    摘要: The invention relates to a portable handheld device for detecting the presence of cardiac biomarkers in a sample of bodily fluid, comprising a test strip comprising an aptamer capable of binding to a cardiac biomarker when the test strip is contacted with a sample of bodily fluid from a patient;
    wherein the test strip is configured to provide a visual change based on its contact with the sample of bodily fluid; wherein the presence of a visual change is indicative of binding of the aptamer in the test strip with a cardiac biomarker in the sample of bodily fluid from the patient; and wherein the device further comprises a standard chart or key for interpreting a visual change on the test strip. The cardiac biomarkers can be selected from C-reactive protein, Creatinine Kinase, TroponinT, Myoglobin, IL-6, IL-18, Brain Natriuretic Peptide, and D-Dimer.

    摘要: The invention relates to biodegradable, metal alloys, methods for their preparation and applications for their use. The alloys include magnesium and other components, such as, yttrium, calcium, zirconium, and zinc. These elements are alloyed together in specific combinations and amounts in order to achieve an alloy having desired properties and characteristics. In certain embodiments, strontium or cerium may be included as an additive. The resulting alloys are particularly suitable for forming various medical devices for implantation into the body of a patient.
