  • Publication number: 20120330558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method comprising the steps of obtaining a sample from the subject, measuring a plurality of biomolecules in the sample, identifying the measured biomolecules in the sample, characterized in that the method further comprises the steps of estimating a discriminatory ability of each measured biomolecule by using a paired test hypothesis, and integrating the estimated discriminatory abilities of the biomolecules into a kinetic analysis. More particularly, the present invention enables the use of such a method and a method for monitoring progress or treatment of a disease such as cardiovascular diseases. Such identification methods comprising the steps of obtaining a sample from the subject, measuring a plurality of biomolecules in the sample and identifying the measured biomolecules can particularly be used for monitoring progress or treatment of a disease.

  • Publication number: 20070297657
    Abstract: The invention relates to the quantitative analysis and/or visualization of the relative motion of objects in particular of the relative motion of one or several objects inside a living entity, for instance the human body or a living cell. The invented system and method allow to quantify and visualize the motion of these objects with respect to the parts of the living entity, which can deform and move itself with respect to each other. Furthermore, the method allows to identify movements and deformations which correspond to situations with a particular meaning for the living entity, for instance predicting complications in a disease progress, etc. An important application is the analysis of motion and deformation of stent-grafts introduced after endovascular repair of aneurysms. Here, the occurrence of deformations leading to graft-limb occlusions and of migrations of the stent-graft leading to so-called endoleaks can be predicted in an early stage.
