Improved electrochemical impedance spectroscopy assays are provided by electrodepositing metallic nanoparticles onto the working electrode for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The metallic nanoparticles provide improved assay sensitivity. Electrodeposition of the metallic nanoparticles firmly affixes them to the working electrode, thereby making it easier to clean the working electrode from one assay to the next assay without undesirably removing the metallic nanoparticles.

Provided are therapeutic methods for treating a patient with lymphedema, or prophylactically treating an individual susceptible to lymphedema, by inhibiting synthesis activity of leukotriene B.

LTB4 inhibition to prevent and treat human lymphedema

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can be prevented in persons susceptible to the diseases and PAH patients can be treated by administering an effective dose of a leukotriene inhibitor. Suitable inhibitors include leukotriene Ahydrolase (LTAH) inhibitors, leukotriene Breceptor (BLT1/BLT2) antagonists, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors, and 5-lipoxgygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitors.
