背景情况:
- 人类的衰老与逐渐的视网膜稀释有关.
- rhesus macaques 呈现出与年龄相似的生理和行为变化.
- 光学连贯断层扫描 (OCT) 允许对视网膜微观结构进行高分辨率可视化.
研究的目的:
- 用OCT来评估 rhesus与年龄相关的视网膜微结构变化.
- 在这个灵长类动物模型中,以确定随着年龄的增长而变薄的特定视网膜层.
主要方法:
- 在18只老年 rhesus macaques的36只眼睛上进行了光谱域OCT成像.
- 一个定制的细分算法自动测量了视网膜层厚度,并进行手动校正以提高准确度.
- 简单的线性回归分析了视网膜层厚度和年龄之间的关系.
主要成果:

749
Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
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...

01:19Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers
516
Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
Natriuretic Peptides (BNP)
Cardiac myocytes produce these hormones in response to ventricular stretching...
