The present invention provides compounds of the following structure, wherein R1-R9, R15, and n are defined herein.These compounds are useful in treating neurological disorders or complications due to stroke or head injury, and as neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agents.

An adjustable or custom-sized improved headband of uniform vertical height and thickness along its entire length that reduces the force of impact on the player's head and provides the player with better control in redirecting the ball.

The present invention provides compounds of the following structure, wherein R1, R2, R4, R4′, R6, R7, and R15 are defined above: These compounds are useful in treating neurological disorders or complications due to stroke or head injury; benign or malignant neoplastic disease, carcinomas and adenocarcinomas; proliferative disorders; and inflammatory disorders. The compounds are therefore useful as neuroprotective and neuroregenerative, anti-proliferative, and anti-inflammatory agents.

Disclosed is a protective helmet (6) and a method for mitigating or preventing a head injury, in which a shock-absorbing, or shock-absorbing and comfort-providing, inner wearing unit, which can comprise liners, comfort pads, protective pads, nubbed cages and / or strapped wearing units (for example spider-shaped wearing elements, wearing straps, head bands or the like), is divided into a shell-side insert (7) and a head-side insert (8), which can be counter-rotated (preferably starting from application of a predetermined force) in at least one direction, wherein a sliding surface is provided that assumes the function of a rotational surface, so that the angular acceleration introduced by a blow is drastically reduced or prevented because of the head-side insert (8) and the shell-side insert (7), and thus the head (5) of the wearer and the outer helmet shell, can be counter-rotated quickly and without impediment, preferably in all directions.

Safety head wear for use for example in high risk activities such as sports and industrial purposes where protection from head injuries is required. Components are provided inserted between the liner and outer shell and consists of two parts; a pod and a foam or foam like surrogate or structure. The foam or foam like material is contained in the chamber and is positioned in such a way to create constant force between the surface of the shell and head. The device provides a method of managing compression force characteristics of the helmet around the head designed to decrease brain trauma resulting from high linear acceleration during impacts to the helmet.

Chemical syntheses and medical uses of novel inhibitors of the uptake of monoamine neurotransmitters and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof, for the treatment and / or management of psychotropic disorders, anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, hot flashes, senile dementia, migraine, hepatopulmonary syndrome, chronic pain, nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, painful diabetic retinopathy, bipolar depression, obstructive sleep apnea, psychiatric disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, social phobia, social anxiety disorder, urinary incontinence, anorexia, bulimia nervosa, obesity, ischemia, head injury, calcium overload in brain cells, drug dependence, and / or premature ejaculation are described.

The collection bag of the invention is used to capture body fluids / waste material throughout the complete process as an enema is being administered, eliminating contamination of the patient, bed, linens, and floor as well as the caregiver and others that administer the enema. This bag can be administered to patients that are recovering from bariatric surgery, are in a long term care facility, hospital, home, or special unit caring for spinal cord injuries, or head injuries. It can be used with patients who are in a comatose condition whereby hip flexion, weight bearing, or transferring to a bedside commode is impossible. This collection bag captures waste for laboratory testing and other lab work and is marked with warning indicia. The bag fits any age patient, male or female.
