20090088721Enhanced retinal delivery of a nucleic acid through iontophoresis - The present invention provides a device and a method for the enhanced retinal delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics utilizing iontophoresis to evoke a transient elongation of the Müller Cells of a mammalian eye. The enhanced retinal deposition can be achieved by either a topical application, subconjunctival, or an intravitreal injection of the nucleic acid composition followed by, preceded by, or administered simultaneously with the iontophoretic application. The present invention thus provides a particularly advantageous method for the treatment of ocular diseases comprising the in vivo administration of a nucleic acid capable of alleviating the symptoms of a disease, the delivery of the nucleic acid being enhanced by using iontophoresis. This method can be applied particularly to the diseases of the retina resulting from an alteration of a gene expression and/or the over-expression of particular growth factors. The diseases include, but are not limited to, human ocular retinopathies including, neovascular diseases (Age-Related Macular Edema, Diabetic Retinopathies, Diabetic Macular Edema, etc.) and inherited retinopathies such as retinitis pigmentosa.04-02-2009
20110098632DEVICE DELIVERING MEDICINES BY TRANSPALPEBRAL ELECTROPHORESIS - The invention concerns a device for ocular application of an active principle (04-28-2011
20110152749EYE INJECTION DEVICE - An injection device for injecting a product into an eye, said device comprising an injection needle and a support on which the injection needle is fixed, said device being characterized in that it comprises a locating mark disposed in such a way that the latter can be placed in contact with a defined bearing region of the surface of the eye, before any contact of the injection needle with said surface, and can then be kept in contact with said bearing region during a stage of penetration of said injection needle through said surface of the eye.06-23-2011

20100120171CIRCULATING VE-CADHERIN AS A PREDICTIVE MARKER OF SENSITIVITY OR RESISTANCE TO ANTI-TUMORAL TREATMENT AND IMPROVED METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF SOLUBLE PROTEINS - The application relates to improved means for the detection of soluble protein(s), such as soluble angiogenesis-related protein(s), more particularly circulating VE-cadherin. These means notably comprise the dilution of the fluid sample (e.g., serum or plasma sample), before submitting it to protein detection. Said dilution is advantageously diluted in a surfactant-containing solution. The improved means of the invention enabled to determine that circulating VE-cadherin is a reliable prognostic marker of the sensitivity or resistance to anti-tumoral treatment. It is believed that prior art sVE-cadherin detection means did not enable such determination.05-13-2010

20110209261 BABY TOY - An improved baby toy is described. The toy is a bib-shaped garment that may be adapted to be worn by a carer for a baby. The garment comprises a main portion that may cover the chest of the carer and neck portions that can be wrapped around the neck of the carer and detachably fastened at the back of the neck. The garment also includes one or more toy fixing structures that are integral to the main portion and that allow toys to be attached to the garment in a way that they can subsequently be removed, if required. There may also be a reflective element on the rear face of the main portion. In addition to being worn by the carer, the garment may alternatively be worn around the waist of the baby or be attached to an object such as a table, car window or cot rail.09-01-2011
