Device Offers Potential for More Effective Blood Disorders Diagnostics
Researchers have developed a microfluidic device with fixed endothelial cells to mimic cellular and vascular flow conditions inside a patient’s body, which could help monitor blood clot formation, diagnose effectiveness of anti-platelet therapy, and prevent dysfunctional hemostasis.

FDA Approves Use of New Zika Assay to Screen Blood Supply
The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of a new Zika virus assay to screen the USA blood supply under its Investigational New Drug (IND) study protocol. Blood banks will use the test on an automated nucleic acids technology (NAT) platform to screen donated blood in potential endemic areas. More...16 Aug 2016
Blood Test Uses Plasma Ceramides as Biomarkers to Assess Risk of Heart Attack
Researchers have found that measuring blood concentrations of plasma ceramides much improves prediction of cardiovascular (CV) death in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes beyond LDL-cholesterol. More...16 Aug 2016
Cord Blood Outperforms Matched Donor in Bone Marrow Transplants
A common treatment for blood cancers is to erase a patient's leukemic blood system and then regrow a new blood system using donor blood stem cells. The closer the match between donor cells and a patient's blood system, the less chance the new blood system will attack the patient's tissues which reduces the chance of graft - versus - host disease.

Medical Center Saves Money by Reducing Blood Wastage
Blood transfusions raise the risk of transfusion reaction, infection, longer hospital stays, and even death, and there is evidence that a restrictive transfusion strategy, as opposed to a liberal one, results in better outcomes for patients. More...04 Aug 2016
Automated Hemostasis Tests Affected By Hemolysis, Icterus And Lipemia
Laboratory diagnosis is more and more prominent in modern medicine and it is commonly accepted that approximately 70% of all medical decisions are based on the laboratory results and accurate results are therefore key for appropriate diagnosis. More...02 Aug 2016
