Platelet Indices Are Associated with Syphilis Activities
Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum, which is a chronic sexually transmitted disease that has highly variable clinical courses and manifestations from a painless chancre to severe damage in the brain, heart, and other organs. More...11 May 2022

Stem Cell Architecture Drives Myelodysplastic Syndrome Progression
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is caused by two distinct classes of stem cells and identified possible therapeutic approaches that target these cells. Their findings, which could have significant benefits for patients with disease progression, were published today in Nature Medicine. More...10 May 2022

Novel Hemostatic Immunoassay Detects VTE with Excellent Accuracy, Reliability and Turnaround Time
Scientists have successfully evaluated the analytical performance of a novel hemostatic immunoassay and demonstrated it to detect venous thromboembolism with excellent accuracy, reliability and turnaround time. More...10 May 2022

Biochemical Abnormalities Among Celiac Disease Patients Referred for Antibody Testing
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease occurring in all age groups and affecting approximately 1% of the population, although many cases of CD remain undiagnosed. This condition is caused by an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals triggered by the ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, rye and barley. More...09 May 2022

Thromboelastography Applied in Diagnosing Normal and Complicated Pregnancies
During pregnancy, the coagulation system in women undergoes considerable changes to prevent bleeding. If the coagulation system in pregnant women is not functioning optimally, incidents such as bleeding and miscarriage are prone to occur; if the coagulation system in pregnant women is hyperfunctional, the risk of venous thrombosis is high. More...04 May 2022

High-End Hematology Analyzers Compared for Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Although the performance of the automated hematology analyzers expressed as turn-around time is one of the important criteria in high-volume testing laboratories to deliver patient quality results on time, it may not be comparable for the analyzers from different companies. More...29 Apr 2022

Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Monitored by DNA Sequencing
Blood plasma sequencing appears to offer a noninvasive method for tracking disease clearance or persistence in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), along with the presence or absence of potentially infectious microbes. More...26 Apr 2022
