Assignee:
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
A61B 10/02
US Classification:
600564
Abstract:
An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device for performing a skin biopsy that includes a generally curved blade to cut the skin at a predetermined depth disposed within or an integral part of a blade holder assembly. The blade holder assembly has an outer surface and the generally curved blade is coupled to the outer surface of the blade holder assembly. The device also includes a housing having an outer wall and said outer wall defining an interior space within the housing, such that the blade holder assembly and generally curved blade are disposed substantially within the inner space of the housing. The device also includes a handle coupled to the blade holder assembly and configured to rotate the blade holder assembly and in turn the generally curved blade within the inner space of the housing to perform the skin biopsy or removal of skin conditions.

Methods And Compositions For Inhibiting Or Reducing Hair Loss, Acne, Rosacea, Prostate Cancer, And Bph
US Patent:
2011002, Jan 27, 2011
Filed:
Jun 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/303998

International Classification:
A61K 31/713, A61K 31/557, A61K 31/7088, A61K 8/36, A61P 17/00, A61P 35/00, A61Q 7/00
US Classification:
514 44 A, 514573, 514 44 R
Abstract:
This invention provides methods of treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), acne, rosacea, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), comprising the step of contacting a subject with a compound or composition capable of decreasing prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) level or activity, a downstream signaling or receptor pathway thereof, or prostaglandin D2 synthase level or activity; methods of stimulating hair growth, comprising the step of contacting a subject with a compound or composition capable of increasing or decreasing the activity or level of a target gene of the present invention, or with a protein product of the target gene or an analogue or mimetic thereof; and methods of testing for AGA and evaluating therapeutic methods thereof, comprising measuring PGD2 levels.
Hyperspectral Imaging For Detection Of Skin Related Conditions
US Patent:
2013011, May 9, 2013
Filed:
Sep 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/626301

Assignee:
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
G06K 9/78
US Classification:
382128
Abstract:
A method of detecting a skin condition may include employing a multiband hyperspectral sensor to obtain multi-spectral data, employing the multi-spectral data to map constitutive skin parameters to corresponding spectral signatures via a forward model that enables generation of a set of samples including a plurality of parameters mapped to a plurality of spectral signatures, utilizing the set of samples to employ machine learning to generate an inverse model to enable mapping of a spectral signature of skin of a patient to corresponding skin parameters, estimatingconstitutive skin parameters of the skin of the patient based on the inverse model, and determining a distribution of the constitutive parameters for one or more skin locations.

Abstract:
A topical composition includes a nanoemulsion of a plurality of hydrophobic particles having a hydrophilic coating therein. The hydrophobic particles are derived from the same or different hydrophobic material and each hydrophobic particle has a melting point below the melting point of the respective hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic particles comprise a mean particle size of less than about 10 nm, and the nanoemulsion further includes one or more pharmaceutically active agents.
