Screening for Fatal Traumatic Brain Injuries in Cerebrospinal Fluid Using Blood-Validated CK and CK–MB Immunoassays [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 A single, specific, sensitive biochemical biomarker that can reliably diagnose a traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not yet been found, but combining different biomarkers would be the most promising approach in clinical and postmortem settings. In addition,

False-Positive Elevation of CK-MB Levels with Chest Pain in Lung Adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Case Reports in Oncology, 2020 The creatinine kinase (CK)-MB assay can be used for the early diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. We describe the case of an 82-year-old male with lung adenocarcinoma who presented with chest pain. While laboratory findings showed elevated CK-MB levels,

Elevated CK-MB levels are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in acute pancreatitis: a propensity score-matched study [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 AimCardiac injury, reflected by the measured concentrations of chemicals released from injured cardiac muscle, is common in acute pancreatitis (AP). However, there is no adequate evidence assessing the impact of cardiac injury on AP-related outcomes ...

Peak CK-MB has a strong association with chronic scar size and wall motion abnormalities after revascularized non-transmural myocardial infarction - a prospective CMR study. [PDF]
BMC Cardiovasc Disord, 2018 Background: Large myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling (LVR). We studied the nature of LVR, with specific attention to non-transmural MIs, and the association of peak CK-MB with recovery and chronic phase
