COMPOSITION MODULATING BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN EFFECT
The present invention relates to a method for modulating the effect of a botulinum neurotoxin composition, that is accelerating the onset of action and/or extending the duration of action and/or enhancing the intensity of action of a botulinum neurotoxin composition, comprising adding at least one postsynaptic inhibitor of cholinergic neuronal transmission to the botulinum neurotoxin composition. The invention also relates to compositions comprising at least one postsynaptic inhibitor of cholinergic neuronal transmission and a botulinum neurotoxin, and their uses for treating aesthetic or therapeutic conditions.
THROMBIN C-TERMINAL PEPTIDES TO TREAT CORONA VIRAL INFECTIONS
The present invention relates to TCP peptides for use in methods of treatment of S protein viruses. Notably, said TCP peptides are useful for treatment of inflammation associated with infection by S protein virus. The invention also provides methods for predicting the severity of infection by S protein virus.
FLUID GEL COMPOSITIONS
Disclosed are methods for forming shear-thinning fluid gel compositions comprising a microgel particle-forming polymer dispersed in an aqueous medium. The viscosity of the fluid gel compositions reduces when the gel is exposed to shear. Also disclosed are shear-thinning fluid gel compositions obtained by such methods, and medical uses of such compositions.
TREATMENT OF POST-OPERATIVE SURGICAL PAIN
The present invention relates to a clostridial neurotoxin for use in treating post-operative surgical pain in a patient, said method comprising administering to a patient a clostridial neurotoxin more than 5 days prior to surgery and wherein the clostridial neurotoxin is administered: i) intradermally; or ii) intrathecally.
Also provided are corresponding methods of treatment and administration dosages of a clostridial neurotoxin.
Methods and compositions for treating cutaneous fungal infections
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of dermatophytic conditions such as tinea pedis. Such conditions can progress through multiple stages, such as fungal and bacterial stages, making effective treatment results difficult to achieve. The invention relates to a combined therapy effective for treatment of the condition that utilizes daily administration of a balanced combination of antifungals, antiperspirants and drying agents to achieve a beneficial therapeutic effect, irrespective of the stage of the disease upon commencement of the treatment.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS RELATING TO ANTIVIRAL THERAPEUTICS
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods related to antiviral therapeutics. In particular, the present disclosure provides novel compositions and methods for treating and/or preventing viral infections using vesicles derived from lung spheroid cells (LSCs). LSC-derived vesicles can be used as viral decoy nanoparticles for therapeutic applications, as virus-like particles (VLPs) for vaccine production, and as an antiviral drug delivery platform.
TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
A method for treating chronic kidney disease, or other renal conditions that has resulted in chronic low-grade activation of the cytokine system in a patient that is in need. Thereof comprising administering botulinum toxin to mitigate the inflammatory state in the kidney. A method of treating acute kidney disease that has resulted from an acute activation of the cytokine system in a patient in need thereof comprising administering nitrous oxide or any inhaled anesthetic in amounts, concentrations, and durations needed to control cytokines and mitigate further damage to healthy kidney tissue.
TREATMENT OF DIABETES AND CHRONIC PANCREATITIS USING BOTULINUM TOXIN
A method for treating chronic pancreatitis and diabetes type II in a patient in need thereof comprises administering botulinum toxin to the patient. The botulinum toxin may be administered by subcutaneous or intradermal injection. The subcutaneous or intradermal injection may be administered to and/or around the vicinity of a trigeminal nerve, a cervical nerve, a thoracic nerve, a lumbar nerve, a sacral nerve, or a combination thereof.
CONDITIONING REGIMEN FOR TRANSPLANT
The present invention relates to a conditioning regimen for the transplant of a cell, tissue or organ, optionally hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells, to a subject. The invention also relates to methods for the induction of hematopoietic chimerism in a subject. The invention also relates to methods for the prevention or treatment of a disease or condition in a subject, in which hematopoietic chimerism is induced in order to improve the benefit to the subject of a subsequent therapy. The subsequent therapy may be a cell, tissue or organ transplant or may a gene therapy administered using genetically modified hematopoietic stem cells/progenitor cells.
INJECTABLE BOTULINUM TOXIN METHOS FOR TREATING HEADACHES
Provided is an invention based on methods to treat or prevent headaches with injectable compositions comprising botulinum toxin that may be administered using an injection paradigm that provides botulinum toxin at one or more locations of neuronal activity associated with EEG detectable brain cortical electrical activity to a subject suffering from such malady. Co-therapuetics therewith are also disclosed.
