An allergy skin test device is disclosed that causes less pain than commonly used devices that include multi-point sharp puncture heads. The allergy skin test device incorporates multiple dull pressure heads distributed amongst the sharp multi-point sharp puncture heads, each dull pressure head activating a neurological pain gate that reduces pain sensation typically caused by the neighboring multi-point head when it engages the skin.

Treatment or prevention of oral allergy syndrome, or other allergy-related oral inflammatory processes using a topical preparation of at least one of a mast cell stabilizer and an antihistamine is disclosed. For example, the topical administration of Cromolyn Sodium prior to ingestion of raw fruits and raw vegetables may be used to prevent oral allergy symptoms. The topical administration can be performed by use of a solution, a powder, an aerosol, a tablet, a chewable tablet, a gel, a melting strip, a mouth rinse, a mouth swab, or a piece of candy, and may be combined with carrier molecules and/or mucoadhesive molecules to enhance efficacy.

A breast examination system is disclosed that facilitates normalized quantitative comparison of results from multiple examinations performed under differing conditions, such as different viewing angles. The proposed system can operate on a camera-equipped smart-phone, a camera-equipped desk-top computer, or on a dedicated device to perform a guided breast cancer examination, and then store results of the examination in a normalized format that allows effective quantitative comparison to historic results, thereby detecting changes and trends. The results can be stored on the local device, or on a web-based server, providing various data comparison, data management, and data interpretation services in a secure and controlled manner.

A website and method are disclosed for helping a recommender to provide confidential recommendations for individuals. The system enables the recommender to efficiently comply with multiple requests for confidential recommendations, and to efficiently comply with a single request for a confidential recommendation to be sent to multiple institutions. The system eliminates the need to write multiple confidential recommendations when the individual applies to multiple institutions by enabling the recommender to distribute multiple links to the same confidential recommendation. The system also enables the recommender to easily edit the recommendation before or after multiple links have been distributed, thereby ensuring that the recommender retains control over the content of the confidential recommendation. The control over the recommendation link also includes a capability for changing the link expiration date, temporarily suspending or re-activating a link, and deleting a link.

An allergy skin test device is disclosed that causes less pain than commonly used devices that include multi-point sharp puncture heads. The allergy skin test device incorporates multiple dull pressure heads distributed amongst the sharp multi-point sharp puncture heads, each dull pressure head activating a neurological pain gate that reduces pain sensation typically caused by the neighboring multi-point head when it engages the skin.

A palm-held device is disclosed for injection of a substance into an organism. The palm-held device has the shape of a computer mouse, and so is very familiar, which helps with ease-of-use and comfort. Like a computer mouse, the device can be moved easily by gently holding and guiding the mouse with the fingers and the palm of the hand. There are many possible button configurations, such as a single button mouse, the button having a large surface at the front top portion of the mouse, and being pressable by any finger. There can also be a two button mouse, such that the left button actuates the injection, and the right button is the “safety” that allows the left button to actuate the injection. The two buttons can be on the top front of the mouse, or can be on the right and left sides of the mouse.

A website and method are disclosed for helping an anonymous individual to publicly disclose anonymous information about the anonymous individual so as to facilitate discovery of the anonymous individual by potential employers interested in hiring the anonymous individual. The website and method reduce risk to the anonymous individual of negative consequences of public disclosure of information about the anonymous individual. The website and method also inherently encourage disclosure to potential employers of more comprehensive information about the anonymous individual. The website includes a profile input capability for use by an anonymous individual to create a profile having anonymous information about the anonymous individual; a profile presentation capability for use by potential employers to view and select profiles of anonymous individuals; and a communication capability for potential employers to communicate with a selected anonymous individual so as to preserve the anonymity of the selected anonymous individual.
摘要:
A method of applying a topical preparation of at least one of a mast cell stabilizer, an antihistamine, and a leukotriene inhibitor is disclosed for prevention and/or treatment of oral allergy syndrome of the lips, including lip itchiness and/or swelling. For example, topical application of Cromolyn Sodium to the lips can be used to prevent and/or treat allergic reaction to consumption or other contact with raw fruits and/or raw vegetables. The topical administration can be performed by using applicator devices that apply at least one of a mast cell stabilizer and an antihistamine in the form of a liquid, or a gel, or a butter, or a wax-like solid, or a liposome suspension. Applicator devices can include at least one of: a roller, a brush, a sponge, a swab, a tube, a lipstick. The taste of the at least one of a mast cell stabilizer and an antihistamine can be masked by flavors.
