Abstract: Genetic variations associated with a patient’s cancerous tumors can be indicative of potential effective treatments for treating the patient. Systems and methods for determining relationships between gene variants of a gene, the gene variants being related to one or more cancers and being correlated to a treatment response of the one or more cancers to one or more medications, are provided. The method includes accessing, using at least one processor, a database comprising information about the gene variants, the information including at least information indicative of a treatment response of a first gene variant of the gene variants to one or more treatments; categorizing the information about the gene variants within a plurality of groups; and generating hierarchical relationships between each group of the plurality of groups. In some embodiments, a patient may be treated using a treatment selected based on the generated hierarchical relationships.

Abstract: A sanitizing device used to sanitize a bulb syringe. The device preferably includes a base, a bulb receiver, and a sanitization system. The sanitization system produces a sanitizing gas that is propelled into and possibly around a bulb syringe in order to sanitize the surfaces of the syringe. The sanitization system preferably includes an ionization module, a fan, electrodes, and a power supply. Preferably, the sanitization system is housed in a conical housing which includes a central nozzle and an array of openings centered around the nozzle exit. The sanitization device preferably includes an automatic switch that is activated by the presence of a bulb syringe or upon placing a cover over the device.
