Devices and methods for determining analyte levels are described. The devices and methods allow for the implantation of analyte-monitoring devices, such as glucose monitoring devices, that result in the delivery of a dependable flow of blood to deliver sample to the implanted device. The devices comprise a unique microarchitectural arrangement in the sensor region that allows accurate data to be obtained over long periods of time.

Device and method for determining analyte levels

The invention relates to the discovery of novel soluble neutral active Hyaluronidase Glycoproteins (sHASEGPs), methods of manufacture, and their use to facilitate administration of other molecules or to alleviate glycosaminoglycan associated pathologies. Minimally active polypeptide domains of the soluble, neutral active sHASEGP domains are described that include asparagine-linked sugar moieties required for a functional neutral active hyaluronidase domain. Included are modified amino-terminal leader peptides that enhance secretion of sHASEGP. The invention further comprises sialated and pegylated form of a recombinant sHASEGP to enhance stability and serum pharmacokinetics over naturally occurring slaughterhouse enzymes. Further described are suitable formulations of a substantially purified recombinant sHASEGP glycoprotein derived from a eukaryotic cell that generate the proper glycosylation required for its optimal activity.

The invention is directed to a patch for the transdermal delivery of the racemic form or the active enantiomer of the analgesic ketorolac. The transdermal patch is capable of delivering therapeutically effective doses of the drug for a period of 12 hours or more. The patch is capable of delivering the racemate of ketorolac at a flux rate of 40 μg/cm 2 ·hr or more, and of the active enantiomer at a flux rate of 20 μg/cm 2 ·hr or more.

Liquid reservoir transdermal patch for the administration of ketorolac

The invention provides for the transdermal delivery of the active enantiomer of the analgesic ketorolac. Transdermal patches according to the invention are capable of delivering (-) ketorolac to a patient at therapeutically effective levels, at a flux rate of 20 μg/cm 2 .hr or more. Patches for use in the present invention may be adhesive matrix, monolithic matrix, or liquid reservoir transdermal patches.

Transdermal delivery of the active enantiomer of ketorolac

A patch for the transdermal delivery of ketorolac is described. The patch is capable of delivering therapeutically effective levels of ketorolac through a patient's skin for a period of 12 hours or more.
