The present invention relates to a topical composition containing a probiotic and hyaluronic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in the treatment and/or prevention of inflammatory bowel disease.

The present disclosure application relates to cannabis-containing compositions comprising at least one cannabinoid, provided in a gel formulation. The compositions may include cannabidiol. The source of the cannabidioid may be cannabis, a cannabis extract, or an industrial hemp oil extract. Methods of treating and/or reducing symptoms of an inflammatory response and/or inflammation are described, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof the disclosed compositions.

The present invention provides, among other things, effective methods and compositions for delivering messenger RNA (mRNA) via rectal delivery. The present invention is, in part, based on unexpected observation that mRNA may be effectively delivered to the circulation, liver, kidney, colon and/or rectum via rectal delivery despite the barriers such as RNase and mucus layer.

This disclosure features compositions comprising niclosamide for use in treating one or more conditions (or one or more symptoms thereof) characterized by an abnormal inflammatory response in one or more particular subject (e.g., patient) populations in need thereof. Such conditions include, e.g., an autoimmune disorder, e.g., colitis, e.g., autoimmune colitis, e.g, an inflammatory bowel disease, e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis. In some embodiments, the uses include rectally (e.g., via enema) administering niclosamide.

This invention provides a more efficient means for treating inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases using CO. More specifically, the invention provides a composition for preventing and/or treating inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, the composition comprising carbon monoxide and a solvent, the CO concentration being 800 μM or more.

A topical treatment for anorectal disorders with and without utilization of a contoured seat cushion with a temperature-adapted or electrical stimulation element that can provide hot or cold temperatures or electrical stimulation to the anorectal region.

The present invention relates to a capsule comprising a faecal composition for oral administration wherein the faecal composition comprises a stool fraction and a diluent, wherein the stool fraction comprises one or more non-pathogenic microorganisms, and wherein the diluent comprises a cryoprotectant resulting in a final concentration of cryoprotectant in the faecal composition below 8% (v/v) cryoprotectant.

Unique foamable vehicles or carriers comprising at least one wax, waxy substance, counterpart or derivative, a stabilizer, water, and a propellant are provided. In some embodiments, the wax is a liquid wax. In some embodiments, the wax includes a solid wax and a liquid wax. The compositions are substantially free of crystals. The components are selected to provide a composition that is substantially resistant to aging and to phase separation, and/or can substantially solubilize and or stabilize active ingredients. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions with potentially enhanced skin delivery and their uses are also provided.

The invention relates to medicine, namely, to the solutions used for hemostasis. The hemostatic agent, which represents a polyammonia methanediamine chloride of the general formula

##STR00001##

where: n=1-20, m=1-10, at that n×m≧8.

The hemostatic agent may be applied in the form of a 0.01-10% aqueous solution. An aqueous solution of the preparation can be used for impregnation of materials used for bleeding arrest, suture material, bandaging material. The hemostatic agent may be used in the composition of a retraction cord, adhesive pastes, vaginal and rectal suppositories, creams, gels, as well as used with microchips that provide slow release of the preparation. The preparation can also be used in eye drops, eye ointments, and lubricants applied to the surface of the catheter. The drug can be used in endodontic treatment, may be injected into a polymer sealer for root canal obturation, as well as locally—by means of electrophoresis. The hemostatic agent may be used in conjunction with a gel based on aluminum sulphate or silver solution, and also with a polysaccharide haemostatic system. An efficient haemostatic preparation ensuring a significant analgetic effect is developed.

Provided is a diagnostic drug for evaluating permeability of intestinal mucosa, including chitin and/or chitosan as a main component. The chitin and/or chitosan to be used preferably has a weight average molecular weight prepared to a range of from 1,000 to 11,600.
