Distribution of cTnI during AMI When AMI and myocardial cell damage occurs: The free cTnI in cardiac muscle is rele...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) virus and resulting COVID‐19 pandemic present important diagnostic evaluation challenges. These range from understanding the value of signs and symptoms in predicting possible infection, assessing whether existing biochemical and imaging tests can identify infection and people needing critical care, and evaluating whether new diagnos...
Summary Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a worldwide pandemic with millions infected. The immune responses of human body to the severe COVID-19 have been well studied, and a number of antibody-based assays have been developed for serological studies.
