Abstract:
The invention pertains to a process for the removal of liquid, gaseous and/or dissolved constituents from a process stream comprising the steps of a) contacting a process stream with a porous material having pores with an average diameter of 0.01 to 50 µm wherein an extraction liquid is immobilized; and b) subsequently contacting the resulting process stream with an adsorbent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to pharmaceutical preparations which are suitable for treating or curing viral infections, including influenza and immunodeficiency diseases such as retrovirus infections, including AIDS and AIDS-related diseases, and which can also be used to inhibit fusion of virus-infected cells with non-infected cells, which preparations contain modified proteins or polypeptides as active substance or substance contributing to the action or as carrier for other substances, which are also active, which modified proteins or polypeptides have acquired an additional net negative charge by derivatisation of their amino groups and/or other basic functional groups with a reagent which prevents protonation of basic amino acids and/or other basic functional groups or replaces said basic amino acids and/or other basic functional groups by one or more functional groups having a negative charge, and to modified proteins and polypeptides themselves and the preparation and use thereof.
Abstract:
Wall, floor or ceiling heating system for a home or office, consisting of a flexible heating line (5), arranged on a base in loops, for a heating medium, which flexible line is accommodated in panels (6) made of a suitable heat-conducting material. The assembly of panels and heating line is covered by a finishing layer (8). The invention is distinguished by the fact that the panels are of a thickness which is at least equal to the diameter of the heating line, the panels are provided along two opposite side edges with a groove (7), which accommodates at least part of the outer circumference of the heating line in such a manner that the heating line is held securely between panels adjoining one another, and that the panels support only the substantially straight part of the heating line.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a medicament for treatment and/or prevention of infections caused by bacteria, fungi, viri and the like, inflammations and/or tumors, said medicament comprising an active amount of a polycationic peptide or protein, and a buffer for maintaining the pH of treatable tissue within a preselected range.
Abstract:
The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions suitable for treating or curing clinical complications mediated by endotoxin, including sepsis. The compositions contain components suitable for detoxifying endotoxin rendering it less deleterious to mammals such as humans, in particular to patients with reduced host-defence resistance. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions suitable for stimulating bone formation, e.g. for mending broken bone or for prophylaxis or therapy of metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia and pharmaceutical compositions for decreasing or inhibiting undesired bone formation. The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are directed at modulating phosphatase activity in vivo.

Abstract:
The present invention describes stable water-in-oil emulsions comprising the following components: water, oil, a labile compound of interest, a stabilizing agent and an emulsifier. The labile compound present in the water phase is stabilized by addition of a stabilizing agent which preferably is a polyol. Specific emulsifiers are described which give rise to stable emulsions in the presence of high amounts of a polyol.
Abstract:
Use of alpha -hydroxy acids and poly- alpha -hydroxy acids as spacer between a therapeutically and/or diagnostically active compound and a soluble macromolecular carrier in pharmaceutical compositions having site-specific delivery. In one embodiment glycolic acid, L-lactic acid or tetra-L-lactic acid is used as spacer between a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substance and a carrier of low molecular protein (LMWP).
