Background: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cTnT are the established biomarkers of cardiomyocyte damage and the recommended biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI). High-sensitivity immunochemical diagnostic systems are able to measure the cTn concentrations in the blood of a majority of healthy people. At the same time, the concentration of cTn may be increased not only after MI but also because of other pathologies that might affect myocardium. This effect reduces the clinical specificity of cTn for MI and may complicate the diagnosis.
Content: This review summarizes the existing information regarding the causes and mechanisms that lead to the increase of cTn concentration in blood and the forms of cTn that are present in circulation after MI or other types of myocardial injury.
Summary: Different etiologies of disease associated with increases of cTn above the 99th percentile and various mechanisms of troponin release from myocardium could result in the appearance of different forms of cTn in blood and provide the first clinical evidence of injury. Additional research is needed for the careful characterization of cTn forms that are present in the blood in different clinical settings. That knowledge may lead to the development of immunochemical systems that would differentiate certain forms of troponins and possibly certain types of cardiac disease.

The BMT CTN 1703 phase III trial confirmed that graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus (Tac), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) results in superior GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) compared with Tac/methotrexate (MTX) prophylaxis. This companion study assesses the effect of these regimens on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Using the Lee Chronic GVHD Symptom Score and PROMIS subscales (physical function, GI symptoms, social role satisfaction) as primary end points and hemorrhagic cystitis symptoms and Lee subscales as secondary end points, responses from English and Spanish speakers were analyzed at baseline and days 100, 180, and 365 after transplant.

Guilloz Imaging Department, Central Hospital, University Hospital Center of Nancy, 29 Avenue du Marechal de Lattre de Tassigny, 54000, Nancy, France.
Background: We evaluated the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) computed tomography (CT)-like sequences compared to normal-resolution CT (NR-CT) and super-high-resolution CT (SHR-CT) for planning of cochlear implantation.
Methods: Six cadaveric temporal bone specimens were used. 3-T MRI scans were performed using radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold (STARVIBE), pointwise-encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA), and ultrashort time of echo (UTE) sequences.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents a significant treatment challenge, necessitating effective antimicrobial options. This retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted at Dammam Medical Complex and aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), ceftolozane-tazobactam (C-T), and meropenem and colistin in treating MDR P. aeruginosa infections.

Background: Qi Li Qiang Xin (QLQX) capsule has a solid theoretical basis and clinical efficacy in the treatment of chronic heart failure; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. This study was designed to determine the effect of the QLQX on the treatment of heart failure and delineate the underlying mechanisms via a nontargeted metabolomics and lipidomics approach.
Methods: A rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) was established via permanent ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery.
