The present invention provides antibody-based arrays for detecting the activation state and/or total amount of a plurality of signal transduction molecules in rare circulating cells and methods of use thereof for facilitating cancer prognosis and diagnosis and the design of personalized, targeted therapies. The present invention provides antibody-based arrays for detecting the activation state and/or total amount of a plurality of signal transduction molecules in rare circulating cells and methods of use thereof for facilitating cancer prognosis and diagnosis and the design of personalized, targeted therapies. Systems and methods for delivery of a drug to the respiratory system of a patient where the drug is supplied at a positive pressure relative to atmospheric pressure are provided. In particular, the drugs are delivered to the respiratory system of a patient who is capable of unassisted breathing. With the systems and methods of the present disclosure, medication available in a variety of forms is introduced in a controlled fashion into the air stream in aerosol, nebulized, or vaporized form.
