1. Intracellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue : role of creatine kinase
Abstract : During intense physical activity the maximal power output of skeletal muscles is reduced, a condition described as muscle fatigue. The cause of impaired muscle function seen in fatigue is multifactorial. READ MORE

2. Infrared spectroscopic studies : from small molecules to large
Abstract : Infrared light (IR) was first discovered by Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel in 1800. However, until 1940’s, molecular IR studies involved only water and small organic molecules, because of the long measurement times. READ MORE

3. Perioperative Myocardial Damage and Morbidity after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Abstract : The aims of this project were to investigate the impact of perioperative myocardial damage on morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), to determine whether biochemical marker levels after CABG correlate to perioperative myocardial infarct size, and to assess the long-term morbidity after CABG, in particular to determine whether women do worse.The studies were conducted in patients who had undergone isolated, primary CABG.

4. Development of low affinity techniques for applications in clinical chemistry
Abstract : An increase in the plasma level of creatine kinase MB (CKMB) has long been used to indicate acute myocardial infarction (AMI). For optimal treatment an early diagnosis is important. An increase in the ratio between the two isoforms of CKMB is seen much earlier than an increase in the total level of CKMB. READ MORE

5. Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Relationship between Duration of Ischaemia and Infarct Size in Humans - Assessment by MRI and SPECT
Abstract : The effect of duration of ischaemia on final infarct size is well established in animal studies, but not fully evaluated in humans. Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) can be used to distinguish between viable and non-viable myocardium and thus to quantify infarct size. READ MORE
