Method for calibrating an analysis device, and associated device
12 Jul 22
A method of calibration of a device for analyzing at least one element present in a sample, said device including: a detection assembly configured to acquire an image formed by the interference between a light source and said sample; and digital processing means configured to detect a digital position of at least one element in said sample based on said acquired image; said calibration method including the implementation of a plurality of predetermined displacements of said sample with respect to said detection assembly and, for all of said displacements, the detection of a digital position of a same element to determine the digital position and the real position matching model according to the predetermined displacements and to the digital positions of said element after each displacement.

Utility
Method and kit for making an in vitro prognosis of severity for a patient in septic shock
5 Jul 22
The subject of the invention is a method for making an in vitro prognosis of severity for a patient in septic shock, including the following steps: (i) the level of expression of the expression product of at least one gene chosen from the lilrb2 and lilrb1 genes is measured in vitro on the basis of a biological sample taken from the patient, (ii) the level of expression of the expression product of the at least one gene is compared with a control level of expression, of the expression product of the same gene, with a good prognosis of severity, in which a level of expression of the expression product of the at least one gene below the control level of expression indicates a poor prognosis of severity for the patient, and also a kit for implementing the method.
