Blood Bank NAT-Based Assay Prevents Transfusion-Transmitted Malaria
Blood transfusion is an essential component of health care, which saves millions of lives across the world. The screening of blood donors for transfusion-transmissible agents is crucial in reducing risks of transfusion of infected units. More...20 Aug 2020
Lab Profiles Differentiate MIS-C From Severe Pediatric COVID-19
Initial reports from the Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic described children as being less susceptible to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) than adults. Subsequently, a severe and novel pediatric disorder termed Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) emerged. More...19 Aug 2020
Elevated Glycolated Hemoglobin in Young People Predicts Likelihood of Diabetes or Cardiovascular Disease in Adulthood
A review of blood test results from more than 14,000 young people suggested that measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was a specific and useful nonfasting marker for identify high-risk youth who could benefit from lifestyle interventions to prevent diabetes and cardiovascular risk in adulthood.
