: Thanks to the evolution of laboratory medicine, point-of-care testing (POCT) for troponin levels in the blood (hs-cTn) has been greatly improved in order to quickly diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with an accuracy similar to standard laboratory tests. The rationale of the HEART POCT study is to propose the application of the 0/1 h European Society of Cardiology (ESC) algorithm in the pre-hospital setting using a POCT device (Atellica VTLi). : This is a prospective study comparing patients who underwent pre-hospital point-of-care troponin testing (Atellica VTLi) with a control group that underwent standard hospital-based troponin testing (Elecsys).

Background: The mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa is an avascular structure near the left ventricular outflow tract, between the mitral and aortic valves. Mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa complications, such as tamponade, hemopericardium, and abscesses, are rare and often diagnosed postmortem. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic notably impacted pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases, who frequently presented cardiac complications including arrhythmias, elevated troponins, myocarditis, and heart failure.

To investigate the mechanism of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa on structural protein degradation and taste development of Jinhua ham, the effects of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Pichia kudriavzevii on proteolytic enzyme activities, surface hydrophobicity, myofibril microstructure, protein degradation, free amino acids and sensory attributes were investigated during the dry-ripening of Jinhua ham. The inoculation of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa EIODSF019 (RE) and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa XZY63-3 (RX) consistently exhibited higher proteolytic enzyme activities compared with Pichia kudriavzevii XS-5 (PK). The decrease of α-helix exposing more internal hydrophobic groups of myofibrillar proteins, contributed to higher surface hydrophobicity of RE compared with PK and RX.

, a crustacean of substantial importance, is a frequent trigger of food allergies. This study examined the molecular and immunological properties of troponin C from (Scy p TnC) as an allergen. The findings indicated that thermal stability of Scy p TnC comprised 150 amino acids and facilitated the induction of CD63/CD203c in basophils from crab allergy patients.

Background: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be far greater than that in the general population. Adropin regulates endothelial function and may play a role in the pathogenesis of CVD. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) treatment was reported to have a protective effect on both renal and cardiovascular function.
