The prognostic value of postoperative cardiac troponin I and T for major adverse cardiac events after coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review

BJA Open
Background: This systematic review describes the prognostic value of postoperative cardiac high-sensitive troponin I and T as risk markers for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and their predictive ...

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 (

Nerve Excitability in Asymptomatic Carriers and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients With C9orf72

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the effects of C9orf72 mutation carriership on peripheral nerve excitability in asymptomatic individuals from families with a history of C9orf72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and patients. Methods We included 47 asymptomatic individuals from families with a history of C9orf72 ALS, of whom 23 were carriers (C9 ...

Anti–Cardiac Troponin Autoantibodies Are Specific to the Conformational Epitopes Formed by Cardiac Troponin I and Troponin T in the Ternary Troponin Complex [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2017
Abstract BACKGROUND Autoantibodies to cardiac troponins (TnAAbs) could negatively affect cardiac troponin I (cTnI) measurements by TnAAbs-sensitive immunoassays. We investigated the epitope specificity of TnAAbs and its influence on cTnI immunodetection in patients with acute myocardial infarction ...

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.
