Ferroptosis as a potential connection between schizophrenia and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease - a narrative review.

Purpose: Schizophrenia is a chronic condition that is associated with various comorbidities, including metabolic ones. Particular attention has been paid to the metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the liver equivalent of the metabolic syndrome. It is postulated that ferroptosis, a form of novel cell death connected with iron overload and lipid peroxidation, may be an interplaying factor in both of these conditions.

[Usefulness of determining creatine kinase BB isoenzyme activity in early diagnosis of myocardial infarction].

The value of radioimmunoassay for creatine kinase BB isoenzyme (CK-BB) determination in early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was estimated. The clinical material consisted of 35 randomly selected patients admitted to a coronary care unit during the 4 h after chest pain suspected for myocardial infarction. In all patients standard 12 lead electrocardiograms were obtained on admission and at 24, 48 and 72 hours after admission.
