| 20110251461 | PROGRESSIVE SURGICAL DISTRACTION DEVICE FOR ATRAUMATIC ACCESS - Progressive Surgical Distraction Device (PSDD) intended for enabling gradual atraumatic access to cavities and zones inside the human body and for allowing controlled extraction of the liquids contained therein, particularly open foetal surgery and neurosurgery. It is composed of a set of cylindrical and semi-cylindrical parts of increasing diameters and decreasing lengths that fit into each other telescopically, each enabling the successive extraction of the inner part. The progressive distraction of the muscular fibres does not subject them to traction, avoids haemorrhages and allows the controlled diversion of liquids without accumulation of residues. The last part of the sequence is designed to allow an optimum mobilisation of the clamping system via directly viewed control of the intervention zone and surgical field. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110250236 | STEM CELLS DERIVED FROM THE CAROTID BODY AND USES THEREOF - Adult stem cells obtained from the carotid body, characterized in that they are positive for the phenotypic marker GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) and negative for the phenotypic markers TH (tyrosine hydroxylase) and nestin, are described. These stem cells can undergo proliferation, self-renewal and differentiation to progenitor cells and differentiated cells. Said stem cells, progenitor cells and differentiated cells, expanded by any method, can be used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20100086648 | CARAMELS WITH HIGH CONTENT IN PREBIOTIC OLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROCEDURE OF PREPARATION AND USE - The present invention relates to the transformation of food-grade sugars containing D-fructose, in caramels enriched in oligosaccharides with prebiotic activity by using solid acid catalysts, such as zeolites, clays or ion-exchange resins in its acid form, under heterogeneous conditions, or by using soluble acid polymer catalysts of high molecular weight, under homogeneous conditions, with the possibility of recycling the catalyst, being compatible with discontinuous or continuous production processes. The resulting caramel exhibits prebiotic properties, favoring the development of a beneficial intestinal flora and a repairing effect in the damaged colon. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20090309244 | PROCEDURE AND DEVICE OF HIGH EFFICIENCY FOR THE GENERATION OF DROPS AND BUBBLES - The invention relates to a method and device for generating drops or bubbles in liquids with a range of sizes which, under normal pressure and temperature conditions, can vary from hundreds of micrometres to several millimetres. When the liquid or gas to be dispersed is passed through small holes which open into a transverse current, menisci are formed, from which small drops or bubbles emanate. The fraction of energy used in the process, which takes the form of an increase in the surface of the liquid/liquid or liquid/gas interfaces, must be maximised in relation to the energy transferred to the system in order to render the generation of drops or bubbles as efficient as possible. The device can be used in the fields of oxygenation and aeration of liquids, chemical engineering and food technology. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090264540 | NOVEL DERIVATIVES OF CYCLODEXTRINS, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND THEIR USE IN PARTICULAR FOR SOLUBILIZING PHARMACOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES - The invention relates to a compound corresponding to general formula (I) wherein n is a whole number from 1-6, m is a whole number equal to 5, 6 or 7, R | 10-22-2009 |
