Pathophysiological mechanisms determining sex differences in circulating levels of cardiac natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins

Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine, 2019
It is well known that adult fertile women have about two-fold higher circulating levels of cardiac natriuretic peptides (NPs) than men of the same age.

ALS With and Without Upper Motor Neuron Signs: A Comparative Study Supporting the Gold Coast Criteria

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The Gold Coast criteria permit diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) even without upper motor neuron (UMN) signs. However, whether ALS patients with UMN signs (ALSwUMN) and those without (ALSwoUMN) share similar characteristics and prognoses remains unclear.

Beyond Acute Coronary Syndromes: Troponins as Diagnostic and Prognostic Tools in Heart Failure

Biomedicines
Heart failure (HF) is a challenging syndrome, affecting 64 million people worldwide, and is associated with high mortality rates. There are several potential biomarkers that help us diagnose the disease as well as help us assess the prognosis.

High-sensitivity cardiac troponins: sex-specific values in clinical practice. Precision or confusion?

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Cardiac troponins are pivotal in the evaluation of patients who suffer from acute chest pain, and the introduction of the high-sensitivity cardiac troponins (hs-cTn) has shown that there are differences between male and female patients.

Microfluidic Modeling of Macrophage‐Induced Cardiac Inflammation Using NF‐κB Reporter Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A cardiac inflammation model was developed to enable real‐time analysis of macrophage‐cardiomyocyte interactions using NF‐κB‐reporter cardiomyocytes and a microfluidic co‐culture system. A MATLAB‐based model was implemented to optimize cell density and medium resupply based on TNFα diffusion kinetics. Activation thresholds and stress responses in NF‐κB‐

Measurement of troponin in cardiomyopathies

Cardiogenetics, 2016
Troponins are thin myofilament proteins that regulate the contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle. The cardio-specific troponin I (TnI) and T (TnT) proteins are sensitive and specific biomarkers of myocardial injury which over the past twenty years ...
