Sera from 11 individuals which were classified as Lp(a-) by direct gel diffusion and by absorption tests showed the presence of Lp(a) lipoprotein when the sera were concentrated 120-fold. This Lp(a) antigen was demonstrated by gel diffusion to be indistinguishable from Lp-lipoprotein isolated from known Lp(a+) sera. The Lp(a) preparations from sera classified Lp(a-) also showed electrophoretic ...

In this paper we study the problem of computing the smallest-width annulus for a convex polytope in R d. This generalizes a topic from tolerancing metrology to higher dimensions, of which the planar case has been investigated by Swanson, Lee and Wu. We show this problem to be equivalent to the problem of computing diierent variants of Hausdorr-minimal spheres. We can formulate the latter proble...

Lipoprotein X (LP-X) is an abnormal lipoprotein that appears in the sera of patients with obstructive jaundice and is thus a marker for cholestasis. The presence of LP-X in serum does not allow discrimination between intra- and extra-hepatic cholestasis. In addition LP-X is present in the plasma of patients with familial plasma lecithin: cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) deficiency. It is a s...
