Abstract:
A variable length nail is provided with at least 5 mm of axial length change in each direction. An external adjustment device having at least one rotatable magnet is placed in proximity to the patient's skin. The external adjustment device is operated so that a magnetic field of the at least one rotatable magnet of the external adjustment device causes the rotatable permanent magnet of the variable length nail to rotate, causing either extension or retraction of the distraction shaft relative to the housing. In another embodiment, a rotational correction system is provided in which the bone implant has first and second sections that rotate with respect to one another in response to a magnetic field applied by the external adjustment device. In this regard, rotational adjustment of two bone sections may be accomplished.

Abstract:
This invention concerns compositions for the treatment of urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary incontinence comprising (R)-N-[4-[2-[[2-hydroxy-2-(pyridin-3-yl)ethyl]amino]ethyl]phenyl]-4-[4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl]benzenesulfonamide and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In another aspect, this invention concerns combination therapy for urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary incontinence wherein one of the active agents is (R)-N-[4-[2-[[2-hydroxy-2-(pyridin-3-yl)ethyl]amino]ethyl]phenyl]-4-[4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl]benzenesulfonamide and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Abstract:
This invention concerns compositions for the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), and especially LUTS which results from benign prostatic hypertrophy. The compositions of the invention comprise a Beta-3 agonist described below, optionally in combination with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, or an NK-1 antagonist or an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist or an anti-muscarinic agent. The invention also includes compositions comprising a beta-3 agonist and two additional active agents selected from a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, an NK-1 antagonist, an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist or an anti-muscarinic agent.
Abstract:
This invention concerns compositions for the treatment of urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary incontinence comprising a selected antagonist of the NK-1 receptor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an anti-muscarinic agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This invention concerns combination therapy for urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary incontinence wherein one of the active agents is a selected antagonist of the NK-1 receptor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and another is an anti-muscarinic agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
