Troponin I testing in dialysis patients presenting to the emergency room: does troponin I predict the 30-day outcome?
In acutely ill chronic dialysis patients presenting to a hospital emergency room, an elevated cTnI level indicates an increased 30-day cardiac risk, regardless of their clinical presentation.
We found a positive association between the BDNF gene Val66Met polymorphism and ADHD, and this association was observed specifically in the ADHD-C subtype and not the ADHD-predominantly inattentive subtype. Our findings support that the Val66Met polymorphism of BDNF gene might be involved in the pathogenesis of ADHD. Furthermore Val66Met polymorphism of BDNF gene may be more closely associated with hyperactivity rather than inattention.
