Cobalt metabolism and toxicology are summarized. The biological functions of cobalt are
updated in the light of recent understanding of cobalt interference with the sensing in almost …

Acute intestinal ischemia is a relative rare abdominal emergency, associated with
considerably high morbidity and mortality rates. Although the conventional diagnostic …

Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a sensitive marker of myocardial ischemia, skeletal
muscle ischemia, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. However, there are no studies showing …

Aim: The main goal of the present study was the evaluation of ischemia-modified albumin
(IMA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and estimation of its connection with vascular …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated that ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a
useful marker for the diagnosis of ischemic events. It was also recently demonstrated that …

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common condition, but the diagnostic
strategy for the evaluation of suspected PE is somewhat controversial. Despite the use of …

OBJECTIVE: Opioids, including remifentanil, have been demonstrated to confer cardiac
protection against ischemia reperfusion injury in animals. This study evaluated whether …

Objectives: The objective was to determine the value of ischemia‐modified albumin (IMA) in
the diagnosis of mesenteric embolism. The authors investigated whether or not plasma IMA …

The diagnostic approach to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still one of the most
challenging and controversial medical issues. Although the measurement of cardiospecific …

Background: Oxidative stress is characterized by increased production of reactive oxygen
species resulting in the generation of lipid peroxides such as malondialdehyde (MDA). The …
