A Is there an identifiable odor a) glycemic event b) seizure
- During a low glycemic event does the body produce an odor that can be detected in the/on the saliva by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- During a low glycemic event does the body produce an odor that can be detected in the/on the skin swab by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- During a tonic clonic seizure event does the body produce an odor that can be detected in the/on the saliva by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- During a tonic clonic seizure event does the body produce an odor that can be detected in the/on the skin swab by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
B Can odor be captured a) from different sources b) on different medium
- Can odor produced during a low glycemic event be captured from saliva placed on dental cotton and be detected by dogs trained to identify specific odors
- Can odor produced during a low glycemic event be captured from skin swab placed on gauze pads be detected by dogs trained to identify specific odors
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure be captured from saliva placed on dental cotton be detected by dogs trained to identify specific odors
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure be captured from skin swab placed on gauze pads be detected by dogs trained to identify specific odors
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure be captured from seizure event placed on cotton pads be detected by dogs trained to identify specific odors
C Is there a difference between event odor and non-event odor
- Can a dog trained to identify chemical changes in the body distinguish between the odor of the saliva in a person experiencing a low glycemic event vs the odor of the saliva of the same person in a euglycemic state
- Can a dog trained to identify chemical changes in the body distinguish between the odor of the skin swab in a person experiencing a low glycemic event vs the odor of the skin swab of the same person in a euglycemic state
- Can a dog trained to identify chemical changes in the body distinguish between the odor of the saliva in a person experiencing a tonic clonic seizure event vs the odor of the saliva of the same person in a non-seizure state
- Can a dog trained to identify chemical changes in the body distinguish between the odor of the skin swab in a person experiencing a tonic clonic seizure event vs the odor of the skin swab of the same person in a non-seizure-state
D Can viable sample be replicated through hydration
- Can odor produced during a low glycemic event be captured from saliva placed on dental cotton be replicated via hydration be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- Can odor produced during a low glycemic event be captured from skin swab placed on gauze pads be replicated via hydration be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure event be captured from saliva placed on dental cotton be replicated via hydration be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure event event be captured from skin swab placed on gauze pads be replicated via hydration be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
E Can viable sample replicated through hydration be identified after being frozen
- Can odor produced during a low glycemic event be captured from saliva placed on dental cotton be replicated via hydration then frozen be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- Can odor produced during a low glycemic event be captured from skin swab placed on gauze pads be replicated via hydration then frozen be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure event be captured from saliva placed on dental cotton be replicated via hydration then frozen be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
- Can odor produced during a tonic clonic seizure event event be captured from skin swab placed on gauze pads be replicated via hydration then frozen be identified by dogs trained to identify chemical changes in the body
Future Tests:
- all of the above testing viability after a certain length of time
- all of the above testing viability after storage variables (refrigeration, freezing, etc)
- common identifiable biological marker between LowBG and pre-ictal seizure event
- common identifiable marker between types of seizures
- common identifiable marker between pre and post ictal seizure sample
- can dog discriminate between sample donors
- between species
- odor and stress events (panic attacks, PTSD, etc)
Non-wheel tests:
(using Nosework hide techniques)
- can odor be detected in the air; on clothing
- from a distance; a measurable distance
