New Diagnosed Anemia Linked to Crohn’s Disease Risk
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IBD is a chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disorder that involves complex interactions among genetic, environmental, immunological, and microbiological factors. More...28 Sep 2020

Hematological Parameters Evaluated for Cervicocranial Arterial Dissection Stroke
As artery detachment, artery dissection refers to the vascular disease in which blood flow enters the artery wall and causes dissection of vascular wall. Cervicocranial arterial dissection (CCAD) can lead to stenosis or occlusion of the lumen has become one of the most frequent causes for ischemic stroke in the young. More...23 Sep 2020

Quantitative Agglutination Determined on Automatic Hematology Analyzer
The currently available agglutination identification methods are slide methods and test tube methods. Based on the distribution, uniformity and comprehensive changes of non-aggregated cells and agglutinating cells in the liquid, the agglutination degree and strength can be determined by the naked eye. More...16 Sep 2020

Complex ABO Glycan Phenotypes Predicted by Lectin Microarrays
Serological classification of individuals as A, B, O, or AB is a mainstay of blood banking. ABO blood groups or ABH antigens, in addition to other surface glycans, act as unique red blood cell (RBC) signatures and direct immune responses. ABO subgroups present as weakened, mixed field, or unexpected reactivity with serological reagents, but specific designations remain complex. More...16 Sep 2020

Positive Lymphocyte Gene Rearrangement Evaluated for Hematologic Malignancies
The diagnosis of a lymphoid malignancy requires the establishment of monoclonality of a lymphocyte population through morphologic assessment and laboratory testing, such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and cytogenetic analysis. More...08 Sep 2020

Lymphocyte Count Correlated to Comorbid Diabetes and COVID-19
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that erupted in China since December 2019 and has gradually spread throughout the world. At present, it has caused tens of thousands of deaths, and the efficacy of certain antiviral drugs is still under review. More...03 Sep 2020

Clonal Hematopoiesis Prevalence Determined in Healthy Donors
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is defined as the presence of a clone at more than 2% of variant allele frequency (VAF) in peripheral blood (PB) of individuals with no evidence of hematologic disease. More...02 Sep 2020
