Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum ferritin levels in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) patients with and without comorbid restless legs syndrome (RLS) or periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS), alongside control subjects.
- A total of 66 drug-free NT1 patients were analyzed, with no significant differences found in ferritin levels across the groups, indicating that brain iron metabolism may not play a role in the association between NT1 and these sleep disorders.
- The findings suggest that the coexistence of RLS or PLMS in NT1 patients does not stem from abnormal brain iron levels, challenging previous notions about the pathophysiology of these conditions.
Background: The link between hs-Tn and infarct size has already been proved in several articles. However few is known about the kinetic of the troponin and its link to the infarct characteristics, likewise MVO. Our primary objective was to study which hs-Tn characterizes the best infarction.

Design And Methods: One hundred and fifty-eight patients were included (mean age 60 years, SD 17 years), including 23 patients (14%) with NSTEMI.
Results: The analytical comparison highlighted a large heterogeneity of cTn assays, as reflected by percentages of patients with detectable cTn, correlation coefficients, Passing-Bablok comparisons and concordance coefficients.
Background: Our study investigated the biochemical and anthropometric characteristics in elite athletes of rugby union based in the south of France during the different periods of the competition to identify metabolic and biochemical adaptations to particular lifestyle conditions.
Methods: Participants included 35 players in 2008 and 43 players in 2009. Biochemical variables [creatinine, uric acid, creatine kinase (CK), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, C-reactive protein] were evaluated.
