With a new immunoenzymometric assay we measured human glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB (GPBB) in 116 healthy individuals, 14 patients with stable angina, 107 nontraumatic chest pain patients on admission to the emergency department [45 acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 49 unstable angina, 13 other diseases], and in serial samples from 41 AMI patients. GPBB was compared with creatine kinase ...

In five patients who were treated for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) with pleuropneumonectomy and intraoperative photodynamic therapy (IPDT), impending myocardial damage was monitored using ECG, the classical biochemical markers (creatine kinase [CK], total activity; CKMB, mass; and myoglobin), and the new cardiac markers troponin I (cTnI) and troponin T (cTnT). In the peroperative and po...

Clinical and laboratory changes were evaluated in rabbits after intoxication by Amorimia rigida, a plant that causes sudden death. Nine New Zealand male rabbits, averaging 3.54 kg, were categorized into three groups (n = 3) and received, for eight consecutive days, the equivalent of 30 g/kg dry matter of A. rigida water-soluble (SG) and water-insoluble (IG) extracts via nasoesophageal route. Th...

Myocardial Infarction results from occlusion of the coronary artery and reactive oxygen species have an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction. The study population contained 56 subjects with Acute myocardial infarction divided into four groups, Group I ,11 patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension, Group II ,11 patients with Hypertension, Group III 17 patients Non s...

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are highly prevalent, morbid diseases in every population. They even more common among patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Objective: The present study was, conducted to see the outcome of ACS concurrent DM CKD. Methods: cohort was carried out Department Medicine, Dhaka Medical College & Hospital, over ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Foundation. Main source(s): Novo Nordisk Background After successful resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), patients who remain comatose often need hemodynamic support with vasoactive drugs in order to secure an adequate perfusion pressure vital organs. However, evidence regarding specific blood-pressure targets is sp...

Background: The main target of treatment STEMI is to restore coronary blood flow and maintain myocardial perfusion. Several tools including electrocardiographic angiographic parameters are used assess reperfusion. Fragmented QRS associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events, it was proved bea marker ventricular dysfunction poor prognosis in STEMI. Aim the work : To study relation betw...

We compared three current methods (immunoinhibition, "Isomune-CK" immunoprecipitation, and the Tandem-E CKMB II immunoenzymometric assay) for determination of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzyme MB in serum. Although results inter-correlated well, the immunoinhibition assay gave higher activity values. Atypical CK forms did not interfere with the immunoprecipitation and immunoenzymometri...
