Clinical Specificity of RBC Alloantibodies Studied in Pregnant Women
Maternal red cell immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies can cross the placenta and cause hemolysis of fetal red cells in case of antigenic differences between maternal and fetal red blood cells (RBCs), leading to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). More...05 Sep 2019

Toolkit Developed for Iron Deficiency in Pregnancy
The risk of iron deficiency (ID) increases during pregnancy due to an increase in maternal iron requirements to accommodate the expansion of maternal red blood cell (RBC) mass, development of the placenta and fetus, and the loss of blood associated with labor and delivery. More...04 Sep 2019

Platelet Volume Related to Geriatric Patient In-Hospital Mortality
Treatment of acute coronary syndrome involves inhibition of platelet activity and thrombus formation. Platelets play a significant part during myocardial infarction by enhancing microvascular obstruction and secreting vasoactive peptides. More...28 Aug 2019

Hematology Analyzer Screens for Malaria in Clinical Setting
Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease that continues to have high morbidity and mortality globally. Diagnosis based only on clinical symptoms has very low specificity as there is no combination of symptoms that reliably distinguishes malaria from other causes of fever or influenza. More...14 Aug 2019

BRCA2 Mutations Linked to Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Risk
Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are most typically associated with an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA2 was the third most frequently mutated gene (14 occurrences) among 3,006 survivors of childhood cancer, with the highest number observed among survivors of lymphoma. More...09 Aug 2019

Abnormal Metabolite Observed in Early CKD Patients
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been a growing health burden worldwide, and the patients with CKD continue to suffer from a wide range of complication including electrolyte imbalance, fluid overload, bone and mineral metabolism disorder to anemia. More...06 Aug 2019
