Dry powder formulations for inhalation containing a combination of an anticholinergic, a long-acting beta.sub.2-adrenoceptor agonist, and a corticosteroid are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of an inflammatory and/or obstructive airways disease.

Synthetic cannabinoid compounds for treatment of epilepsy, substance addiction, and Alzheimer's disease by administering to an individual in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including a compound having the structure: ##STR00001##
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle therefor.

The present invention covers combinations of at least two components, component A and component B, comprising component A being an ATR kinase inhibitor, particularly Compound A, and component B being a PARP inhibitor, such as olaparib. Another aspect of the present invention covers the use of such combinations as described herein for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease, particurlarly for the treatment of a hyper-proliferative disease.

The present invention provides a method for removing antinutrients from turmeric spice. The antinutrient such as oxalic acid is removed by using the method of present invention and thus the toxicity associated with it is also eliminated. The method includes preparing the turmeric powder and repetitively extracting the turmeric powder with inorganic acid. The turmeric powder is stirred in a pre-defined volume and pre-determined concentration of the inorganic acid for pre-defined time with constant agitation at pre-determined temperature to obtain a turmeric paste. The turmeric paste is then washed with water and dried to obtain the purified turmeric powder.

It is an object to provide a therapeutic material for a skin ulcer which has excellent therapeutic effects on intractable skin ulcers such as decubitus ulcers with pockets and huge decubitus ulcers. By applying the therapeutic material for decubitus ulcers consisting of a fibrous material holding an antibiotic and a cell proliferation accelerator therein which is formed into an approximately spherical shape to a site of decubitus in a state in which a defect extending to the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle or bone occurs, it is possible to treat critical skin ulcers such as intractable decubitus ulcers with pockets and huge intractable decubitus ulcers, as well as to treat not only relatively mild decubitus classified as stage II according to the US National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) staging system, i.e., decubitus having ulcers in a state in which a part of the dermis is deficient, but also severe decubitus that has progressed to stage III to IV according to the NPUAP staging system, particularly decubitus with intractable ulcers with pockets or decubitus with huge intractable ulcers.

The present invention relates to Bifidobacterium breve deposited as DSM 32356 and compositions comprising said strain. The composition may further comprise at least one other bacterial strain and/or at least one compound which may be an NSAID such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). In a presently preferred embodiment the invention relates to Bifidobacterium breve deposited as DSM 32356 for use in the support of the defense against intestinal tissue damage such as intestinal mucosal breaks or lesions e.g. in connection with NSAID administration such as in connection with administration of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The invention further provides a method of supporting the defense against intestinal tissue damage, the method comprising administering the Bifidobacterium breve strain deposited as DSM 32356 to a subject in need thereof, e.g. to a subject in need of NSAID treatment.
