| 20100179388 | Apparatus And Method For Diagnostic Leverage Testing Of Equine Distal Limb - The present invention includes a method and apparatus for diagnosing equine hoof and leg pathology. With the hoof to be diagnosed on the ground and in a load bearing position, sectors of the hoof are sequentially raised by application of a wedge to the bottom of the hoof where the wedge extends radially beneath the sector from the center of the hoof. Elevating a first sector of the foot stretches and adds tension to the connective tissue in the region diagonal to the sector that is elevated. At the same time, the joint surface and connective tissue in the region above the raised sector will be compressed during the elevating process. Following observation and measurement of the horse's response to the raising of the first sector, the foot sector diagonally opposite to the first sector is similarly raised and the horse's response is observed and measured. The discomfort or relief that is observed offers specific guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. The process is repeated for a plurality of sectors of the hoof. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20100323978 | Non-aqueous oil delivery system for ophthalmic drugs - The present invention relates to a delivery system for ophthalmic drugs, and more particularly, to a non aqueous oil delivery system. Low concentrations of ophthalmic drugs suspended in an oil vehicle delivery system are as therapeutically effective in man and animals as the corresponding higher concentrations of ophthalmic drugs that are commercially used in aqueous solutions. Eye drops that utilize this nonaqueous oil delivery system, when used in man, are comfortable to use and produce little ocular irritation, have a longer shelf-life, low systemic toxic potential, and only short term blurring of vision. Using this nonaqueous oil delivery system, a single drop of ophthalmic drug with a concentration that is 10 times less than the same drug used in commercially available aqueous eye drops is as effective as the commercially available aqueous ophthalmic eye drops that require many applications to be effective. In addition, utilizing the nonaqueous oil delivery system as eye drops produces no ocular sensation of burning, stinging or excessive tearing that is commonly associated with the commercially available aqueous eye drops. This very dilute ophthalmic drug preparation has a greatly reduced systemic toxicity potential as compared to the commercially used aqueous ophthalmic drops. The vehicle includes castor oil, corn oil, glycerol, mineral oil USP, vegetable oil, white petrolatum USP, and mixtures, there of. The ophthalmic class of drugs includes antimicrobials, miotics, mydriatics, mydriatic-cycloplegics, mydriatic-cycloplegic reversal agents and topical anesthetics. | 12-23-2010 |
