A phone appliance and method of use are provided where the phone appliance can be used to make VoIP communications calls. In a preferred embodiment, the phone appliance includes an RF connection for connecting to a computer or other computing device for facilitating the placement of the VoIP communications calls. The phone appliance further includes a display or portal for depicting advertisements provided by various advertisers. The advertisements provided can be used to defray all or part of the cost associated with making VoIP communications calls. The portal can also be used to communicate with businesses for ordering products, such as ordering a pizza, and to perform various services, such as purchasing stocks. In an exemplary system, the phone appliance is used to transmit to a control center information related to the user of the phone appliance, such as interests and buying habits, and queries for receiving additional information for various advertised products and services. The control center transmits the queries to the appropriate vendors for providing the user with additional information. Other functions and features are provided to the phone appliance, such as being able to download e-mail messages stored within or received by the computer.

The application discloses adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC) and related compositions and methods. ADSCs are useful for (i) production of insulin producing cells, (ii) treatment of diabetes, (iii) endothelial cell reconstitution, (iv) treatment of overactive bladder and urge incontinence, (v) prevention and treatment of bladder voiding dysfunction; (vi) treatment of neurogenic impotence such as that resulting from diabetes or after prostate cancer therapy; (vii) treatment of vasculogenic impotence, such as that resulting from hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis and diabetes; (viii) the promotion of wound healing; (ix) reduction of skin wrinkling; and (x) hair growth.

International Classification:
A61K 35/28 A61K 38/18 A61K 9/00 A61P 19/00
Abstract:
The invention provides for compositions and methods for making and using adipose-derived stem cells for treating non-human mammals for various medical conditions. In particular, the invention provides methods and compositions useful for repair of bone fractures, and for treatment of “dry eye” conditions, acute renal failure, and chronic renal failure in non-human mammals. The ADSC are porcine adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC) isolated from transgenic porcine animals.
