Patent number: 8191554Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a covering member for a protruding portion of a patient's body. This cover is flexible and collapsible so that it conforms to the shape of the encased portion of the body. This prevents the cover from being noticed while it is worn under clothing. The cover can contain a medicament or agent for pretreating a portion of the body before an examination or procedure. When the cover is used to apply a topical anesthetic to a portion of the body for a recommended period of time prior to the procedure or examination commencing, the amount of discomfort experienced by the patient can be significantly reduced compared to the amount experienced by the patient who has the anesthetic applied for just a few moments before the procedure begins. Alternatively, the cover can be used to hold a medicament or agent on the intended portion of the body in order to heal a wound or cure a condition such as a skin rash or the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Dr. Susan Love Research FoundationInventors: Daniel R.

Publication number: 20110124110Abstract: The invention relates to a simple screening test for neoplasia, a precancerous condition, or cancer of the breast. A method is described whereby a breast cancer marker is detected in breast fluid. In a particular embodiment, the method involves treating samples of breast fluids with an aldehyde detecting reagent without any prewashing. The appearance in breast fluids of a marker that is detected by an aldehyde detecting reagent, such as a Schiff's reagent, correlates very well with the disease status of the breast cancer subjects from which the fluids were obtained. Screening test kits are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: DR.

Publication number: 20100256464Abstract: A cost-effective and sensitive apparatus and method for detecting individuals at risk for developing or having breast cancer is provided. More particularly, an apparatus and method for detecting markers associated with breast cancer risk is provided in one embodiment. The apparatus and method use nipple aspirate fluid obtained from breast ducts. This nipple aspirate fluid is applied to a marker panel that tests for the presence of specific markers associated with breast cancer risk. The apparatus and method provide a positive response based upon the detection of at least one marker associated with an increased risk for developing or having breast cancer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2008Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: Dr. Susan Love Research FoundationInventors: Susan Love, Jan Wan
