  • BIOMARKER FOR VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION
    Publication number: 20150225791
    Abstract: A method of determining the vascular endothelial function of a subject using GAPDH as a biomarker is presented, whereby the level of GAP-DH mRNA and/or GAPDH protein in a sample obtained from a subject is measured and compared to a reference. A difference in the level of GAPDH mRNA and/or GAPDH protein between that measured for the sample and a reference may be indicative of impaired vascular endothelial function and therefore may indicate the onset of a condition related to impaired vascular endothelial function such as atherosclerosis.

  • HEATING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100057168
    Abstract: A body part heating system (10) comprises a temperature sensor (28) adapted to measure the temperature of a body part, and a heater (34a, 34b) in communication with the temperature sensor (28). The heater (34a, 34b) is adapted to be activated to heat the body part in response to the temperature sensor (28) sensing the occurrence of a predefined thermal event such as a temperature drop below a predefined level. The heating system (10) may be in the form of a glove and may be used to treat the symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon.
