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]
, 2014 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 ...

Dynamic Light Scattering from Semidilute Actin Solutions: A Study of Hydrodynamic Screening, Filament Bending Stiffness and the Effect of Tropomyosin/Troponin-Binding [PDF]
, 1995 Quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) is applied to investigate the effect of the tropomyosin/troponin complex (Tm/Tn) on the stiffness of actin filaments. The importance of hydrodynamic screening in semidilute solutions is demonstrated. A new concentration dependent expression for the dynamic structure factor $g(\bm k,t)$ of semiflexible polymers in ...

The 99th percentile of reference population for cTnI and cTnT assay: Methodology, pathophysiology and clinical implications [PDF]
, 2017 According to recent international guidelines, including the 2012 Third Universal Definiton of Myocardial Infarction by the Joint ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF Task Force, an increase in cardiac troponin (cTn) levels over the 99th percentile upper reference limit ...

Troponins, Acute Coronary Syndrome and Renal Disease: From Acute Kidney Injury Through End-stage Kidney Disease [PDF]
, 2019 The diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is heavily dependent on cardiac biomarker assays, particularly cardiac troponins. ACS, particularly non-ST segment elevation MI, are more common in patients with acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (

The value of troponin assays in modern medical practice [PDF]
, 2016 Cardiac troponins – C, I and T – form part of the troponin complex which is involved in the regulation of the calcium-mediated interaction of actin and myosin in myocytes. Each troponin has a different role in the above mentioned complex.

Area preserving isotopies of self transverse immersions of S^1 in R^2 [PDF]
Ark. Mat., 51(1):85-97, 2013, 2016 Let C and C' be two smooth self transverse immersions of S^1 into R^2. Both C and C' subdivide the plane into a number of disks and one unbounded component. An isotopy of the plane which takes C to C' induces a 1-1 correspondence between the disks of C and C'.
