SERUM CREATINE KINASE AND ITS ISOENZYME CK-MB IN THE PREDICTION OF TUBAL ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Creatine kinase is an enzyme that its increase reflects tissue injury and could be useful in the diagnosis of tubal pregnancy. Objectives:To evaluate the diagnostic value

Elevação da isoenzima mb da creatinaquinase fora de um contexto de enfarte agudo do miocárdio.

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1998
The increased serum level of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase is a very useful test for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. However, there are several situations of false positives for this test that are scarcely mentioned in the standard ...

Movement Disorders in Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome and Response to Immunomodulation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study characterizes movement disorders and treatment responses in seven children with Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively evaluated motor phenotypes, neuroimaging, and interferon signatures in patients treated with baricitinib or anifrolumab. Spasticity affected all patients, while dystonia was present in 4/7.

Creatine Kinase Gene Mutation in a Patient with Muscle Creatine Kinase Deficiency [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2001
AbstractBackground: We describe a 56-year-old woman admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction without an increase of serum creatine kinase (CK) activity during her clinical course. She died on the 11th hospital day, and the diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy.

Developing and Evaluating a Laboratory‐Based Frailty Index for the Prediction of Long‐Term Health Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to construct and evaluate the first laboratory‐based frailty index (FI‐Lab) for predicting adverse outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to compare its predictive ability to that of an existing clinical FI. Methods We used data from a single‐center prospective cohort of adult patients with SLE whose baseline visit ...

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...
