Aim. To study the association between a positive results of Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP) test with the development of adverse outcomes during the year of observation in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) depending on the type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) presence.Material and methods. The study included 153 patients with NSTEACS hospitalized in the department of emergency cardiology in the period from March 2014 to January 2017. In addition to the standard examination, all patients underwent a qualitative analysis on the h-FABP in venous blood. Results. Kaplan–Meier estimator demonstrated a significant probability of a combined end point in patients with positive h-FABP, both with and without DM-2. H-FABP also acts as a marker for the development of adverse outcomes during the year after NSTE-ACS. Patients with adverse outcomes and type 2 diabetes mellitus had the highest frequency (100%) of positive test reactions.Conclusion. H-FABP positive test when admitted to hospital may be considered as a predictor of adverse long-term outcomes in patients with NSTE-ACS. That statistics is most significant for patients with DM-2.
Nodular phosphorites are common in the Turonian to Maastrichtian deposits (sands, silts and clays) of the Yenisei Mouth Depression in the north of the Siberian Platform. Only the silty clays of Campanian age are non-phosphatic. Study of the fine-grained fraction (<2 µm) of these deposits demonstrates that the phosphorite-bearing parts of the succession contain similar clay mineral assemblages. These consist of kaolinite and chlorite, with a small but constant admixture of gibbsite, and in some cases a small amount of montmorillonite. In the non-phosphatic rocks of the Campanian, clay minerals consist only of montmorillonite and chlorite. Kaolinite and gibbsite are completely absent. It is argued that the clay mineralogy and other data suggest that the formation of the phosphorites was linked to the removal of phosphorus from continental areas during periods of intense weathering in a humid subtropical climate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
