  • METHOD FOR DETECTING A CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY-ASSOCIATED DISEASE
    Publication number: 20100136574
    Abstract: The present invention in one embodiment is an early detection marker for chronic or acute inflammatory-associated diseases. Chronic diseases may include atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Irritable bowel syndrome and Inflammatory bowel disease. Acute diseases may include sepsis, acute systemic infections, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
