Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) derived left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) for evaluating dilated cardiomyopathy patients has been addressed in studies with contradictory results. We therefore performed the first systematic review evaluating evidence on the prognostic value of CMR derived LV-GLS for ischaemic (IDCM) and non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NDCM) patients. Systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42020171582) identified studies up to January 2021 that measured LV-GLS for predicting major adverse cardiac events among dilated cardiomyopathy patients.

The effect of nonpathogenic G+ bacterium B. firmus (BF) on stimulation of mouse peritoneal cells in vitro was evaluated by testing nitric-oxide-synthesis induction and cytokine formation. The reactivity was compared of peritoneal cells from two inbred mouse strains, C57B1/6 and BALB/c, which differ in their immunological reactivity.

The effect of controlled antigenic stimulation in immunologically virgin organisms, i.e. pig fetuses treated with NDCM (Nocardia delipidated cell mitogen) and germ-free (GF) piglets associated with a non-pathogenic E.

Immunoglobulin (Ig) response to different polyclonal B-cell activators was measured by ELISA in cell culture media of thymocytes, splenocytes and liver cells isolated from pig fetuses, 8-d-old germ-free piglets and conventionally reared pigs. Both in fetal and in postnatal life polyclonally stimulated lymphocytes were found to produce predominantly the IgM isotype; the first IgM formation was detected in 50-d-old fetal liver (gestation in pigs lasts 114 d). Surprisingly, 73-d-old fetal thymic cells were shown to be induced to Ig synthesis and secretion.
