Blood Type Linked to Risk of COVID-19 Infection Severity
Identification of risk factors for contracting and developing serious illness following infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of paramount interest. Development of COVID-19 is associated with age, sex, and comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, although severe disease is not limited to these risk groups. More...04 Jan 2021
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Increases Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an indolent B-cell malignancy invariably infiltrating the bone marrow. The disease remains incurable, and after emergence of therapy, resistant disease patients succumb to infections because of secondary bone marrow failure. More...31 Dec 2020
Next-Generation Sequencing Detects Residual Disease in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect residual disease in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients after treatment can better gauge their risk of relapse and overall survival than multiparameter flow cytometry. More...24 Dec 2020
Elevated Soluble C5b9 Biomarker Found in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Children
Most children with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections have mild or minimal disease, with a small proportion developing severe disease or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). More...21 Dec 2020
Two Automated Hematology Analyzers Compared for Performance
A complete blood count (CBC) is a highly automated laboratory test. The use of highly advanced measurement methods increases the accuracy and sensitivity of the determination of individual hematological parameters, especially in the case of white blood cells differentiation. More...17 Dec 2020
Diagnostic Assays Evaluated for Vitamin B12 and Folate Deficiency
Current guidelines pertaining to diagnosing macrocytic anemia in association with vitamin B12 and folate deficiency recommend that vitamin B12, folate, homocysteine, and methylmalonic acid assays should be assessed concurrently due to their close relationship in metabolism. More...07 Dec 2020
Single-Cell Analysis Elucidates Mutation Patterns in Myeloid Malignancies
Myeloid malignancies are clonal diseases of hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells. Myeloid malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), arise from the expansion of these hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells that acquire somatic mutations. More...01 Dec 2020
