Disclosed herein are cohesive soft tissue fillers, for example, dermal and subdermal fillers, based on hyaluronic acids and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In one aspect, hyaluronic acid-based compositions described herein include a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anesthetic agent, for example, lidocaine. The present hyaluronic acid-based compositions including lidocaine have an enhanced stability and cohesivity, relative to conventional compositions including lidocaine, for example when subjected to sterilization techniques or when stored for long periods of time. Methods and processes of preparing such hyaluronic acid-based compositions are also provided.

Disclosed is a cosmetic or dermatological preparation which comprises one or more extracts of Saxifraga oppositifolia (purple saxifrage) and/or one or more extracts of Soldanella alpina (alpine snowbell). The use of these extracts to combat extrinsic and intrinsic skin aging is likewise described.

Disclosed are nanoparticles comprising an end-modified poly(β-amino ester) and an additive that is a sugar or sugar derivative, such as a sugar, a sugar alcohol or chitosan. The nanoparticles may be used in any field where polymers have been found useful, including in medical fields, particularly in drug delivery. The polymers are useful in delivering a polynucleotide such as DNA, RNA or siRNA, a small molecule or a protein. Also disclosed are compositions comprising said nanoparticles and an active agent, methods for preparing said nanoparticles, said nanoparticles and compositions for use in medicine, and in vitro methods using said nanoparticles and compositions.

A gold particle having at least one cross-section in the range of 20-1000 μnm and having a purity greater than 99.00% w/w, preferably 99.99% w/w for use in treatment of a wound to minimize scar formation and to prevent abnormal scar formation. A composition comprising at least one gold particle having at least one cross-section in the range of 20-1000 μm and having a purity greater than 99.00% w/w, preferably 99.99% w/w for use in treatment of a wound to prevent abnormal scar formation, wherein the composition further comprises hyaluronic acid or any other physiologically acceptable carrier.

The present invention relates to a stable fixed dose aqueous pharmaceutical composition (e.g., contained in a container) for nasal administration to a human, comprising mometasone or its salt, olopatadine or its salt. The composition may further include a hydrocolloid. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the pharmaceutical composition, and the use of the pharmaceutical composition in the treatment of rhinitis in a subject.

Disclosed are aqueous pharmaceutical compositions which provide sustained released delivery of corticosteroid compounds. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a soluble corticosteroid and at least one viscosity enhancing agent. Also provided are methods for using the pharmaceutical compositions in an epidural injection, intra-articular injection, or an intra-lesional injection.
