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


Portable Point-of-Care (POC) Device to Monitor Blood Ammonia in Liver Disease Patients
Versantis AG (Zurich, Switzerland) is developing a prototype POC device named TS-01 based on the polymersome-based ammonia quantification method. TS-01 is a unique point-of-care diagnostic device for at-home measurement of ammonia in blood, the primary cause of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). More...15 Apr 2022

Primary Graft Failure Identified by Early Chimerism Following DCBU Transplantation
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has increased access to potentially curative therapy for patients with life-threatening disorders of the bone marrow and immune system. The introduction of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens and double umbilical cord unit infusions (DUCBT) has broadened the applicability of UCBT to frailer or larger recipients. More...14 Apr 2022

Blood Test Proves Highly Accurate in Detecting Multiple Cancers in Early Stage
Guardant Health, Inc. (Redwood City, CA, USA) has announced new data demonstrating the ability of the company’s investigational next-generation Guardant SHIELD multi-cancer assay to accurately detect early-stage cancers. More...13 Apr 2022

First-of-Its-Kind Molecular Karyotyping Test Assists Hematologists in Diagnosing Leukemia
A new test kit can evaluate copy number aberrations (CNAs) in bone marrow cells and/or circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) via shallow whole-genome sequencing (sWGS), in combination with conventional cytogenetics technologies, to make leukemia diagnosis, molecular subtyping, prognostic stratification and treatment response monitoring more precise and comprehensive.
