Thromboelastometry Predicts Thromboembolic Events in COVID-19 Patients

In addition to severe pulmonary and renal injury, abnormality of hemostasis is recognized as a contributing factor to the severity of the COVID-19. Thromboembolic complications were diagnosed in 31% of patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to an intensive care unit, despite anticoagulation therapy. More...

Mass Spectrometry Versus Immunofixation to Monitor Multiple Myeloma Treatment

The monoclonal protein (M-protein), secreted by the tumor plasma cells in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), has long been used as a biomarker to evaluate treatment response. Treatment monitoring in MM is mainly based on the identification and quantification of the M-protein by electrophoresis and/or immunofixation (IFE) in serum and urine samples. More...

Microbes Identified In Leukemic Febrile Neutropenia

Despite diagnostic advances in microbiology, the etiology of neutropenic fever remains elusive in most cases. Infectious complications of neutropenia occur in more than 80% of patients who undergo chemotherapy for hematological malignancy and 10% to 50% of those with visceral malignancies. More...

Cardiac Biomarkers Investigated in Acquired Refractory Thrombocytopenic Purpura Patients

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disorder that causes blood clots (thrombi) to form in small blood vessels throughout the body. These clots can cause serious medical problems if they block vessels and restrict blood flow to organs such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. More...

Prognostic Role for Circulating Tumor Cells Reinforced in Myeloma

Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) are a marker of disease burden in monoclonal gammopathies and help discriminate among monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, smoldering multiple myeloma, and symptomatic myeloma. More...
