Myelodysplastic Syndrome Diagnosed With Peripheral Blood Samples
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) encompass a heterogeneous group of clonal bone marrow neoplasms, with a median age at diagnosis of 70 years. MDS are characterized by recurrent cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities, morphologic dysplasia for one or more hematopoietic cell lineage and ineffective hematopoiesis. More...14 Nov 2022

Independent Subtype of Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Defined
Multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) comprises a heterogeneous group of rare disorders that exhibit generalized symptoms such as swelling of lymph nodes, anemia, fever, and fatigue. Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a type of Castleman disease that is not related to KSHV/HHV8 infection. More...08 Nov 2022

Accurate Genetic Assay Identifies Human Neutrophil Antigen 2 Deficiency
Human Neutrophil Antigen 2 (HNA-2) is one of the most important neutrophil antigens implicated in a number of human disorders. HNA-2 deficiency or HNA-2 null is a common phenotype observed in 3%–5% of US citizens. More...08 Nov 2022


Noninvasive Device Measures Hemoglobin More Accurately in Individuals with Darker Skin Pigmentations
Researchers have demonstrated a new device that measures hemoglobin more accurately in individuals with darker skin pigmentations by using the spectroscopic properties of hemoglobin in the blue-green light spectra. More...31 Oct 2022

Remote Dispensing of Emergency Release Red Blood Cells Assessed
Good transfusion practice requires meticulous attention to the correct identification of blood samples and the performance of pre-transfusion compatibility testing using validated procedures. Patients with acute bleeding are frequently transfused with emergency release (ER) group O red blood cells (RBCs). More...26 Oct 2022
Hematological Neoplasm Cytogenetics Profiled With Optical Genome Mapping
The current standard-of-care cytogenetic techniques for the analysis of hematological malignancies include karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), which are labor intensive and time and cost prohibitive, and they often do not reveal the genetic complexity of the tumor, demonstrating the need for alternative technology for better characterization of these tumors. More...25 Oct 2022
