  • Publication number: 20130212125
    Abstract: A computer system having a processor, non-transitory memory and a communication system is described. The communication system is coupled to a network and communicates with one or more genetic databases using an internet protocol. The non-transitory memory stores processor executable code to cause the processor to (1) receive data indicative of genetic array data of a patient via the communication system, (2) conduct, via the communication system and the network, at least one query of one or more genetic databases of genotypic data and phenotypic data using the data indicative of patient genetic data and phenotypic data, and (3) provide results of the at least one query to provide a clinical synopsis of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20130144212
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a biocompatible drug delivery device for the targeted treatment of cancer that is implantable within the tumorous mass of a patient. In one embodiment, the device comprises two polarizable elements mechanically coupled by a connecting element. The device also comprises one or more cancer treatment agents. When the polarizable elements are depolarized, such as by the application of ionizing radiation, the two polarizable elements are repelled from each other and release the cancer treatment agent. In another embodiment, one or more treatment agents are expelled from a miniaturized syringe when internal pressure of the device is increased by the production of gas bubbles in response to the application of ionizing radiation.
