摘要:
Certain benzopyran antiestrogens are disclosed for treating estrogen sensitive diseases such as breast cancer. Prodrug forms provide ease of manufacturing, good shelf life, and bioavailability, and preferred stereoisomers are shown to be more effective than racemic mixtures.
摘要:
Novel methods of medical treatment and/or inhibition of development of diseases are disclosed for diseases that are sensitive to androgenic or estrogenic activity. The treatments utilize inhibitors of type 5 and/or type 3 17&bgr;-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Novel inhibitors of type 5 17&bgr;-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are also disclosed, as are novel inhibitors of type 3 17&bgr;-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
摘要:
Novel methods for prevention, reduction or elimination of the incidence of male androgen deficiency symptoms or diseases including male hypogonadism-associated symptoms and diseases associated with low serum testosterone and/or low DHEA or low total androgens in susceptible warm-blooded animals including humans involving administration of an amount of a sex steroid precursor, particularly dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) (particularly acolbifene), an antiestrogen or a prodrug of the two. The symptoms or diseases are loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, tiredness, loss of energy, depression, bone loss, muscle loss, muscle weakness, fat accumulation, memory loss, cognition loss, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, loss of body hair, fertility problems, insomnia, gynecomastia, anemia, hot flushes, sweats, decreased sense of well-being, obesity, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Pharmaceutical compositions for delivery of active ingredient(s) and kit(s) useful to the invention are also disclosed.
摘要:
Compounds having the structure or their salts: are used to treat or reduce le likelihood of acquiring androgen-dependent diseases, such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, acne, hirsutism, seborrhea, androgenic alopecia and male baldness. They can be formulated together with pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier or otherwise made into any pharmaceutical dosage form. Some of these compounds having tissue-specific antiandrogenic activity and tissue-specific androgenic activity can be used to treat or reduce the risk of developing diseases related to loss of androgenic stimulation. Combinations with other active pharmaceutical agents are also disclosed.

摘要:
A collar (2) arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar (2) comprises a plate including a neck hole (4) to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar (2) further comprises a plurality of attachment portions (12) for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar (2) is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar (2), a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar (2) are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention provides a traffic-signalling device suitable for providing information to oncoming traffic. The traffic-signalling device comprises a moveable member suitable for attachment to a support and a solar powered drive system. The moveable member is operative to move between a first position and a second position, wherein in the second position the traffic-signalling device is operative to provide information to oncoming traffic. The solar-powered drive system is suitable for causing the moveable member to move between the first position and the second position.
摘要:
An implant (20), prosthesis and method of use are described. The implant comprises an articulation component (24) having a bearing surface (60) and a reverse surface (62) arranged to couple to a proximal neck portion (26) of an arthroplasty implant (22) coupled to a bone. A collar (28) is arranged to couple to the reverse surface of the articulation component. The collar defines a neck hole (70) arranged to pass around the coupling between the articulation component and the proximal neck portion of the arthroplasty implant. The collar and the articulation component comprise complementary coupling features to secure the collar to the articulation component. The collar further comprises a plurality of attachment portions (74) to couple the collar to bone fragments or soft tissues. The prosthesis comprises the implant and an arthroplasty implant having a distal portion arranged to be coupled to an end of a long bone and a proximal neck portion.
