Unique foamable vehicles or carriers comprising at least one wax, waxy substance, counterpart or derivative, a stabilizer, water, and a propellant are provided. In some embodiments, the wax is a liquid wax. In some embodiments, the wax includes a solid wax and a liquid wax. The compositions are substantially free of crystals. The components are selected to provide a composition that is substantially resistant to aging and to phase separation, and/or can substantially solubilize and or stabilize active ingredients. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions with potentially enhanced skin delivery and their uses are also provided.

Provided is a pharmaceutical composition for use in a method of preventing or treating a urinary tract infection (UTI), chronic cystitis, overactive bladder, partial bladder obstruction or urethritis, said composition comprising one or more oligomeric tannins, selected from proanthocyanidins and/or hydrolysable tannins, where in said method said composition is administered intraurethrally, intravesically, intraureterally and/or intrarenally, as well as a pharmaceutical composition for use in a method of preventing or treating bladder cancer, where in said method said composition is administered intravesically, said composition comprising one or more oligomeric tannins, selected from proanthocyanidins and/or hydrolysable tannins, wherein said tannins are bound to an anti-cancer agent and/or liposomes containing an anti-cancer agent, together with compositions related thereto.

The invention provides methods for the treatment of vaginal laxity which include delivering a cell-containing composition to the vagina. The composition can include fat tissue to provide a bulking effect to reduce the size of the vaginal opening. The cells can provide healing and revascularization of the vaginal treatment area to sustain the bulking provided by the fat. The invention also provides systems and compositions useful for performing the method, and can include instruments and devices for removal of autologous adipose tissue from a patient (e.g., by liposuction), equipment for the enrichment of cells from adipose tissue, mechanical processing of adipose tissue, and the mixing of cells and processed adipose tissue. Devices for the delivery of the cell compositions to the vagina can also be included in the system.

Described herein are certain crystalline forms of Compound 3, as well as pharmaceutical compositions employing the crystalline forms. Also provided are particles (e.g., nanoparticles) comprising such crystalline forms or pharmaceutical compositions. In certain examples, the particles are mucus penetrating particles (MPPs). The present invention further relates to methods of treating or preventing diseases using crystalline forms or pharmaceutical compositions.

The invention relates to medicine, namely, to the solutions used for hemostasis. The hemostatic agent, which represents a polyammonia methanediamine chloride of the general formula

##STR00001##

where: n=1-20, m=1-10, at that n×m≧8.

The hemostatic agent may be applied in the form of a 0.01-10% aqueous solution. An aqueous solution of the preparation can be used for impregnation of materials used for bleeding arrest, suture material, bandaging material. The hemostatic agent may be used in the composition of a retraction cord, adhesive pastes, vaginal and rectal suppositories, creams, gels, as well as used with microchips that provide slow release of the preparation. The preparation can also be used in eye drops, eye ointments, and lubricants applied to the surface of the catheter. The drug can be used in endodontic treatment, may be injected into a polymer sealer for root canal obturation, as well as locally—by means of electrophoresis. The hemostatic agent may be used in conjunction with a gel based on aluminum sulphate or silver solution, and also with a polysaccharide haemostatic system. An efficient haemostatic preparation ensuring a significant analgetic effect is developed.

Described are stable topical formulations useful in the treatment of viral wart infection, demodex infection and bacterial infection of the skin, and genitalia and the method of treating viral wart infection, demodex infection and bacterial infection of the skin, and genitalia with said compositions.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc region and an IL-7 fusion protein. Specifically, when a fusion protein comprising the immunoglobulin Fc region and IL-7 is administered to an affected area, a strong immune response is induced in the body and thus allows human papillomavirus-caused diseases to be prevented or treated.

A method of providing sustained-release topical treatment of a condition affecting an internal body cavity is provided. The method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a thermoreversible hydrogel and an active pharmaceutical ingredient to an internal body cavity of the urinary tract. After administration, the concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in urothelium of the internal body cavity is increased when compared to the concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in urothelium of the internal body cavity following administration of a control composition comprising the same dose and concentration of active pharmaceutical ingredient in water.

The invention provides safe and efficacious treatments for the improvement of male and female sexual function, cutaneous inflammation such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and Female Sexual Disorders, such as Genitopelvic Pain/Penetration Disorders; vulvovaginal atrophy, vestibulodynia, dyspareunia, Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder, low female libido and Female Orgasmic Disorder.

Provided are fused ring compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), or Formula (III), as further detailed herein, which are used for the inhibition of Ras proteins, as well as compositions comprising these compounds and methods treatment by their administration.
