World’s First Rapid POC Diagnostic Test Could Detect ‘Insidious’ Malaria Infections
Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium vivax parasite which is transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected mosquito and can remain dormant in the liver for years, but reawaken later to continue spreading the disease. Now, new research aims to develop and deploy the world’s first diagnostic test for detecting 'insidious' malaria infections and accelerating malaria eradication. More...07 Feb 2023
Blood Test 24 Hours After Start of Chemotherapy Predicts Survival
Acute myeloid leukemia is an aggressive blood cancer with poor survival. Despite high rates of initial chemotherapy response, patients often relapse due to the selection and development of chemotherapy-resistant leukemic cells. Researchers have now found a new method that within hours can predict if certain cancer patients will survive or not after chemotherapy. More...11 Jan 2023
Laboratory Diagnostic Workup of Microcytic Anemia Evaluated
In microcytic anemia, the red blood cells (erythrocytes) contain less hemoglobin and are usually also hypochromic, meaning that the red blood cells appear paler than usual. This can be reflected by a low mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). More...04 Jan 2023
First Leukemia Diagnostic Test Based on DNA Sequencing Detects up To 51 Gene Mutations
Until 2022 the only leukemia tests done could detect two gene mutations. Now, a new leukemia diagnostic test is capable of detecting 51 gene mutations, marking a significant technological and medical advancement. More...02 Jan 2023

Haptoglobin 1 Allele Predicts Higher Serum Haptoglobin Concentration in SCD
Approximately 30% of the hemolysis in sickle cell disease (SCD) is intravascular, resulting in increasing plasma cell–free hemoglobin which contributes to organ damage through direct oxidative injury, consumption of nitric oxide, and upregulation of inflammatory pathways. More...29 Dec 2022
Novel Digital Morphology Analyzer Performance Evaluated
Microscopic examination of peripheral blood smear (PBS) is essential in clinical hematology laboratories. Manual counting is, however, inefficient because the process is technically demanding and labor-intensive resulting in long turnaround time (TAT), and the results may be subjective with inter-observer variation. More...01 Dec 2022
