Acute Myeloid Leukemia Risk Predicted in Healthy Individuals
The incidence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) increases with age and mortality exceeds 90% when diagnosed after age 65. Most cases arise without any detectable early symptoms and patients usually present with the acute complications of bone marrow failure. More...25 Jul 2018
Hematological Parameters Predict Severity of Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammation of the pancreatic parenchyma induced by activated pancreatic enzymes due to multiple causes. Current severity scores include multiple variables and some of them are only complete within 48 hours of admission. More...23 Jul 2018
FDA Recommends Pooled Blood Testing of Zika Screening
The US Food and Drug Administration said today that it has revised its recommendations for testing blood donations for the Zika virus. In a revised final guidance, the agency said that pooled testing of donations using a screening test that it has licensed is a sufficient method for complying with its testing regulations and effectively reducing the risk of Zika virus transmission.
