Such compositions comprise keratolytic agents, such as salicylic acid, selenium disulfide, or the like. Topical administration of such compositions to the inner surface of the eyelid provides therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from contact lens discomfort (CLD) and/or lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE).

Embodiments of the disclosure provide sustained release formulations that include active ingredients and release modulating matrices. Also provided are related methods of preparation and methods of addressing therapeutic indications with sustained release formulations described herein. Included are sustained release formulations with complement inhibitors (e.g., C5 inhibitory cyclic polypeptides, zilucoplan, and/or active metabolites or variants thereof) for treating complement-related indications.

A nano-micelle preparation of icaritin. The preparation comprises icaritin and polymer auxiliary materials. Further provided is a preparation method for the nano-micelle preparation, and the prepared nano-micelle preparation of icaritin has the advantage of high bioavailability.

The present invention relates to methods of treating female reproductive tract irritation (such as pain and pruritus) or/and inflammation.

Described herein are synthetic progestogens, such as 6β,7β:15β,16β-Dimethylene-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. Also described are methods of use.

Disclosed herein are methods for treating or preventing ophthalmic and dermatologic conditions in a patient, including ocular surface conditions such as blepharitis. The methods can include topically administering directly to an ocular surface of one or more eyes of a patient in need of treatment thereof an effective amount of an isoxazoline parasiticide, formamidine parasiticide, or other active ingredient, formulated into an ophthalmic composition, the ophthalmic composition further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Compositions are also disclosed.

Described herein are synthetic progestogens, such as 6β,7β:15β,16β-Dimethylene-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. Also described are methods of use.

Provided herein are methods for treating sickle cell disease, comprising administering to a subject 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)-methoxy)benzaldehyde (Compound 1), or a polymorph thereof, in certain dosing regimens.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus and methods of use for isolating particles. An example apparatus includes (a) a vessel defining a pressurizable chamber, wherein the vessel includes a distal end and a proximal end, (b) an inlet of the pressurizable chamber at the proximal end of the vessel, (c) a nozzle positioned within the pressurizable chamber, wherein the nozzle includes an inlet tube in fluid communication with the inlet of the pressurizable chamber, wherein the nozzle includes an outlet aperture, wherein the nozzle is adjustable to alter a distance between the proximal end of the vessel and the outlet aperture of the nozzle, and wherein the nozzle is adjustable to alter an angle between a longitudinal axis of the vessel and a longitudinal axis of the nozzle, and (d) an outlet of the pressurizable chamber at the distal end of the vessel.

The present invention may provide a pharmaceutical composition for intraocular administration or oral administration, for preventing or treating a retinal disease (such as age-related macular degeneration), or suppressing a progression of the disease in a subject in need of treatment, the composition comprising an effective amount of one or more compounds selected from the following group, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; and a method therefor, a group consisting of apomorphine, eseroline, ethoxyquin, methyldopa, olanzapine and indapamide.
