Higher Histone Levels Associated with Thrombocytopenia

Thrombocytopenia is observed in approximately 30% to 40% of patients in the intensive care unit concomitant with poor outcomes and an association with histones has been examined.   More...

3D Printed Diagnostic Device Rapidly Detects Anemia

A new biomedical device has been developed using 3D printers to create a low cost, point-of-care device that can quickly detect anemia, a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells to transport oxygen to the body's organs.   More...

D-Dimer Efficacy Evaluated for Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Diagnosis

Disseminated intravascular coagulation refers to an acquired syndrome characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation and leading to a systemic thrombotic process, which may be derived from or causing microvascular system damage.  More...

Super-Resolution Microscopy Improves Platelet Granule Disorder Diagnosis

Platelets or thrombocytes form part of the blood, help heal wounds, and prevent bleeding by forming blood clots and they do this through tiny granules that release molecules for blood clotting.   More...

Blood Test Improves Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A simple blood test has been developed that is capable of detecting trace levels of leukemia cells remaining after intensive chemotherapy. The test can predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia are at risk of their cancer returning in the future, helping to guide doctors on what further treatment is needed.   More...
