摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the diagnosis and/or risk stratification of invasive fungal infections (IFI) / invasive fungal diseases (IFD) and in particular associated with sepsis or septic shock, wherein a determination of the marker proadrenomedullin (proADM) or a partial peptide or fragment thereof, in particular midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), or contained in a marker combination (panel, cluster), is carried out from a patient to be examined. Furthermore, the invention relates to a diagnostic assay and a kit for carrying out the method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an immunoassay method for the detection of augurin or a precursor or fragment thereof comprising contacting a sample suspected of comprising augurin or a precursor or fragment thereof with a first and second antibody specific for augurin or a precursor or fragment thereof, wherein said first and second antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or derivatives thereof are specific for epitopes comprised in the sequence spanning amino acids 71 to 107 of pre-augurin according to SEQ ID NO:1.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the prognosis and/or risk assessment and/or monitoring of therapy and/or management of patients with COPD the method comprising the steps of: i) providing a sample of a bodily fluid from said patient, ii) determining in said sample the level of at least one biomarker, selected from the group consisting of pro-adrenomedullin (proADM), pronatriuretic peptide, pro-Vasopressin (proAVP) and Pro-calcitonin (PCT) or fragments thereof of at least 12 amino acids in length, iii) determining one, two or three of the BODE-index parameters body-mass index (BMI, parameter B), degree of airflow obstruction (FEV 1 , parameter O), dyspnea (parameter D) and exercise capacity (parameter E), iv) correlating said level of said at least one biomarker determined in step ii), in combination with said one, two or three BODE-index parameters determined in step iii) to the prognosis and/or risk assessment and/or monitoring of therapy and/or management of patients with COPD.
摘要:
Subject of the present invention are assays and in vitro methods for the prediction of the risk of a subject for contracting metabolic syndrome and/or diabetes mellitus and for diagnosing metabolic syndrome, comprising determining the level of arginine vasopressin pro-hormone or fragments thereof in a sample of a subject.
