Embodiments of the invention include topical compositions comprising silica fiber powder or dust and a topical carrier, for treatment of skin tissue. The silica fiber powder or dust may be generated from silica fiber mats that may be formed via electrospinning of a sol gel produced with a silicon alkoxide reagent, such as tetraethyl ortho silicate, alcohol solvent, and an acid catalyst.

This invention relates to a method of controlling the spread of dirofilariosis, such as for example heartworm, by administering to at least one non-human animal infested with filarioid nematodes such as Dirofilaria spp or susceptible to have been infested with filarioid nematodes such as Dirofilaria spp, an effective dose of a combination of a neonicotinoid compound and a pyrethroid compound.

Provided herein is a transdermal liquid formulation that includes a propionic acid-based non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, such as ketoprofen, and a dermal penetration enhancer containing an alcohol, an emollient and an essential oil. Methods of using and making the aforementioned transdermal liquid formulation are also provided herein.

Chlorine dioxide compositions and methods of using the chlorine dioxide compositions on animal skin are disclosed. The chlorine dioxide compositions are formed by mixing an acidic composition and a chlorite salt composition together. The acidic composition includes an acid and an aldehyde.

The invention describes a long-acting composition comprising a spiro-azetidine isoxazoline of Formula (1) or (2)

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1a, R.sup.1b, R.sup.1c and R.sup.2 are as described herein, and stereoisomers thereof. The composition is a veterinary composition and also comprises a glycol ether and at least one veterinarily acceptable solvent, and optionally, at least one precipitation inhibitor, antioxidant and additional veterinary agent, and any mixture thereof. The invention also includes a method of treating an animal with a parasitic infestation by administering the long-acting composition to the animal in need thereof.

The present disclosure relates to antisense oligonucleotides, which target CAMK2D mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of CAMK2D protein. Reduction of CAMK2D protein expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, e.g., cardiovascular-related diseases or disorders.

The present invention relates to various topical veterinary compositions comprising fipronil, an insect growth regulator, and a veterinarily acceptable carrier.

The present invention relates to a Myoviridae bacteriophage Vib-PAP-5 (accession number KCTC 13029BP) isolated from nature characterized by having a capability for specifically killing Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria and having a genome expressed by the SEQ ID NO:1, and to a method for preventing and treating infections from Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria by means of a composition comprising the Myoviridae bacteriophage Vib-PAP-5 as an active ingredient.

An implant for insertion through a punctum and into a canalicular lumen of a patient. The implant includes a matrix of material, a therapeutic agent dispersed in the matrix of material, a sheath disposed over a portion of the matrix of material and configured to inhibit the therapeutic agent from being released from the matrix of material into the canalicular lumen and to allow the therapeutic agent to be released from a surface of the matrix of material to a tear film, and a retention structure configured to retain the implant within the canalicular lumen.

Liquid veterinary pour-on or spot-on composition comprising at least one isoxazoline compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprising at least one dermal penetration 5 enhancer comprising menthol and a solvent system comprising a pyrrolidone solvent are disclosed. Methods for using and administering such preparation in the prevention and control of parasite infestations in livestock animals are also disclosed.
