Prognostic Value of Elevated Cardiac Troponin I in Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients.

This study aimed to determine if cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is an independent predictor of clinical outcomes and whether higher values are associated with worse clinical outcomes in Covid-19 patients. This case-series study was conducted at Phoebe Putney Health System. Participants were confirmed Covid-19 patients admitted to our health system between March 2, 2020 and June 7, 2020.

Absorption into silicone rubber membranes from powders and aqueous solutions.

This study compared the rate and amount of absorption from aqueous solutions and pure powders of 3- and 4-cyanophenol (CP) into silicone rubber (SR) membranes. SR membranes were cast directly onto a zinc-selenide attenuated total reflectance (ATR) crystal, which was then mounted on a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. CP was presented to the SR membrane from aqueous solutions or powders sufficient to completely cover the membrane surface.
