SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TARGETING RELEVANT RESEARCH ACTIVITY IN RESPONSE TO ANGIOGENIC REGULATOR ANALYSES
First Claim
1. A system for targeting relevant research activity in response to angiogenic regulator analyses, comprising:
- an angiogenic analyzer for receiving at least one patient blood sample, for measuring in a single patient blood sample the level of each of at least ten angiogenic regulators, and for generating a data output indicative of the respective level of each of the at least ten measured angiogenic regulators;
a database unit comprising plural entries, each entry corresponding to a respective publication and indexed at least according to a range of levels for each of at least one angiogenic regulator; and
a data processing unit in communication with the angiogenic analyzer and the database unit for receiving the data output from the angiogenic analyzer, for identifying entries in the database unit for which one or more of the patient angiogenic regulator levels are addressed therein, and for providing an identification of the identified database entries.

Abstract
A system and method for targeting relevant research activity for clinical application in response to angiogenic regulator analyses. An angiogenic analysis is performed on a patient blood sample in order to detect the level of each of at least ten angiogenic regulators. The levels of the tested regulators are used as indexes to identify relevant peer-reviewed research publications from among a large database of articles. The most relevant peer-reviewed literature reporting research and studies that have been conducted to identify, moderate, and define the mechanisms unique to individual and combinations of angiogenic regulators for various disease states are then provided to the patient and/or to the patient'"'"'s physician, optionally in conjunction with a summarization of the treatment recommendations gleaned from the provided literature. The customized information delivery provides the patient and physician a range of published peer-reviewed therapeutic options and published research studies for moderating the out of range regulators to within normal range or other diagnostic significant range.
