SINGULEX CARDIOVASCULAR TEST:
- Singulex is an enhanced comprehensive testing used to determine the risk factors contributing to CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
- The specimen used for singulex cardiovascular test is BLOOD.
- It helps to provide a better awareness and monitoring of cardiovascular risk factors by measuring the biomarkers present in BLOOD.
- These tests includes - CARDIAC TROPONIN-1 ( elevated levels leads to acute disease such as heart attack, acute coronary syndrome and angina) -INTERLEUKIN-6 ( detecting clot formation and inflammation) -INTERLEUKIN-17A ( helps to find out the associated heart diseases such as heart attack and unstable angina) - PARATHYROID HORMONE( helps to identify abnormal calcium levels due to vitamin D deficiency) -TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA( is a cytokine involved in the systemic inflammation . Its elevated levels may associated with cardiovascular diseases.) -LEPTIN ( elevated levels associated with diabetes mellitus risk factor for cardiovascular diseases) -ADIPONECTIN-( decresed levels may result in type 2 diabetes mellitus) - FERRITIN-( a precursor to diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases) -CORTISOL- (has a direct effect on the cardiovascular diseases influencing the vascular function). HS-CRP TEST ( high sensitivity C-reactive protein): It measures high levels of protein to detect diseases that cause significant inflammation and is used to evaluate the individuals risk for CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES. SPECIMEN: The specimen used in HS-CRP test is SERUM. The minimum volume of serum needed for test is 0.2ml.

The calibration of a scale is to be checked by weighing a 13 kg
test specimen 25 times. Suppose that the results of different
weighings are independent of one another and that the weight on
each trial is normally distributed with σ = 0.200 kg. Let
μ denote the true average weight reading on the scale.
(c)
For a test with α = 0.01, what is the probability that
recalibration is judged unnecessary when in fact μ = 13.2?

A sand specimen is isotropically consolidated in a triaxial test
apparatus to 420 kPa and then sheared with the drainage valves open
(i.e., an S or CD test). At failure, (σ1 – σ3) is 1046 kPa.
Determine the major and minor principal stresses at failure and the
effective internal friction angle (assume c' = 0). Plot the Mohr
diagram. (Problem originally from Holtz and Kovacs, 11-10)
