Background and Objectives:  The aim of this study was to survey the relationship between the level of  creatinine,cardiac troponins serum and the function of  the left ventricle in patients with  kidney insufficiency,without acute coronary syndrome. Materialsand Methods:The sample  was150 patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease without  acute  coronary  syndrome,  hospitalized  at  I...

foot and mouth disease (fmd) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hooved livestock and wildlife results to relatively high mortality in young animals. despite the numerous reports of fmd-related death in neonates, there is little data available on various aspects of fmd in lambs. this report describes myocarditis associated with fmd in five, one week to three months old lambs. the lam...

Objective(s): Diazinon (DZ) is an organophosphate pesticide that induces oxidative damage in different organs. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of nanomicelles containing curcuminoids (NCUR) and natural curcumin (CUR) in attenuating the oxidative damage induced by DZ in male rats. Materials and Methods: After a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection of DZ (100 mg/kg), the r...

We describe an improved procedure using a standard microplate immunoassay reader to measure the concentration of troponin T in human serum. We also describe an immunoassay for troponin I in serum. Only 160 microliters of serum are needed for a single analysis of each troponin. For comparison, creatine kinase MB mass analysis in serum was performed with a commercial luminometric method. From 95 ...

Background: Cardiac troponin test is used in detecting various heart disorders. The objective of this study was to establish normal reference levels for serum cardiac Troponin I which could be utilized for selection of vaccines and determine any electrocardiogram (EKG) changes among healthy volunteers. Methods: A total of 263 healthy blood donors from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania were included in th...

The diagnosis and staging of acute cholecystitis, upon a lot of diagnostic methods and some scoring systems, is still a great clinical problem. The aim of the study was to investigate if serum Troponin I is elevated in patients with acute cholecystitis. Following informed consent, 65 patients with clinical and laboratory signs of acute cholecystitis were enrolled. All patients had measured seru...
