Troponine : les faux positifs

Introduction: La troponine est un marqueur biologique bien reconnupour sa cardiospécificité et la détection précoce de la nécrosemyocardique. Le dosage de la troponine fait partie de la stratificationdu syndrome coronarien aigu (SCA) et est fréquemment utilisé dans lebilan initial lors de douleurs thoraciques. Cependant, d'autrespathologies sont également associées à une élévation de la troponine.Le but de ce travail est de décrire les diagnostics retenus chez despatients admis aux urgences avec une douleur thoracique et uneélévation de la troponine.Méthode: Durant une période de 18 mois (de novembre 2008 à mai2010), 1242 patients admis aux urgences avec une douleur thoraciqueont eu un dosage de la troponine positive (>= 0,1 microg/l). Undiagnostic de SCA a été posé chez 709 patients (57%). Chez les533 autres patients (43%) un autre diagnostic a été retenu.Résultats: Les 533 patients (295 hommes, âge moyen 71 ± 19 anset 238 femmes, 77 ±16 ans) présentaient une valeur de troponinemoyenne (TM) à 1,12 ± 4 microg/l. Parmi ce collectif, 192 patients(36%) avaient un diagnostic d'insuffisance cardiaque (TM 1,18microg/l), 118 patients (22%) un diagnostic autre (anémie, AVC, chutesans traumatisme) (TM 1,65 microg/l), 46 patients (8%) présentaientune pneumonie (TM 0,95 microg /l), 45 patients (8%) une arythmiecardiaque sans signes de décompensation cardiaque (TM 0,42 microg/l), 35 patients (6,5%) un traumatisme (TM 0,52 microg /l), 25 patients(4,7%) une insuffisance rénale sévère (TM 0,74 microg /l), 23 patients(4%) une insuffisance respiratoire (BPCO, fibrose pulmonaire, autrespneumopathies) (TM 1,63 microg /l), 23 patients (4,3%) un contexteinfectieux (choc septique, bactériémie) (TM 0,96 microg /l), 18 patients(3%) une embolie pulmonaire (TM 0,30 microg /l) et 8 patients (1,5%)un Takotsubo ou angor de prinzmétal (TM 1,73 microg /l).A signaler que la TM pour les 709 patients présentant un diagnostic deSCA était de 3,61 microg /l.Conclusion: Ce travail montre que près de 50% des patients arrivantaux urgences avec une douleur thoracique et une troponine positive ontun diagnostic autre qu'un SCA.

An Investigation of the Chemical Method of Determining the Cement Content of Hardened Concrete, MLR-71-01 and R-248, 1971

The Iowa State Highway Commission Laboratory is called upon to determine the cement content of hardened concrete when field problems relating to batch weights are encountered. The standard test for determining the cement content is ASTM C-85. An investigation of this method by the New Jersey State Highway Department involving duplicate samples and four cooperating laboratories produced very erratic results, however, the results obtained by this method have not been directly compared to known cement contents of concrete made with various cements and various aggregates used in Iowa.

Improvement of rehabilitation possibilities with the MotionMaker (TM)

"MotionMaker (TM)" is a stationary programmable test and training system for the lower limbs developed at the 'Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne' with the 'Fondation Suisse pour les Cybertheses'.. The system is composed of two robotic orthoses comprising motors and sensors, and a control unit managing the trans-cutaneous electrical muscle stimulation with real-time regulation. The control of the Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) induced muscle force necessary to mimic natural exercise is ensured by the control unit which receives a continuous input from the position and force sensors mounted on the robot. First results with control subjects showed the feasibility of creating movements by such closed-loop controlled FES induced muscle contractions. To make exercising with the MotionMaker (TM) safe for clinical trials with Spinal Cord Injured (SCI) volunteers, several original safety features have been introduced. The MotionMaker (TM) is able to identify and manage the occurrence of spasms. Fatigue can also be detected and overfatigue during exercise prevented.
