โฆ Synopsis
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is highly specific for cardiac muscle. In this study, we compared the utility of CK and CK-MB index versus cTnI in the assessment of myocardial infarction in 155 patients being evaluated for myocardial damage. As a cardiac marker for MI, Troponin I seems to be superior to CK-MB. In the subset of patients with renal disease, cTnI has definite advantages over CK-MB. In addition, the use of cTnI has the potential to replace the measurement of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes.

In vertebrate skeletal muscle, contraction is initiated by the elevation of the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration. The binding of Ca 2+ to TnC induces a series of conformational changes which ultimately release the inhibition of the actomyosin ATPase activity by Tnl. In this study we have characteri
The primary objective of this article is to examine the impact of preconsumption affect on consumers' postpurchase evaluations. More specifically, we wanted to investigate how the two basic dimensions of affect -pleasure and arousal -contribute to customer evaluations of different types of services.
