The in vivo expression of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) BamHI-A rightward transcripts (BARTs) as well as the putative BART-encoded BARF0 and RK-BARF0 proteins in various EBV-associated malignancies was investigated. RT-PCRs specific for the different splice variants of the BARTs and both a nucleic acid sequence-based amplification assay and an RT-PCR specific for the BARF0 ORF were used. Abundan...

Background: Troponin-I (TN-I) levels are elevated following pediatric cardiac surgery with speculation that particular patterns may have prognostic significance. There is lack of procedure-specific data regarding postoperative TN-I in infants undergoing surgery. Aim and objectives: the aim study was to assess usefulness routine monitoring troponin I concentrations within 24 hours (cTn-I<24h)...
