Glutamine decreases myocardial damage in ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the cardioprotective effect of glutamine after burn injury remains unclear. Present study was to explore the protective effect of glycyl-glutamine dipeptide on myocardial damage in severe burn rats. Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control (C), burned control (B) and glycyl-glut...

KT encodes commonsense knowledge (CK) about entities and relations in a cross-classified Ontology and a database of generic (prototypical and inherent) information. The verb Ontology combines linguistic and psycholinguistic classification. The generic information for verbs encodes typical associations with actions and events. This knowledge base is useful for word-sense disambiguation, inferenc...

It is not uncommon for a rheumatologist to get a request for evaluating a patient with persistent elevation of serum creatine (phospho) kinase (CK) level (hyper-CK-emia) especially if this laboratory abnormality is persistent. We present a descriptive analysis of 16 consecutive adult patients seen with a condition called idiopathic benign hyper-CK-emia at a tertiary care Rheumatology Clinic in ...

BACKGROUND Serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentrations may be increased in patients with renal dysfunction without evidence of cardiac damage, as assessed by conventional methods. It has been suggested that these positive measurements result from the expression in skeletal muscle of fetal isoforms of cTnT, which are detected by the cTnT immunoassay. METHODS Skeletal muscle (exterior obliqu...
