20130058950 | METHODS FOR DETECTING PROGENITOR CELLS AND USES THEREOF - Diagnostic and therapeutic methods pertaining to diseases and disorders of the breast, uterus and ovary are encompassed herein. More particularly, diagnostic methods for early detection of progenitor cells of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers are described herein. The identification of markers for these cancer predisposing progenitor cells, which co-express the progesterone receptor (PR) and p63, provides tools and methods of use thereof that facilitate early detection of increased frequency of PR/p63 double positive (PR/p63+) progenitor cells in asymptomatic patients and thus, early detection of increased cancer risk in such patients and assessment, diagnostic stratification, and evaluation of therapeutic intervention in symptomatic patients. Therapeutic methods are also encompassed herein, which include detection of PR/p63+ progenitor cells in a patient, wherein detection of increased frequency of PR/p63+ progenitor cells provides information on which basis a determination of therapeutic regimen or an assessment of an ongoing therapeutic regimen can be made. | 03-07-2013 |

20110275276 | COMPRESSION SUPPORT BRA - A bra for compression stabilizing the breast mass against motion relative to the torso includes a closed cell foam layer having a front, back, sides, and shoulder straps in a pattern to approximately match the contours of a female user's torso. A first fabric layer adjacent to the inner surface of the cell foam layer adjacent to the user's skin, substantially matching the pattern of the closed cell foam fabric layer, provides moisture wicking and comfort. A portion of the closed cell foam fabric layer extends below the breast line and encircles the torso to add motion stabilizing support to the breasts. | 11-10-2011 |

20140295734 | REVERSIBLE COMPRESSION SUPPORT BRA - A reversible bra for compression stabilizing the breast mass against motion relative to the torso includes a zipper side and a non-zipper side with shoulder straps in a pattern to approximately match the contours of a female user's torso whether the zipper is worn in the front or in the back. The zipper in positioned on the zipper side down the center of the zipper side from a seam at the top adjacent the straps to provide a non-stretchable seam which reduces the stretch area at the location of the breasts to provide greater compression when the zipper is in the front. The bra may be reversed so that a greater area of stretch fabric is position to apply compression against the breast and thereby proved for lessened compression against the breast when the zipper is position in the back of the user. | 10-02-2014 |
