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? (Round...
