  • Patent number: 7270970
    Abstract: Systems and methods for medical diagnosis or risk assessment for a patient are provided. These systems and methods are designed to be employed at the point of care, such as in emergency rooms and operating rooms, or in any situation in which a rapid and accurate result is desired. The systems and methods process patient data, particularly data from point of care diagnostic tests or assays, including immunoassays, electrocardiograms, X-rays and other such tests, and provide an indication of a medical condition or risk or absence thereof. The systems include an instrument for reading or evaluating the test data and software for converting the data into diagnostic or risk assessment information.

  • Publication number: 20040266025
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, combinations, and kits for screening and treating a subject. In practicing the methods a sample, such as urine, blood, plasma, saliva, cervical fluid, vaginal fluid or a tissue sample, is obtained from a subject; if the level of a marker, such as a fetal restricted antigen or estriol, is indicative of a risk of imminent or preterm delivery, a progestational agent is administered to the subject. By virtue of administration of the agent delivery can be delayed.
