Hematology


Smartphone-Based Technique Helps Doctors Assess Hematological Disorders
As one of the most common clinical laboratory tests, blood hemoglobin tests are routinely ordered as an initial screening of reduced red blood cell production to examine the general health status before other specific examinations. More...01 Jun 2020

Soluble Transferrin Receptor Investigated in Iron Deficiency Anemia
Anemia is a global public health problem and approximately 30% of the world's population suffered from anemia, with children and pregnant women being the most affected. Microcytic hypochromic anemia is a common type of anemia, and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common manifestation of this anemia. More...25 May 2020

Microcytosis Is a Risk Marker of Cancer in Primary Care
Microcytosis is a term used to describe red blood cells that are smaller than normal. Anemia is when there are low numbers of properly functioning red blood cells in the body. In microcytic anemia, the body has fewer red blood cells than normal and those red blood cells it does have are also too small. More...20 May 2020

Lupus Anticoagulant Prolongs Activated Partial-Thromboplastin Time in COVID-19
Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a profound hypercoagulable state, and complicating venous thrombotic events are common. Abnormalities in coagulation screening measures, including a prolonged activated partial-thromboplastin time (aPTT), have been reported in patients with COVID-19. More...20 May 2020

Immune Microenvironment Changes Contribute to Early-Stage Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. Plasma cells help you fight infections by making antibodies that recognize and attack germs. Multiple myeloma causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, where they crowd out healthy blood cells. More...14 May 2020

Blood Clotting Causes Significant Mortality in COVID-19 Patients
Although the underlying pulmonary pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, severe COVID-19 infection is associated with a marked alveolar inflammatory cell infiltrate, together with a systemic cytokine storm response. More...11 May 2020
