Houston Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Specialist Mark Sanders, M.D., Inducted Into the American Orthopaedic Society …

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - Dec 11, 2012) - Dr. Mark Sanders joins an elite group of orthopedic and sports medicine specialists as he accepts membership into the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM).

A board-certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of the Sanders Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Dr. Sanders' membership comes on the heels of his recently published study in the Journal of Sports Medicine -- Knee Injuries and the Use of Prophylactic Knee Bracing in Off-Road Motorcycling -- and his ongoing research of ACL injuries and reconstructions.

With a subspecialty certificate in orthopaedic sports medicine, Dr. Sanders has dedicated the greater part of his 32-year career caring for the extreme athlete.Today he is chief of staff at the North Texas Medical Center in Gainesville and on staff at Doctors Hospital Tidwell, and Victory Medical Center of Houston.

According to Dr. Sanders, the membership is a natural extension of his work and dedication to research in orthopedics and sports medicine.

"I am honored to sit among physicians contributing to better healthcare and treatment plans -- with the common goal to improve the outcome and quality of life for patients," said Dr. Sanders.

"The number of patients we see for repair of their failed total knee replacements and other procedures that leave them with less than optimal results is a testament to the work we're doing," added Sanders.

Dr. Sanders is also applying his "back to the basics" approach in addressing foot and ankle conditions, such as bunions and adult acquired flat foot deformity (AAFFD), to yield better outcomes than those reported from more invasive procedures.

Dr. Sanders is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American College of Surgeons.He is also a member of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS).

AOSSM was developed to provide a scientific outlet for presentation and publication of new ideas, as well as provide an opportunity for physicians to meet and exchange ideas on research, clinical problems, proposals for future progress in sports medicine and a high level publication controlled by the Society. This vision has expanded today to also foster international collaboration and communication among members world-wide.

He has a subspecialty in orthopedic sports medicine and is best known for his no nonsense approach to recovery -- getting his patients up on their feet and back to limb building movement immediately after a procedure.

BG Medicine Obtains CE Mark for CardioSCORE(TM) Test in Europe

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BG Medicine, Inc. (BGMD), a diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of novel cardiovascular tests, today announced that it has obtained a CE Mark enabling the commercial sale of the CardioSCORE(TM) test in the EU and other countries that recognize the CE Mark. The CardioSCORE test is the company's patented diagnostic blood test designed to dramatically improve risk prediction of major cardiovascular events beyond traditional risk factor assessments, such as the Framingham Risk Score and European SCORE.

The CardioSCORE test is performed on a standard blood sample and utilizes algorithmic analysis to combine the results of seven reimbursed protein assays. The test involves an independent scoring system that yields a quantitative result ranging from 0.0 to 10.0, with higher values indicating elevated risk for a major cardiovascular event in the subsequent 3 years and with each 1.0 point increment representing a 30% increase in relative risk. In the 6,600 patient BioImage Study cohort, the primary clinical validation study for the CardioSCORE test, among those who experienced a near-term major cardiovascular event during follow-up, only 26% were identified as being at high risk at baseline by traditional risk factors, whereas 54% percent were identified as being at high risk upon addition of their CardioSCORE result (p<0.0001).

"We are thrilled to bring the benefits of the CardioSCORE test to patients and physicians in Europe. We believe this test will be a pivotal and disruptive game-changer in the primary prevention of major cardiovascular events and treatment of disease, representing a major advancement over the diagnostic tools clinicians have used for the past 15 years," said Eric Bouvier, President and Chief Executive Officer of BG Medicine. "The majority of cardiovascular events occur among patients who are asymptomatic, and current risk factor assessment methods simply miss too many patients with hidden subclinical risk, delaying appropriate therapy and effective monitoring of response to such therapy. The CardioSCORE test will identify individuals at elevated risk for heart attack and stroke, enabling preventive intervention. We are working aggressively to launch the test in the first half of 2013 in Europe in collaboration with specialty laboratory partners."

"The CardioSCORE test may have the potential to help improve the care of many people by providing a simple, accurate and clinically meaningful score to assess an individual's risk for near-term major cardiovascular events," said Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, Professor of Cardiology and Director of Mount Sinai Heart.

Last month, investigators at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2012 presented the results of several analyses of the CardioSCORE test performance in the BioImage Study. The presentations by investigators from the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and the Baptist Hospital of Miami highlighted the predictive value of the test in assessing risk for near-term major cardiovascular events across a broad and diverse community-dwelling population. A summary of these findings is available here: http://investor.bg-medicine.com/releases.cfm.

"Obtaining the CE Mark for the CardioSCORE test is not only a significant milestone in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease but also a critical advancement in our company's continued transformation into a full-scale commercial organization," continued Mr. Bouvier. "BG Medicine now has two products covering the continuum of heart disease diagnostics, positioning us strongly to drive the clinical usage of our important diagnostic tests for millions of patients who will benefit from them throughout the world."

The CardioSCORE test is not yet available commercially in the United States. BG Medicine is continuing its active discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration regarding 510(k) clearance for the test in the United States.

About BG Medicine, Inc.

BG Medicine, Inc. (BGMD) is a diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of novel cardiovascular tests to address significant unmet medical needs, improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. The Company has two products: the BGM Galectin-3(R) test for use in patients with chronic heart failure is available in the United States and Europe; and the CardioSCORE(TM) test for the risk prediction of major cardiovascular events will be launched in Europe in the first half of 2013.
