Abstract: Biomarkers and methods are disclosed for diagnosing the risk of a myocardial infarction in an individual by measuring the levels of a set of biomarkers in a sample from an individual. A risk score is calculated for the individual by weighting the measured levels of the biomarkers. The risk score then is used to identify whether the individual is likely to experience a myocardial infarction. In addition, kits are disclosed that include a set of reagents for specifically measuring biomarker levels in a sample from an individual.

Abstract: Biomarkers, methods, systems, and related teachings are disclosed for diagnosing the risk of an adverse event in a human, where the adverse event can be unstable angina, ischemic stroke, non-ischemic stroke, all-cause stroke, heart failure, all-cause death, and being a candidate for coronary revascularization surgery.

Abstract: Markers are provided for detecting coronary artery disease. Levels of these markers are indicative of a patient being at risk of having or developing coronary artery disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for developing profiles of a biological system based on the discernment of similarities, differences, and/or correlations between biomolecular components of a plurality of biological samples. Preferably, the method comprises utilizing hierarchical multivariate analysis of spectrometric data at one or more levels of correlation.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to gaining insight into biological states, e.g., disease states or drugged states, by gathering, integrating, and combining biomolecular data. More particularly, the present teachings relate to methods and systems for profiling a state of a biological system, finding accessible biomarkers representative of the state of a biological system, and deriving insights into the biochemistry of a biological system for therapeutic, diagnostic, prognostic and other purposes.

Abstract: A technique processes a sample of biomolecular analyte. The technique uses an apparatus having a support assembly that receives and supports a test module, a load assembly that loads the sample of biomolecular analyte onto the test module, an electrophoresis assembly that applies a current to the test module such that components within the sample separate by electrophoresis, and a controller that controls operations of the load assembly and the electrophoresis assembly. The load assembly and the electrophoresis assembly are coupled to the support assembly. The controller controls the operation of the load assembly in an automated manner. Preferably, the test module includes a dielectric plate member having an upper planar surface and a lower planar surface that is spaced apart from and coplanar with the upper planar surface. The dielectric plate member has at least one set of channels that includes an injection channel and a separation channel.
