Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of diagnosis or prognosis of a non-healing or chronic wound comprising the step of determining the ratio of carnitine to ceramide and/or ceramide derivative in a sample, or the level of at least one metabolite in a sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of nutrition and health. In particular, the present invention relates to a new biomarker, its use and a method that allows it to diagnose the likelihood to resist diet induced weight gain, and/or to be susceptible to a diet induced weight gain. For example, the biomarker may be trimethylamine-N-oxide.

Abstract: Methods and kits for analysing a sample from a test subject. The methods involve determining the level of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of N-acetylglutamate, methionine, acetylcarnitine, indole-3-acetate, 2-oxoglutarate, anserine, aspartate and butyrate in the sample from the test subject; and comparing the level of the at least one compound determined to at least one control level, wherein the levels of the at least one compound are indicative of whether the subject has hepatic cancer.

Abstract: A process for establishing a standard specification for a medicinal plant material comprises: (i) preparing a test solution or test extract of a sample of the medicinal plant material which is known to possess the or each property required for the standard; (ii) submitting the said solution or extract to two or more analytical methods including (a) a combination of NMR spectroscopy and a computer-based pattern recognition technique, and (b) one or more biological profiling techniques; (iii) obtaining results from the analytical methods used in step (ii); and (iv) establishing a standard specification for the said plant material on the basis of the results obtained in step (iii). Candidate samples of the medicinal plant material may subsequently be tested for compliance with the standard. They can be accepted or rejected depending on whether they give analytical results which fall within or outside either part or all of the specification established in step (iv).

Abstract: This invention pertains to methods for the analysis of biological data, particularly spectra, for example, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other types of spectra. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a method for processing a sample spectrum comprising: replacing each of one or more target regions in said sample spectrum with a corresponding replacement region of a master control spectrum to give a target-replaced sample spectrum, wherein said replacement region has been scaled so as to have the same fraction of the total integrated intensity in said target-replaced sample spectrum as it did in said master control spectrum.
