The present invention provides controlled release formulations comprising Drotaverine or salt thereof or similar active agents which are prone to oxidative/hydrolytic degradation. The invention provides once or twice a day controlled release formulations of Drotaverine or salt thereof which avoids fluctuations of plasma levels, reduces pill burden and side effects owing to simplified dosage schedule, thereby improving patient compliance. The invention also provides methods of preparation of controlled release formulations of Drotaverine or salt thereof. The invention further provides controlled-release formulations of Drotaverine or salt thereof for treating at least one symptom of gastrointestinal, biliary, urological and gynecological disorders characterized by spastic conditions of smooth muscles in a subject.

Provided herein are methods of using human placental stem cells in the treatment of subjects having acute kidney injury (AKI).

The present invention relates to Tri-Specific Binding Molecules, which are multi-chain polypeptide molecules that possess three Binding Domains and are thus capable of mediating coordinated binding to three epitopes. The Tri-Specific Binding Molecule is preferably characterized in possessing binding domains that permit it to immunospecifically bind to: (1) an epitope of a first Cancer Antigen, (2) an epitope of a second Cancer Antigen, and (3) an epitope of a molecule that is expressed on the surface of an immune system effector cell, and are thus capable of localizing an immune system effector cell to a cell that expresses a Cancer Antigen, so as to thereby facilitate the killing of such cancer cell.

Methods of treating cancer with antibodies that bind colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) in combination with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are provided.

The present invention relates to a neuromodulation apparatus and methods of using the neuromodulation apparatus for treating bladder dysfunction.
