Low dose therapeutic treatment
Some embodiments of the invention relate to a system for delivering to a subject at least one pre-determined amount of THC, the system comprising: a memory which stores a scheduled regimen for delivery of THC to the subject, the scheduled regimen defining: a maximal amount of THC to be delivered, the amount being 0.75 mg THC or less, and a time period within which that amount is delivered, the time period being 2 hours or longer; a decision module which decides, according to the scheduled regimen, if a delivery should take place; and an inhaler device for delivering THC to the subject, the inhaler device comprising a controller which carries out delivery of THC based on the decision made by the decision module.

Method of use for therapeutic bone agents
This invention relates to radioactive, bone-seeking, pharmaceutical compositions that are administered multiple times to a patient, have a lower impurity profile, a longer shelf life, and are less expensive to prepare.
ANTIGEN-BINDING MOLECULES AND USES THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to an antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds to nerve growth factor (NGF) and uses thereof.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR RELIEVING PAIN
The present invention provides a composition and its use in a unique treatment that provides pain relief for mammals. By treating an unconventional set of terminal nerve endings in an extremity (e.g., nerve endings that are generally found in the third plantar web space of the upper and lower extremities), pain in areas proximal to and/or at the root of the nerve can be treated. In several embodiments, these nerve endings are the terminal ends of nerves that emanate from the spinal cord and interconnect with other nerves to supply pain reception to the extremities. Treatment can occur with a variety of modalities to provide temporary and/or permanent pain relief in the unrelated distant part of the body (e.g., those areas closer to the root of the nerve).
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PEPTIDES AND COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE SAME
The present invention relates to a peptide with anti-inflammatory activity, wherein the peptide comprises SEQ ID NO: 1, the peptide has above 80% homology of amino acid sequence with above-mentioned sequence, or the peptide is the fragment of the above-mentioned peptides. The present invention also relates to an inflammatory composition comprising the above mentioned peptides. According to the present invention, a peptide comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 has outstanding efficacy in both suppressing inflammation and in prophylactic means. Therefore, the composition comprising the peptide of this invention can be used as anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical composition or as cosmetic composition, in turn, treating and preventing a variety of different types of inflammatory diseases.
Systems and methods for cardiac plexus neuromodulation
Methods, devices and systems are described for decreasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous innervation to and from the lungs and the vessels supplying the lungs to treat pulmonary medical conditions such as asthma. In one embodiment, the method may involve advancing an intravascular instrument to a target location in a blood vessel within the intercostal vasculature to ablate either or both the sympathetic afferent and efferent nerves lying within the paravertebral gutter including the visceral fibers that travel to the cardiothoracic cavity and abdominopelvic viscera and the T1 to T4/5 sympathetic chain. In another embodiment, an intravascular instrument may be advanced to the bronchial vessels to ablate either or both the sympathetic afferent and efferent nerves in and around the posterior pulmonary plexus. In one embodiment the ablative agent is a neurolytic agent delivered in a gel. This approach may be utilized to treat other cardiac and pulmonary diseases.

Extended relief dosage form
A dosage form with a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be an immediate release portion and can comprise a pain reliever, which can be naproxen or naproxen sodium. The second portion can be an extended release portion and can comprise pseudoephedrine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and/or dextromethorphan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The dosage form can optionally comprise a stabilizing agent. The dosage form can be adapted to maintain a therapeutically effective amount of pain reliever, pseudoephedrine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and/or dextromethorphan, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for at least eight hours.
5-HETEROARYL-PYRIDIN-2-AMINE COMPOUNDS AS NEUROPEPTIDE FF RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS
The present invention relates to novel aminopyridine derivatives of the general formula (I) and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, as well as their therapeutic use, particularly as neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptor antagonists, including, e.g., for the treatment or prevention of pain, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, or addiction.
