Quantitative Analysis of Troponin I Serum Values in Patients with Acute Cholecystitis [PDF]

, 2012
The diagnosis and staging of acute cholecystitis, upon a lot of diagnostic methods and some scoring systems, is still a great clinical problem. The aim of the study was to investigate if serum Troponin I is elevated in patients with acute cholecystitis ...

Frontiers in Nondrug Treatment of Sarcopenia: A Review of Pathological Mechanisms and the Latest Treatment Strategies

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
This article mainly introduces the pathologic process of sarcopenia and the recent progress in diagnosis and treatment, especially the nondrug treatment. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia refers to the progressive decline and wasting of skeletal muscle function, typically linked to aging or as a secondary effect of various conditions, including systemic inflammation,

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 ...

Degradation of Cardiac Troponin I in Serum Complicates Comparisons of Cardiac Troponin I Assays [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 1999
AbstractBackground: Up to a 20-fold variation in serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration may be observed for a given patient sample with different analytical methods. Because more limited variation is seen for control materials and for purified cTnI, we explored the possibility that cTnI was present in altered forms in serum.Methods: We used four

Nanoparticulate Copper Cluster-Mediated Biosensing of Cardiac Biomolecular Markers

Biosensors
Being a leading cause of death, heart diseases across the globe need special attention to enable early diagnosis. Metal nanoparticle-mediated biosensors are useful clinical tools for the early detection of bio-analytes. The size-dependent surface plasmon

Protective effects of allicin against stanozolol‐induced cardiotoxicity: Physiological and histopathological evidence in a rabbit model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
There are many forms of anabolic steroids, including stanzolo (Winstrol), which are popular for their muscle‐building effects but dangerous to the heart. This present work is aimed at evaluating the pharmacological impact of allacin, a natural attribute obtained from garlic on obstructing cardiac injury in rabbits that received stanzolo.

Phosphatemia is an Independent Prognostic Factor in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of several muscle damage biomarkers. Methods Data from Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (PARALS) were considered for this study. Survival was defined as the time from diagnosis to death, tracheostomy, or the censoring date.

Prognostic importance of emerging cardiac, inflammatory, and renal biomarkers in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and anaemia: RED-HF study [PDF]

, 2018
Aims: To test the prognostic value of emerging biomarkers in the Reduction of Events by Darbepoetin Alfa in Heart Failure (RED-HF) trial. Methods and results: Circulating cardiac [N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and high ...

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Aminated graphene nanosheet stimulates the maturation of hiPSCs‐derived cardiomyocytes in vitro and enhances their survival in vivo

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Aminated graphene (G‐NH2) niche matrix plays a pivotal role in precisely manipulating cardiac differentiation and maturation of hiPSCs. The molecular mechanism underlying cardiomyocyte maturation is closely linked to the PDGF‐β signaling pathway. Cardiomyocytes derived from the G‐NH2 matrix exhibit enhanced activity and functionality in vivo.
