Coagulation and Fibrinolysis Assessed in Splenic Injury Patients

The most frequently injured solid organ following blunt abdominal trauma is the spleen. Splenectomy was a standard surgical procedure for splenic injury until the mid‐20th century. However, thrombotic and infectious complications following splenectomy were demonstrated by many studies. More...

Hematological and Molecular Parameters Defined for CCUS and MDS

Patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) have low blood counts and a normal bone marrow examination, but more advanced genetic testing shows the presence of a genetic mutation that is likely causing the low counts. More...

African-American MS Patients Experience More Rapid B-Cell Repopulation

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. More...

Cytokine Target Identified for Treatment-Resistant Hemophilia A

Hemophilia A, also called factor VIII (8) deficiency or classic hemophilia, is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective factor VIII (FVIII), a clotting protein. Although it is passed down from parents to children, about 1/3 of cases found have no previous family history. More...

Synovial Fluid Neutrophils Phenotyped in Oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an inflammatory rheumatic joint disease affecting children. Despite disease onset being at a young age, symptoms may be lifelong and include irreversible joint damage or growth disturbances. More...

Digital PCR Improves BCR-ABL1 Detection in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Specific targeting of the Bcr-Abl1 enzyme by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) revolutionized the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) to the point that TKIs can offer near normal life expectancy for CML patients. More...

Tissue Counterpart to Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis Characterized

Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) was initially proposed to recognize patients with a monotypic B cell population identified by peripheral blood (PB) flow cytometry (FC) that did not meet numerical criteria for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). More...
