In addition to pure MH which induces tumor cell death through local T elevation, this AMF-generated magneto-thermal effect can also be exploited as a relevant external stimulus to trigger a drug release from drug-loaded magnetic nanocarriers, temporally and spatially.
Cardiac troponin T elevation has previously been reported in patients with bacterial pneumonia [ 49].
There was a higher incidence of LV dysfunction and troponin T elevation in dialysis patients but there were no other significant differences between the two groups.
Shimada H, Nabeya Y, Okazumi S, Matsubara H, Shiratori T, Aoki T, Sugaya M, Miyazawa Y, Hayashi H, Miyazaki S, Ochiai T: Elevation of preoperative serum C-reactive protein level is related to poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
His resting ECG showed an irregular sinus rhythm with long sinus pauses, a just-demonstrable first degree AV block, and ST-T elevation in leads V1 and V2 (Fig. 1d).
A recent case report described a patient with angina (severe spontaneous chest pain with S-T elevation) who had a normal coronary angiogram and blood lead level of 33 μg/dL (Oneglia et al. 1998).
The father of the proband, subject II-6 was asymptomatic with a heart rate of 60 65 beats min−1 but had a resting ECG showing ST-T elevation in leads V1 and V2 (Fig. 1e), features confirmed by four independent repeat ECGs over 3 years.
PMI was defined as the combination of (1) creatine kinase- (CK-) MB level 5 times greater than the upper level of normal (>120 U/L) with a CK-MB fraction between 6 and 25% and (2) a cardiac troponin T elevation greater than 1.5 ng/mL during the first 72 h after surgery [ 15, 16].
This is consistent with the substantial proportion of T2DM patient with troponin T elevations above the 99th percentile found in the present dataset.
A definite ST elevation MI (STEMI) was diagnosed if typical electrocardiogram changes were present along with prolonged chest pain, refractory to sublingual nitrates, and/or enzyme or troponin T elevations (>0.1 µg/L).
