Elevated Chitotriosidase Differentially Diagnoses Lysosomal Storage Disorders
Plasma chitotriosidase originates from activated macrophages and is reported to be elevated in many Lysosomal Storage Disorders. Measurement of this enzyme’s activity has been an available tool for monitoring therapy of Gaucher disease. More...25 May 2016
Gut Microbiome Pretreatment Predicts Chemotherapy-Related Bloodstream Infection
Bacteria are thought to enter the bloodstream through intestinal lesions due to chemotherapy-induced inflammation of the membrane lining the digestive tract. Once the infection begins, patients' own immune systems are depleted and are often unable to fight off the pathogens and antibiotics are often ineffective. More...19 May 2016
Blood Transfusions in Malaria Zones Made Safer
Patients, especially children, who undergo blood transfusions in sub-Saharan Africa, are at high risk of transfusion-transmitted malaria. Every year, approximately 214 million people worldwide are infected with acute malaria, the majority of whom are in Africa and the disease is caused by the parasite Plasmodium. More...03 May 2016
Blood Processing Methods Affect Microparticles Linked To Transfusion Reactions
Specific red blood cell manufacturing methods may be less damaging to cells than others and knowledge of this could help reduce adverse reactions in transfusion recipients and may impact the future of how blood is collected around the world. More...29 Apr 2016
Novel Method Creates Megakaryocytes From Stem Cells For Transfusion
The production of megakaryocytes (MKs), the precursors of blood platelet, from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offers exciting clinical opportunities for transfusion medicine. Up to four components can be derived from donated blood: red cells, white cells, plasma and platelets. More...28 Apr 2016
Elevated Platelet Tests Associated with Severe Heart Disease Risks
As a major component of the blood-vascular axis responsible for preventing hemorrhage, platelets are crucial in the development of ischemic stroke due to its participation in thromboemboli that may initiate the symptoms of stroke. More...13 Apr 2016
Emerging Blood-Borne Bacteria Found in Blood Donors
Bartonella species cause chronic and intermittent intra-erythrocytic bacteremia and infect endothelial cells of both incidental and natural reservoir hosts. The establishment of chronic, stealth infection is achieved by evasion of innate immune responses. More...04 Apr 2016
