Described herein is a cyclodextrin containing polymer conjugate.

The invention provides a bacterial composition which comprises from 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.12 cfu/g of Pediococcus pentosaceus cells which have the ability to induce the production of interleukin-10 to reduce inflammation in the intestinal tract among other features. Thus, the bacterial composition is useful in the amelioration of excessive crying in infants. Particularly, Pediococcus pentosaceus cells are from the strain deposited as CECT 8330. The bacterial composition can be in the form of a food supplement, a medicament, an infant formula, an edible product and a food product. Particularly, the composition is in the form of an infant food supplement in the form of oily suspension.

Delivery devices, systems, and methods related thereto may be used in humans for spinal delivery of cells, drugs or vectors. Thus, the system enables subpial delivery, which leads to a near complete spinal parenchymal AAV9-mediated gene expression or ASO distribution in both white and grey matter.

Described herein are nasal pharmaceutical compositions comprising a porous excipient and an active agent, wherein the active agent is loaded onto a surface of the porous excipient located inside pores of the porous excipient, and wherein the composition is adapted for nasal administration. Also described herein are methods of making and using nasal pharmaceutical compositions.

The invention discloses odor masking formulations for stench natural compounds, selected from the extracts, fraction and pure phytochemicals that are produced in combination with a natural or synthetic hydrocolloid polymer gum(s). The invention further discloses novel process of producing the odor and taste masking formulations. The invention also discloses taste masking formulations of valerian extracts with no characteristic stench odor & or negligible stench odor in combination with natural hydrocolloid gum such as guar gum, acacia or other polymers. The invention further discloses method of reducing insomnia, anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) using odor masking formulation of the current invention. Importantly, the said odor masked formulation of the present disclosure helps in improving sleep cycle and helps in efficient functioning of brain.

The present invention is drawn to novel topiramate compositions as well as methods for effecting weight loss, e.g., in the treatment of obesity and related conditions, including conditions associated with and/or caused by obesity per se. The present invention features an escalating dosing regimen adapted for the administration of topiramate and optionally a sympathomimetic agent such as phentermine or bupropion, in the treatment of obesity and related conditions.

An intravenous composition for providing relief for pain and/or inflammation, the composition having ibuprofen and paracetamol in combination for delivering to a human at each dose: a) approximately 125 mg to approximately 175 mg ibuprofen in combination with approximately 475 mg to approximately 525 mg paracetamol; or b) approximately 275 mg to approximately 325 mg ibuprofen in combination with approximately 975 mg to approximately 1,025 mg paracetamol.

Compositions for treating a sleep disorder or modifying or improving the sleep-wake cycle in a subject are disclosed herein. In some examples, the composition can comprise one or more sleep promoting active agents, one or more sleep quality active agents, one or more sleep recovery active agents, and optionally one or more next day active agents. The composition can provide an immediate burst release of the one or more sleep promoting active agents, a delayed burst or delayed sustained release of the one or more sleep quality active agents, a delayed burst or delayed sustained release of the one or more sleep recovery active agents, and a delayed burnt or delayed sustained release of the one or more next day active agents. The composition can be provided as a daily oral uni-dosage form. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

The disclosure provides methods for treating a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective dose of psilocybin. The methods described herein may be used to treat a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions. For example, the methods may be used to treat anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and headache disorders.
