The invention provides devices and methods for adjusting particle size in nanoemulsions of fluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons (e.g., perfluoropentane and perfluorohexane) via sonication (e.g., ultrasonication).

The invention provides a delayed release dosage form and a bolus configured for administration to an animal, wherein said dosage form and said bolus is configured to release a hydrophobic substance to the animal over a period of time. Preferably the hydrophobic substance is a haloform. Also provided is the use of the delayed release dosage form or bolus of the invention to reduce methane production in a ruminant animal. Also provided is the method of manufacturing a bolus of the invention.

The invention provides novel compositions of fluorocarbon nanoemulsions comprising one or more of fluorosurfactants and phospholipids, and methods of preparation and use thereof for enhanced oxygen delivery.

Disclosed are pharmaceutical formulations and methods using Verteporfin Ribavirin and/or Gemcitabine for use in the treatment of diseases by various routes of administration including inhalation, intratumoral, topical and/or systemic injection administration. This invention relates more specifically to the use of Verteporfin, Ribavirin, Gemcitabine, and/or combinations thereof as an inhaled dry powder treatment for COVID-19 and/or other lung infections, cancer and other non-cancer applications, which may be followed by other treatment regimens including radiation therapy, photodynamic therapy, and/or sonodynamic therapy. These pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of Verteporfin, Ribavirin, and Gemcitabine may be included in pharmaceutical kits containing the compositions, and to methods for the treatment of cancer and non-cancer diseases with the active agents of the pharmaceutical compositions. The administering of Verteporfin alone or in combination with Ribavirin and Gemcitabine may be followed or co-administered with photodynamic and/or sonodynamic therapy (PDT/SDT).

The present invention provides methods for determining the selectivity of an anesthetic for an anesthetic-sensitive receptor by determining the molar water solubility of the anesthetic. The invention further provides methods for modulating the selectivity of an anesthetic for an anesthetic-sensitive receptor by altering or modifying the anesthetic to have higher or lower water solubility. The invention further provides methods of inducing anesthesia in a subject by administering via the respiratory pathways (e.g., via inhalational or pulmonary delivery) an effective amount of an anesthetic compound identified according to the present methods.
