MRD Assessed by Multiparameter Flow Cytometry in Transplant-Eligible Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) treatment has considerably improved in the past 15–20 years. The current paradigm for transplant-eligible newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients consists of induction, stem-cell mobilization and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), followed by consolidation and/or maintenance.

Monocyte Distribution Width Evaluated as a Sepsis Indicator
Most current automated hematology analyzers have enhanced cell counting functions including the addition of new cell types such as nucleated red blood cells or immature granulocytes, making it possible to obtain a precise quantification of peripheral blood cells in pathological conditions.

Leukocyte Differential on Hematology Analyzer Compared and Evaluated
A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood. The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells). More...21 Jun 2021

Low-Cost Transcriptional Diagnostic Accurately Categorizes Lymphomas
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting network. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body. More...14 Jun 2021

Point-of-Care Testing Evaluated for Early Coagulopathy Diagnosis
Hemorrhage and coagulopathy are particularly relevant complications and are often connected to injuries, surgical interventions, serious diseases, anticoagulant medication or pregnancy/delivery. Acute bleeding requires fast and targeted therapy and therefore, knowledge of the patient's potential to form a clot is crucial. More...09 Jun 2021

Personalized CtDNA Analysis Detects Minimal Residual Disease
Multiple myeloma (MM), is a type of bone marrow cancer. It is called multiple myeloma as the cancer often affects several areas of the body, such as the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs. Minimal residual disease (MRD) is the name given to small numbers of leukemic cells that remain in the person during treatment, or after treatment when the patient is in remission.

PF4 Immunoassays Investigated in Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia
Post-vaccination embolic and thrombotic events, also termed vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT) or vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) are rare types of blood clotting events that were initially observed in a very small number of people who had previously received the COVID-19 vaccine.
