Diagnostic Predictive Value of Platelet Indices Evaluated
The two main causes of thrombocytopenia excluding pseudo thrombocytopenia are increase destruction or peripheral consumption also known as hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia. Decreased platelet productions or hypo-production thrombocytopenia are associated with a number of bone marrow diseases. More...31 Aug 2016
Early Detection Identified for Leukemia Patients' Resistance to Therapy
A world-first breakthrough in the early detection of patients' resistance to a common treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia has been made. The discovery offers some hope that the patients' treatment could be changed sooner to improve their chances of survival. More...25 Aug 2016
Droplet Digital PCR Rapidly Detects Alpha-Thalassemia Variants
Alpha (α)-thalassemia is a highly prevalent genetic disease worldwide and it is characterized by various degrees of alpha globin chain deficit caused by either deletional or non-deletional mutations although the former are more common. More...24 Aug 2016
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. More...23 Aug 2016
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
