Elucidating associations between technetium pyrophosphate scintigraphy, echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis by Bennett Di Giovanni, Dakota Gustafson, Priya Arivalagan, Mitchell B Adamson, Julie Vishram-Nielsen, Diego Delgado

“…Conversely, the heart-to-contralateral lung ratio, a quantitative index derived from 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy, did not show significant correlations with cardiac biomarkers (logBNP and logTroponin), but demonstrated significant associations with LV mass (β=134.52, p=0.001) and IVSd (β=0.46, p=0.002) in patients with ATTRm.Conclusions These data suggest strong associations exist between cardiac biomarkers, structural echocardiographic changes and 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy, emphasising the importance of a multipronged diagnostic approach stratified by genotype.…”

Leptin receptor signaling mediates the distinct tendon–bone interface reconstruction in rotator cuff tears and osteoporosis-comorbid rotator cuff tears by Dongxu Zhu, Xinrui Zhu, Yingze Zhang, Xiaohong Huang

“…Abstract Background The intact tendon–bone interface (TBI) consists of four histological layers—tendon, fibrocartilage, calcified fibrocartilage, and bone—that gradually merge into each other, making complete structural restoration after injury challenging. Osteoporosis poses a significant risk for rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and re-tears after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). …”
