To date there is compelling in vitro and in vivo evidence for epidermal H 2 O 2 accumulation
in vitiligo. This paper reviews the literature and presents new data on oxidative stress in the …

Elucidation of the physiologically distinct subunits of troponin in 1973 greatly facilitated our
understanding of cardiac contraction. Although troponins are expressed in both skeletal and …

The cardiac troponins form part of the regulatory mechanism for muscle contraction. Specific
cardiac isoforms of cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I exist and commercially …

Background: Diagnosis of cardiac ischaemia in patients attending emergency departments
(ED) with symptoms of acute coronary syndromes is often difficult. Cardiac troponin (cTn) is …

Background—Ischemia modified albumin (IMA; Ischemia Technologies, Inc) blood levels
rise in patients who develop ischemia during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is …

MATERIALS AND METHODS All reagents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Poole, Dorset,
UK) and normal human serum from the North London Transfusion Service (London, UK) …

PURPOSE: Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a highly specific marker of myocardial damage and
used clinically in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Release of cTnT has …

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to assess whether the mitral peak Doppler E-wave to peak
mitral annulus velocity ratio (E/Ea) estimates left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP) and …

The diagnosis of cardiac ischemia remains a challenge in contemporary emergency
medicine. A blood-borne biomarker is an attractive alternative to cardiac imaging or stress …

Aims The study evaluated the use of age-related decision limits for N-terminal pro-B-type
natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), for ruling out suspected systolic dysfunction in symptomatic …
