Abstract

A method for the prevention and/or treatment of post-operative cognitive dysfunction, which entails administering to a human or other mammal an effective amount of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of N-substituted 2(1H) pyridones, N-substituted 3(1H) pyridones and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of any one or more of the above pyridones, which are optionally further substituted at various available ring positions.

IPC Classes  ?

• A61M 21/00 - Other devices or methods to cause a change in the state of consciousnessDevices for producing or ending sleep by mechanical, optical, or acoustical means, e.g. for hypnosis
• A61K 31/4418 - Non-condensed pyridinesHydrogenated derivatives thereof having a carbocyclic ring directly attached to the heterocyclic ring, e.g. cyproheptadine
• A61P 25/28 - Drugs for disorders of the nervous system for treating neurodegenerative disorders of the central nervous system, e.g. nootropic agents, cognition enhancers, drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia

Abstract

An apparatus for enhancing the quality of a fluid, containing a plurality of vortex forming elements, each containing: a) a fixed swirler for imparting a centrifugal force on a moving fluid stream; and b) a porous matrix for capturing particles contained within said moving fluid stream and/or adding substances contained in said porous matrix to said moving fluid stream, wherein the vortex forming elements are disposed within the porous matrix.

IPC Classes  ?

• B04C 3/00 - Apparatus in which the axial direction of the vortex remains unchanged
• B01D 45/16 - Separating dispersed particles from gases or vapours by gravity, inertia, or centrifugal forces by centrifugal forces generated by the winding course of the gas stream
