An ankle guard consisting of a band-shaped padding, with a substantially U-shaped longitudinal cross-section, which is configured to essentially cover the circumference of the foot in the vicinity of the ankle. The methods comprise short term treatment with a composition having a gastrincholecystokinin receptor ligand and an EGF receptor ligand. A catch is associated with the shaft. A retrieval-information storage unit generates index picture IDs, medium IDs, and folder IDs while correlating the above different types of IDs with each other, and stores the IDs together with the index pictures.
