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.

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

Two Simple Serum Biomarkers Differentiate Lymphoma from Glioma
Two simple serum biomarkers, absolute lymphocyte count and prognostic nutritional index, which are easily derived from routine pre-treatment blood tests, have fair correlation and acceptable diagnostic accuracy for differentiating primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from high-grade glioma (HGG) in patients with similar morphology on MRI.

NGS Technology-Based Assay Detects Minimal Residual Disease in Patients with Lymphatic Hematological Tumors
A new assay based on high-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS) technology can test the CDR3 regional sequence of the IgH/K/L gene of the B cell receptor (BCR) in bone marrow samples collected from patients with B lymphpocytic leukemia (B-ALL/CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) before and after the treatment.

Non-O Blood Type Cancer Patients Face Higher Risk of Developing Thrombosis
Venous thromboembolism includes deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that typically forms in the deep veins of the leg, and pulmonary embolism (PE), a life-threatening condition that occurs when a blood clot breaks free and becomes lodged in the arteries of the lung. More...19 Apr 2022
