof, etc. Also provided are kits that find use in practicing the subject methods. The subject methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including but not limited to the treatment of infertility conditions.
摘要:
Methods are provided for treating a subject for a condition. In accordance with the subject methods, at least a portion of a subject's autonomic nervous system is modulated during at least one predetermined phase of the subject's menstrual cycle to alter the parasympathetic activity/sympathetic activity ratio in a manner that is effective to treat the subject for the condition. The subject methods find use in the treatment of a variety of different conditions, including various disease conditions, that increase in severity and/or occurrence during one or more phases of the menstrual cycle. Also provided are systems and kits for use in practicing the subject methods.
摘要:
Methods are provided for treating a subject for a condition caused by an abnormality in the subject's autonomic nervous system. In accordance with the subject methods, at least a portion of a subject's autonomic nervous system is pharmacologically modulated with at least one aldosterone antagonist in a manner that is effective to treat the subject for the condition. Also provided are systems and kits for use in practicing the subject methods.

摘要:
Methods and compositions for at least maintaining plasticity in a system of a subject are provided. Embodiments of the subject methods include lowering long term potentiation in said subject in a manner effective to at least maintain plasticity of a system in said subject.
摘要:
A harness for treating vessel aneurysms is disclosed. The harness applies elastic, compressive reinforcement on the aneurysm to reduce deleterious wall tension and to resist the shape change of the vessel. Rather than imposing a dimension beyond which the aneurysm cannot expand, the harness provides no hard limit over the range of systolic expansion of the vessel. Instead, the harness follows the contour of the vessel throughout systole and continuously exerts gentle resistance to stretch. Also disclosed is a method of delivering the vessel harness to the vessel with minimal invasion.
