Abstract
Cardiac troponin represents a sensitive and specific marker of ischemic myocardial damage in adult and neonatal populations. Cardiac function in neonates could be influenced by the severity of respiratory distress and its ventilatory management. This short review summarizes the experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of cardiac troponin in assessment of cardiac function, in following findings: neonatal intensive care, respiratory distress syndrome, asphyxia, congenital heart disease and post cardiac surgery.

Medicinal Plants with Beneficial Properties on Diabetes and Hypertension
Diabetes and hypertension are real scourges of the 21st century. It is imperative to act in order to find innovative solutions to this problem. Taking medications such as hypoglycemic and antihypertensive drugs may aggravate certain underlying comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. This significant drawback therefore requires ...read more
