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...

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...

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...

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.
