Abstract:
A method of treating pneumonia or other respiratory disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, or influenza virus by orally administering a liquid, preferably an infant formula, containing a virus neutralizing antibody.
Abstract:
A method is provided for inhibiting rotavirus infection of human cells by treating the rotavirus with a sulfated polysaccharide. Sulfated polysaccharides include carrageenan and dextran sulfate. The most effective agent in inhibiting cellular rotavirus infection is lambda-carrageenan, which may be formulated in a liquid and ingested enterally. A composition containing lambda-carrageenan is an aspect of the invention.
Abstract:
The attachment of H. influenzae to human cells, such as oropharyngeal cells, may be inhibited by native human beta -casein, a recombinant form of human beta -casein, and hydrolysates of both. The human beta -casein or hydrolysate may be contained in a liquid enteral nutritional product such as an infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used, for example, in the prevention and treatment of otitis media in infants. The human beta -casein or hydrolysate may also be administered as a throat spray or nasally using drops or a spray.
Abstract:
A product is provided for inhibiting the attachment of H. influenzae to human cells, such as pharyngeal cells, by contacting the bacilli with phosphorylated recombinant human beta -casein that have at least 3 phosphate groups. The product containing phosphorylated recombinant human beta -casein may be a liquid enteral nutritional product such as infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used for the prevention and treatment of otitis media in infants. The phosphorylated recombinant human beta -casein may also be administered as a throat spray or used in nose drops or a spray.
Abstract:
The infection of mammalian cells by RSV may be inhibited by native human beta -casein, a recombinant form of human beta -casein, and hydrolysates of both. The human beta -casein or hydrolysate may be contained in a liquid enteral nutritional product such as an infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used, for example, in the prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infection in infants. The human beta -casein or hydrolysate may also be administered as a throat spray or nasally using drops or a spray.
Abstract:
A product is provided for inhibiting the attachment of H. influenzae to human cells, such as pharyngeal cells, by contacting the bacilli with phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein that have at least 3 phosphate groups. The product containing phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein may be a liquid enteral nutritional product such as infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used for the prevention and treatment of otitis media in infants. The phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein may also be administered as a throat spray or used in nose drops or a spray.
Abstract:
A device for preparing drinking water in the form of a transportable table and travelling device with an interchangeable filter cartridge (24), a u/v lamp (25), an untreated water container (21) and a pure water container (28). The u/v lamp (25) is arranged above the open pure water container (28) and radiates directly thereinto. The u/v lamp (25), the filter cartridge (24) and the electrical components for operating the u/v lamp (25) or to control and monitor the device are combined into a structural unit which, during operation, is placed on the pure water container (28) and carries the preferably removable untreated water container (21) on its top. It is particularly easily transported if the unit (23) can be inserted into the untreated water container (21) and both components together can be inserted into the pure water container (28). The unit also has operating and indicating components to control the process and devices for preventing incorrect operation.
