Abstract:
A composition including an enantiomerically stable R-NSAID or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the composition being substantially free of the S-enantiomer of the selected R-NSAID.
Abstract:
A target assembly to produce radioisotopes for the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals. The target assembly includes a target vessel with a target chamber adapted to receive a target material. A thin cover sheet of particle-permeable material covers the target chamber. In a bombardment process, a high-energy particle beam generated by a cyclotron or particle accelerator strikes the thin cover sheet, whereby at least some of the particles from the particle beam penetrate to the target chamber so as to interact with the target material, altering the nuclear makeup of some of the atoms in the target material to produce radioisotopes.
Abstract:
A method of hard-facing a steel casting is described in which a hard-facing, which comprises a weld alloy matrix and a hard particulate substance, is attached to the casting by welding. In some embodiments the matrix can be of a similar composition to the casting, and in other embodiments the hard particulates can be rounded and/or substantially spherical, or of a substantially even size. A method is also described for hardening and tempering a steel casting after attaching the hard-facing to the casting by welding. After hard-facing the casting is hardened and tempered by heat treatment. In one embodiment the hard-faced casting is heat treated by heating to a temperature in excess of the austenitising temperature of the steel and then cooled by quenching in an aqueous solution, followed by tempering. In one embodiment the steel casting is tempered at a temperature in the range about 550°C to about 700°C prior to hard-facing the casting.
Abstract:
A composition for use in preventing colorectal cancer and other neoplactic diseases includes an enantiomerically stable R-NSAID or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in an amount effective to elicit a chemoprotective effect. The composition is substantially free of the S-enantiomer of the R-NSAID. Therapeutic use of the composition is accompagnied by reduced adverse side effects.
