The present invention provides a composition, a dairy product, and a method for treating a disorder in a subject. The composition includes (i) polymeric nanoparticles and (ii) camel derived glycosaminoglycans (GAG)s ionic complex encapsulated into the nanoparticles, at least one active ingredient encapsulated into the nanoparticles, or combinations thereof. The nanoparticles are lactoferrin nanoparticles including camel derived lactoferrin, casein nanoparticles including camel derived casein, or combinations thereof. The dairy product includes ice cream or frozen yogurt, wherein the ice cream or frozen yogurt includes the composition and is derived from camel milk or other species of milk. The method for treating a disorder in a subject includes administering a therapeutic dose of the composition to the subject.

Disclosed herein are methods of treating moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma in a patient comprising administering a therapeutically effective dose of reslizumab to a patient whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with a current asthma therapeutic and wherein the patient's blood eosinophil levels are equal to or greater than 400/μL.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a combination of triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) compared with TRIAC, DHEA or placebo alone on corticosteroid induced effect on collagen synthesis in humans. Six healthy male human volunteers aged 40-65 participated. Four areas of abdominal skin were pre-treated for 3 weeks with betamethasone valerate cream. The same areas were then treated with one of the following alternatives in the same cream vehicle: TRIAC, DHEA, TRIAC+DHEA and placebo for 2 weeks. Then suction blisters were raised in each of these areas with a vacuum pump. The blister fluid from each area was collected and frozen until analysis. Analysis of amino terminal propeptide of human type I procollagen (PINP) in suction blister fluid was performed using a commercially available immunoassay (Orion Diagnostics) kit. This study has for the first time shown that a combination of TRIAC and DHEA could effectively stimulate collagen synthesis in skin pretreated with betamethasone valerate demonstrated by an increase in PINP, and that the combination was more effective than TRIAC or DHEA alone. This combination could be used to effectively treat skin atrophy in corticosteroid induced skin atrophy. It could also be used to treat skin atrophy due to other circumstances such as e. g. sun damaged skin and skin atrophy due to high age. Another interesting application would be to combine TRIAC and DHEA with a potent corticosteroid in order to prevent corticosteroid induced skin atrophy. If this combination still is effective in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis and without the risk of skin atrophy this combination will be a major breakthrough for the use of potent topical corticosteroids.

The present invention features novel cosmetic skin care compositions for improving the appearance of skin, particularly the reducing the appearance of age spots and discoloration.

This invention concerns the use of cyclopamine, a naturally occurring steroidal alkaloid known for over thirty years, for the treatment of psoriasis and achievement of rapid clearance of the psoriatic skin lesions together with the reversion of the histopathological signs of disease to normalcy with no detectable side effects. The cyclopamine-induced clearance of psoriatic lesions from the skin of patients is associated with the causation of cellular differentiation in lesional epidermis and with the rapid disappearance of CD4(+) lymphocytes and other inflammatory cells from lesional skin. Therapeutic compositions comprising of cyclopamine and a corticosteroid and/or the pre-treatment of lesions with a corticosteroid provide significantly further increased therapeutic effectiveness over the use of cyclopamine alone or a corticosteroid alone.
