Abstract:
Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by non-cardiogenic, acute and progressive respiratory failure mediated by a variety of injurious stimuli. ALI can progress to ARDS if an effective management is not taken. The mortality rate remains high due to the complex pathogenesis and ineffective management of ARDS. At present, effective treatment methods for ALI are not available and thus it is important to study the pathogenesis and early diagnosis of ALI. This article reviews some of the biomarkers associated with ALI, with a focus on early diagnosis and future studies.

Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
