The present invention is a prosthetic for replacement of at least a part of the nucleus of a intravertebral disc. The prosthetic device is composed of at least two essentially parallel soft layers of an elastically deformable hydrogel and at least one rigid layer, the rigid layer having less compressibility than the soft layers, being adjacent to the soft layers, parallel to them, and firmly attached to them. In some embodiments, the soft layers have the same thickness and composition. Typically, the prosthesis has more than one rigid layer and these rigid layers have the same thickness and composition. The number of soft layers is usually one more than the number of rigid layers, with, e.g., at least three soft layers.

A silicone hydrogel formulation may contains random and / or block copolymers or oligomers or macromers. The silicone copolymer is copolymerized or blended with other polymers or monomers or macromers to obtain final formulation. The silicone hydrogel may contain crosslinking groups to provide a complete or partially crosslinked final structure. The silicone hydrogel formulation may be pre-formed as a film or other structure, or it may be polymerized during application as in the case of an adhesive formulation. A wound dressing comprising a silicone hydrogel formed as a film, either prior to application to a wound or in situ on a wound, which film has gas permeability, moisture permeability, and high water content, wherein said silicone hydrogel is formed from a polymerizable silicone such as a difunctional polydimethylsiloxane methacrylate and crosslinking agents such as N,N-dimethyllacrylamide (DMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and trimethylsiloxy silane (TRIS).

A dough that can bake to form a bread product having a homebaked taste, aroma, freshness, attractive browned character and pleasing crispness of a homemade bread. The product can be obtained by baking the dough in a microwave oven without the time, bother and mess of preparing a leavened dough and baking the dough in a thermal or convection oven. The product can include bread products including breads rolls, etc. The invention relates to a crust that can be combined with a topping or filling to form a baked product. Such products include such items as a pizza, meat pie, fruit pie etc. suitable for baking in a microwave oven. The crust has a unique formulation that ensures a high quality product. Further, the unique formulation provides a crust that forms a well-raised, attractive browned crust even in combination with substantial quantities of fillings having large amounts of water and other components. The crust, combined with an appropriately sized susceptor layer, can be heated in a microwave to result in a crust containing food that is substantially equivalent to freshly made crusts.
