Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tray for foodstuffs, comprising, in this order: a first inner polymer layer, a second polymer layer and an outer aluminium layer, the first inner polymer layer having a thickness in a range from 200 - 400 μm, the second polymer layer having a thickness in a range from 20 - 40 μm and the outer aluminium layer having a thickness in a range from 40 - 80 μm.
Abstract:
The invention consists of two parts. The first part is a lift made of four columns placed at the corners of the patient's bed. Connected to the columns, a bed made of a net of intersecting threads placed between the patient and the bed and are used to carry the patient in the sleeping position over the bed. The second part is a bath tub and a moving cleaning system on suitable moving equipments that can be easily moved to be inserted above the patients bed or below the patient via the aforementioned net. The patient is brought down to be cleaned in the bath tub using the crane.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a implant for implantation into a body of an animal, wherein the implant comprises material of inner core of drupes and/or palm tree fruits.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a (first) method for producing inducible and/or repressible expression active linear RNA interference constructs comprising a PCR amplification of a source polynucleotide comprising the inhibitory RNA coding sequence of interest or comprising a PCR amplification of a DNA source comprising a promoter using a reverse primer comprising the inhibitory RNA coding sequence of interest. The present invention furthermore relates to a (second) method for producing inducible and/or repressible expression active linear gene constructs comprising a PCR amplification of a source expression polynucleotide comprising a promoter sequence and the DNA sequence of interest or comprising a PCR amplification using the DNA sequence as a template. The present invention furthermore relates to libraries, arrays, cells and cell lines and kits utilizing the inducible and/or repressible expression active linear RNA interference constructs or the inducible and/or repressible expression active linear gene constructs.
Abstract:
The main objective of the present invention is to obtain a vaccine against the Chagas disease, capable of stimulating the immune response against the trans- sialidase virulence factor of the Trypanosoma Cruzi parasite, distinguished by the fact that said vaccine comprises a multicomponent vaccine for the Chagas disease (tripanosomiasis americana) distinguished by the fact that it comprises: (a) an immunogenic portion formed by one or more recombinant or synthetic polypeptides or fractions of thereof and (b) one or more polynucleotides including the regions that codifying one or more immunogenic polypeptides, both portions for the Trypanosoma Cruzi derivates (i.e., T. Cruzi and or a conserved region common to many of them) where the vaccine administration is a protection against the parasite infection, eliminates it or reduces the clinical consequences of said infection. Another objective of the present invention is a monocomponent vaccine against the Chagas disease comprising at least one component selected among an immunogenic portion formed by one or more recombinant or synthetic polypeptides or fractions of them and a group of polynucleotides including the regions that codifying one or more immunogenic polypeptides derived from Trypanosoma Cruzi (i.e. a T. Cruzi and /or a conserved region common to many of them) where the immunogenic portion or the polynucleotides group stimulates an antibody response, of CD4+ Th1 biased T cells or CD8+ T cells against the Trypanosoma Cruzi. This invention also includes: the pharmaceutical compositions containing said multicomponent and monocomponent vaccines, the procedures for obtaining the immunogen portion of said vaccines and the nucleic acid used in the procedure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an aqueous solvent and a conjugate of at least one hydrophilic polymer having a primary amine functional group, a derivative or monomer thereof and at least one acidic drug; a method for its preparation and use thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical formulation comprising at least one hydrophilic water-soluble superdisintegrating oligo-polymer having a molecular weight in the range of 200-3000 Da and having from 3 to 20 monomeric repeating units forming the oligo-polymer as matrix and at least one active agent dispersed throughout the matrix, wherein the oligo-polymer simultaneously dissolves and disintegrates in a liquid.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to positively charged water-soluble chitosan, preferably chitosan oligosaccharide, used as a membrane-blocking agent in the manufacture of a rapid immunochromatographic test device.
Abstract:
