  • METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR ASSESSING CHD RISK USING ADJUSTED LDL PARTICLE NUMBER MEASUREMENTS
    Publication number: 20060183234
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products and apparatus determine a subject's risk of having or developing CHD using a calculated LDL particle risk number and/or a mathematical model of risk associated with LDL particles that adjusts concentrations of at least one of small and large LDL particle measurements to reflect predicted CHD risk.

  • NMR clinical analyzers and related methods, systems, modules and computer program products for clinical evaluation of biosamples
    Publication number: 20050222504
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products and apparatus automate clinical NMR in vitro diagnostic analyzers. The clinical analyzer can automatically electronically monitor selected parameters and automatically electronically adjust parameters to maintain the analyzer within desired operational ranges. The clinical NMR analyzers can be configured as a networked system with a plurality of clinical NMR analyzers located at different use sites; and at least one remote control system in communication with one or a plurality of clinical NMR analyzers, the at least one remote system configured to monitor selected local operating parameters associated with a respective clinical NMR analyzer.
