Histological Criteria Predicts Lymphoma Transformation in Bone Marrow Biopsies
Large cell transformation (LCT) of indolent B-cell lymphomas, such as follicular lymphoma (FL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), signals a worse prognosis, at which point aggressive chemotherapy is initiated. Although LCT is relatively straightforward to diagnose in lymph nodes, a marrow biopsy is often obtained first given its ease of procedure, low cost, and low morbidity. However, consensus criteria for LCT in bone marrow have not been established. More...16 Feb 2022
10-Minute Sepsis Risk Test Could Change the Way Emergency Departments Recognize and Treat Sepsis
A novel test designed to quantify the state of immune activation by measuring the biophysical properties of leukocytes from a routine blood sample in less than 10 minutes is pioneering a new way of quickly and accurately stratifying a patient’s risk of sepsis. More...10 Feb 2022
Certain Childhood ALL Subtypes Linked to Genetic Ancestry
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells. It progresses quickly and aggressively and requires immediate treatment. Both adults and children can be affected. Although it is rare, ALL is the most common type of leukemia that affects children. More...10 Feb 2022
Automating Blood Smears Developed for Easier Malaria Diagnosis
Blood smears are used in diagnosis for a variety of hematological disorders, such as anemia and leukemia. They are also the preferred method of diagnosis of parasitic infections, such as malaria and filariasis in developing world laboratories. More...03 Feb 2022
Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Proinflammatory Signatures Associated with AML Progression
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is believed to arise through a combination of genetic alterations and aberrant gene expression patterns caused by genetic and epigenetic changes, which in their composition also determine AML progression and therapy resistance. More...01 Feb 2022
