Abstract:
Measurement of circulating ST2 and/or IL-33 concentrations is useful for the prognostic evaluation of subjects, in particular for the prediction of adverse clinical outcomes, e.g., mortality, and the detection of severe disease.
Abstract:
This invention relates to methods for the detection of cardiovascular disease, e.g., acute coronary syndrome, heart failure and/or pulmonary embolism, in high body mass index (BMI) individuals, e.g., with a BMI of 25-29, or 30 or above, and those with impaired renal function.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions, methods for lyophilizing compounds and making pharmaceutical compositions, and kits providing solutions and lyophilized formulations of compounds. The compositions, methods, and kits are particularly useful in pharmaceutical applications involving therapeutic agents that have low solubility at low pH and medium pH values. Certain embodiments provide methods for lyophilizing compounds in liquid solutions, which include the steps of: a) preparing aqueous solutions of a compound of interest in the absence of buffer; b) adjusting the pH to high values of pH in order to increase the solubility of the compound of interest; and c) freeze-drying the solution to provide a lyophilized solid composition. Aqueous solutions including buffer are also disclosed. Lyophilized formulations, including micronized and non-micronized powders, are provided.
Abstract:
The present invention is drawn to a transdermal patch for the delivery of a nitroglycerin or other NO donor. The patch can comprise a backing layer, and a nitroglycerin-containing composition or other NO donor-containing composition which is supported at least in part by the backing layer. The transdermal patch can have a drug delivery zone defined by the area where the composition contacts an intact human skin site, and the transdermal patch can be formulated to deliver a nitric oxide donor, such as nitroglycerin, at from about 5 μg/hour to about 70 μg/hour. In one embodiment, the transdermal patch can provide a delivery rate at the drug delivery zone of from about 1 μg/cm2/day to about 600 μg/cm2/day. In another embodiment, the transdermal patch can contain from 6 wt % to 18 wt % of the nitric oxide donor, e.g., nitroglycerin. In each embodiment, the patch can contain at least 450 μg/cm2 of nitroglycerin.
Abstract translation:本发明涉及用于递送硝酸甘油或其他NO供体的透皮贴片。 贴片可以包含背衬层和含硝酸甘油的组合物或其它含NO供体的组合物,其至少部分由背衬层支撑。 透皮贴剂可以具有由组合物接触完整的人皮肤部位的区域限定的药物递送区,并且透皮贴剂可以配制成以约5mug /小时至约约5ug /小时递送一氧化氮供体,例如硝酸甘油 70杯/小时。 在一个实施方案中,透皮贴剂可以在药物递送区域提供约1mug / cm 2 /天至约600mug / cm 2 /天的输送速率 。 在另一个实施方案中,透皮贴剂可含有6重量%至18重量%的一氧化氮供体,例如硝酸甘油。 在每个实施方案中,贴片可以含有至少450杯/平方厘米的硝酸甘油。
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for treating tendinopathy in the absence of inflammation by the transdermal administration of nitroglycerin. Such methods include methods for relieving pain associated with such tendinopathies, and the use of a transdermal patch configured to deliver glyceryl trinitrate at a rate of 5 mcg/hr to about 85 mcg/hr.
