BACKGROUND This systematic review summarized recent evidence pertaining to the clinical effectiveness of 64-slice or higher computed tomography angiography (CTA) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). If CTA proves to be a successful diagnostic performance measure, it could prevent the use of invasive diagnostic procedures in some patients. This would provide multiple health ...

The aim of this literature review was to consider the diagnostic value potential biomarkers detection: citrulline and intestinal proteins, designed detect mucosa damage. Conclusion : determination I-FABP I-BABP in blood are promising methods for non-invasive diagnosis damage, since these proteins released from damaged enterocytes. However, is important combination with citrulline. Several studi...
