Article Synopsis
- Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is an enzyme linked to heart failure (HF), and this study examines its serum levels in various HF types.
- Researchers analyzed serum GSK3β levels in 112 HF patients and 50 healthy controls, employing echocardiographic evaluations and statistical analyses to determine significance.
- Results indicated that GSK3β levels were significantly elevated in HF patients compared to controls, with highest levels in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and lowest in reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), suggesting a potential protective mechanism related to ejection fraction.*
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the serum glucose-potassium ratio could predict in-hospital mortality among patients in coronary care units.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 3,100 patients, identifying several independent predictors of mortality, including the glucose-potassium ratio, which demonstrated a significant correlation with in-hospital death.
- Findings revealed that incorporating the glucose-potassium ratio into mortality prediction models increased the accuracy of identifying at-risk patients.
Objective: The MORtality in CORonary Care Units in Türkiye (MORCOR-TURK) trial is a national registry evaluating predictors and rates of in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit (CCU) patients in Türkiye. This report describes the baseline demographic characteristics of patients recruited for the MORCOR-TURK trial.
Methods: The study is a multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective national registry that included 50 centers capable of 24-hour CCU service, selected from all seven geographic regions of Türkiye.
Motor Lateralization May Be Influenced by Long-Term Piano Playing Practice.
Percept Mot Skills
February 2019
Motor lateralization is viewed as anatomical or functional asymmetry of the two sides of the body. Functional motor asymmetry can be influenced by musical practice. This study explored whether piano playing experience modulates motor asymmetry and leads to an altered pattern of hand selection, reflecting an altered handedness.
