the aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (nt-pro bnp) and nitric oxide (no) with echocardiography (gold standard test) in diagnosis of canine cardiomyopathy. out of 374 cases, 82 cases showing cardiovascular abnormalities including 16 cases of cardiomyopathy were further selected for standardization of biomarkers. significant (p

Background Respiratory Distress (RD) is a life-threatening respiratory failure. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in distinguishing respiratory and heart diseases in neonates. Materials and Methods Hundred fifty neonates aged 2-3 days randomly collected from those who hospitalized in the related ward of the Ali ...

  Background Seizures may occur in as many as 1% of children. The most urgent type of seizures is generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS). N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) has been considered as a promising biomarker in numerous acute illnesses. We aimed to evaluate usefulness of NT‐proBNP for diagnosis of g...

Acute decompensated heart failure is one of the most important causes of hospitalisation worldwide. Natriuretic peptides have shown their usefulness in the diagnosis and management of heart failure. Their variations during hospitalisation also appear useful to predict outcomes. In particular, data from the literature demonstrate that reduction from admission to discharge of brain natriuretic pe...

N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a versatile biomarker, that has been extensively studied in large cohorts of individuals in the general population, in subjects at risk for developing left ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular events, and in patients with chronic or acutely decompensated heart failure (HF). In this paper, the pros and cons of using natriure...

background: acute respiratory distress (ard) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. the aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of n-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (nt-pro bnp) and atrial natriuretic peptide(anp) in neonates...
