TL;DR: Results of the present investigation on patients with AMI established by accepted diagnostic criteria, testify that D-dimer testing would not add clinically meaningful information to the sole determination of the cardiospecific troponins 12–24 h after patient’s admission at the emergency department, when the cumulative data indicate that the diagnostic efficiency of cTnT is the highest.

TL;DR: D-dimer for the exclusion of venous thromboembolism: comparison of a new automated latex particle immunoassay (MDA D- dimer) with an established enzymelinked fluorescent assay (VIDAS D-Dimer).

TL;DR: It is documented that factor H acts by preventing the adhesion of sickle red cells to P-selectin and/or the Mac-1 receptor (CD11b/CD18), supporting the activation of the alternative pathway of complement as an additional mechanism in the pathogenesis of acute sickle cell related vaso-occlusive crises.

TL;DR: A large number of the subjects selected for this study had previously been diagnosed with central giant cell granuloma, which is a common complication of central nervous system disease.

TL;DR: In urinary exosomes the intraday variations of NCC and prostasin expression and the association with electrolytes and water balance parameters are analyzed.
