20090253661 | OCULAR AGENTS - A method to reduce or ameliorate an ocular condition, such as ocular scarring that may occur after ocular surgery or another non-surgical ocular inflammatory or other condition, by topically administering doxycycline as the sole active agent to a patient in need thereof under conditions to reduce or ameliorate the ocular condition. | 10-08-2009 |
20090240149 | METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR HYPERTHERMALLY TREATING CELLS IN THE EYE WITH SIMULTANEOUS IMAGING - A method and composition for hyperthermally treating cells in the eye with simultaneous imaging. The heat (temperature) production inside the eye ( target) tissue is imaged. The desired temperature is achieved using a laser and photoacoustic imaging technique. Hyperthermia treatment of tissue in a target site applies a heat source to kill cells without protein denaturation. The method introduces an encapsulated dye that is released at a selected temperature in the target site to indicate that a threshold temperature has been reached to hyperthermally treat the tissue. In one embodiment, the composition releases the dye at a temperature of 42° C. to 50° C., and preferably about 45° C. to 49° C. The composition which can be a liposome composition encapsulating the dye can be introduced to the bloodstream of the patient to flow through the target site. | 09-24-2009 |
