  • Method of diagnosing stage or aggressiveness of breast and prostate cancer based on levels of fatty acid binding proteins
    Patent number: 7175981
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing the stage or aggressiveness of cancer and particularly breast and prostate cancer by measuring the deviation of levels of fatty acid binding proteins in mammalian tissue or body fluids from normal levels of fatty acid binding proteins. The invention relates to a family of key proteins called fatty acid binding proteins which are involved in metabolism of AA and other lipids and how they affect the proliferation of cancer cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 1999
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2007
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Marti Jett, Rina Das, Roger Neill
  • Method of treating lethal shock induced by toxic agents and diagnosing exposure to toxic agents by measuring distinct pattern in the levels of expression of specific genes
    Publication number: 20050272055
    Abstract: A method for administering a therapeutic agent which inhibits the mechanistic pathways necessary to maintain the progression of lethal shock. The therapeutic agent is administered in the form of a drug, antisense or protein depending on the gene expression.

  • Solar heating
    Patent number: 4021895
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for solar heating of a fluid in stages involving solar heaters which maintain good thermal efficiency to differing maximum temperatures in order to provide effective heating over a temperature range wider than could be effectively dealt with by any one type of solar heater.
