Cardiac troponin I but not cardiac troponin T adheres to polysulfone dialyser membranes in an in vitro haemodialysis model: explanation for lower serum cTnI concentrations following dialysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease. Differences in cTn concentrations between cTnT and cTnI have been reported but the mechanism of such discrepancy has not been ...

Homo in Machina: Improving Fuzz Testing Coverage via Compartment Analysis [PDF]
Fuzz testing is often automated, but also frequently augmented by experts who insert themselves into the workflow in a greedy search for bugs. In this paper, we propose Homo in Machina, or HM-fuzzing, in which analyses guide the manual efforts, maximizing benefit. As one example of this paradigm, we introduce compartment analysis.

Increased adaptive immune responses and proper feedback regulation protect against clinical dengue [PDF]
Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral disease. Clinical symptoms of dengue virus (DENV) infection range from classical mild dengue fever to severe, life-threatening dengue shock syndrome. However, most DENV infections cause few or no symptoms.

Nigral diffusivity, but not free water, correlates with iron content in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
The loss of melanized neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta is a primary feature in Parkinson's disease (PD). Iron deposition occurs in conjunction with this loss. Loss of nigral neurons should remove barriers for diffusion and increase diffusivity of water molecules in regions undergoing this loss.

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome [PDF]
The term abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) describes the clinical manifestations of the pathologic elevation of the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). When the IAP exceeds 12 mm Hg it is referred to as intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) while ACS generally sets in at an IAP in excess of 20 mm Hg.
