Blood Tests Help Identify Children Who Need Appendectomy
Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency in the pediatric population, yet the diagnosis remains challenging in many cases and the use of laboratory data as a diagnostic adjunct has similarly been associated with relatively low sensitivity, and children with pathology-proven appendicitis can often present with a normal leukocyte count More...04 Mar 2015
Childhood Hereditary Spherocytosis Confirmed by Hematology Analyzer
The hallmark of hereditary spherocytosis is a decreased surface area-to-volume ratio of the erythrocytes, resulting in the characteristic spherocyte form and in a blood film, spherocytes have a smaller diameter than normal RBC and are hyperchromic. More...25 Feb 2015
Transplanted Blood Cell Biomarker Associated with Improved Survival
Among patients with severe aplastic anemia who received stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor, longer leukocyte telomere length, a structure at the end of a chromosome was associated with increased overall survival at five years. More...23 Feb 2015
Prothrombin Time Derived from POC Test Compared to Laboratory Test
Prothrombin time/international normalized ratio is used for dosing and monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy based on warfarin, as the therapeutic range of warfarin is narrow and there is a considerable variation in inter- and intra-individual pharmacologic response. More...17 Feb 2015
