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.

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin t concentrations below the limit of detection to exclude acute myocardial infarction: a prospective evaluation.

Clinical Chemistry, 2015
BACKGROUND Initial reports suggest that concentrations of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) (Roche Diagnostics Elecsys(®)) below the limit of blank (LoB) (3 ng/L) or limit of detection (LoD) (5 ng/L) of the assay have almost 100% negative ...

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.

Diagnostic Values of Troponin I and T for Prediction of Mortality in Patients Hospitalized in Intensive care Unit and Need Hemodialysis in Alzahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran, during 2015-16

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2017
Background: Some of previous studies showed that risk of mortality in patients who need hemodialysis and hospitalized in intensive care unit is higher but and biomarker is not detected for prediction of mortality in these patients.

High-sensitive cardiac troponin T measurements in prediction of non-cardiac complications after major abdominal surgery.

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2015
BACKGROUND Postoperative non-cardiac complication rates are as high as 11-28% after high-risk abdominal procedures. Emerging evidence indicates that postoperative cardiac troponin T elevations are associated with adverse outcome in non-cardiac surgery ...

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.

Impact of Diabetes on Long‐Term Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

Serum Cardiac Troponin-I is Superior to Troponin-T as a Marker for Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Clinically Stable Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background Serum troponin assays, widely used to detect acute cardiac ischemia, might be useful biomarkers to detect chronic cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Stent Fracture of Biolimus‐Eluting Stent (Biofreedom) Complicated With Micro‐Coronary Artery Aneurysm

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coronary stent fractures (SFs) are an emerging complication of coronary stents. There are numerous risk factors for SF, which include vessel angulation, use of sirolimus‐eluting stent (SES), long stents, multiple stent layers, stent overlap, inflammation, hypersensitivity, stenting in the right coronary artery, heavy calcification, ostial ...
