Patent number: 7361473Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis and evaluation of acute coronary syndromes. In particular, patient test samples are analyzed for the presence and amount of members of a panel of markers comprising one or more specific markers for myocardial injury and one or more non-specific markers for myocardial injury. A variety of markers are disclosed for assembling a panel of markers for such diagnosis and evaluation. In various aspects, the invention provides methods for the early detection and differentiation of stable angina, unstable angina, and myocardial infarction. Invention methods provide rapid, sensitive and specific assays that can greatly increase the number of patients that can receive beneficial treatment and therapy, reduce the costs associated with incorrect diagnosis, and provide important information about the prognosis of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2002Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Biosite, IncorporatedInventors: Gunars Valkirs, Jeffrey Dahlen, Kenneth F. Buechler, Howard Kirchick

Publication number: 20080092047Abstract: An interactive multimedia system and method for audio dubbing of video is described whereby a number of participants may create new audio for a video clip. The video clip may be selected from among a group of pre-existing video clips. A director may act to determine the parameters of the audio recording process and one or more actors at remote locations from the director may record the audio portion to thereby create the new combined audio and video.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Applicant: RIDEO, INC.Inventors: David N. Fealkoff, Jeffrey A. Dahlen, Dan T. Pausback, Terry Wayne Sutherlin

Publication number: 20050255484Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis and evaluation of stroke and transient ischemic attacks. A variety of markers are disclosed for assembling a panel for such diagnosis and evaluation. In various aspects, the invention provides methods for early detection and differentiation of stroke types and transient ischemic attacks, for determining the prognosis of a patient presenting with stroke symptoms, and identifying a patient at risk for cerebral vasospasm. Invention methods provide rapid, sensitive and specific assays to greatly increase the number of patients that can receive beneficial stroke treatment and therapy, and reduce the costs associated with incorrect stroke diagnosis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2004Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Gunars Valkirs, Jeffrey Dahlen, Howard Kirchick, Kenneth Buechler
