Tryptophan Metabolism Is Dysregulated in Individuals with Fanconi Anemia
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a complex genetic disorder frequently associated with progressive marrow failure and a strong predisposition to early malignancies, particularly squamous cell carcinomas and hepatocellular carcinomas. More...20 Jan 2021

Coagulopathy Testing Linked to Better COVID-19 Outcomes
Significant infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may lead to development of coagulopathy, most typically a hypercoagulable state. In addition to thrombotic conditions, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients may develop hemorrhagic complications, which have been under recognized or inadequately emphasized in prior studies. More...19 Jan 2021

Preterm Infants Tolerate Restrictive Red Blood Cell Transfusion Strategy
Very preterm infants (born before 29 weeks of pregnancy) and those weighing less than 1,000 grams are at high risk for anemia because of their early stage of development, reduced ability to produce red blood cells, and need for blood sampling as part of their intensive medical care. More...11 Jan 2021

Next Generation Sequencing Developed for Monitoring of Mixed Chimerism
Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment for patients with hematological malignant and non-malignant diseases. There are more than 50,000 stem cell transplants are carried out annually worldwide and the number is increasing. More...07 Jan 2021

Automated Hematologic Reference Intervals Defined for Newborns
Laboratory tests leverage 60% to 70% of medical decisions and one of the most often ordered and impactful tests is the complete blood count (CBC). These decisions require that clinicians have a standard for interpreting laboratory test results for their patients. More...05 Jan 2021

Blood Type Linked to Risk of COVID-19 Infection Severity
Identification of risk factors for contracting and developing serious illness following infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of paramount interest. Development of COVID-19 is associated with age, sex, and comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, although severe disease is not limited to these risk groups. More...04 Jan 2021

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Increases Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an indolent B-cell malignancy invariably infiltrating the bone marrow. The disease remains incurable, and after emergence of therapy, resistant disease patients succumb to infections because of secondary bone marrow failure. More...31 Dec 2020
