Automated Leucocyte VCS Parameters Evaluated for Pathogenic Infections

 Malaria and dengue are highly endemic in most parts of India. Mangalore, a city in coastal Karnataka, India, has high prevalence of both these vector‐borne infections with extensive range of clinical presentations. The outbreak of these infections is common during and after the rainy season. More...

TFP Inhibitor Levels Elevated in Bleeding Tendency Patients

Mild to moderate bleeding disorders (MBDs) are characterized by symptoms such as epistaxis, easy bruising, or menorrhagia, but bleeding can also be severe under certain circumstances such as hemorrhage after surgery or birth. More...

RDW Levels Associated with Adverse Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients

The red cell distribution width (RDW) blood test measures the amount of red blood cell variation in volume and size. RDW is not used as an isolated parameter when interpreting a complete blood count (CBC); instead, it provides shades of meaning in the context of the hemoglobin (Hgb) and mean corpuscular value (MCV).

ABO Histo-Blood Groups Influence Makeup of Gut Microbiome

Recent genome-wide association studies yielded inconsistent, underpowered and rarely replicated results such that the role of human host genetics as a contributing factor to microbiome assembly and structure remains uncertain. More...

Specific RUNX1 Mutations Cause Different Disease Types

Mutations of the hematopoietic master regulator RUNX1 are associated with acute myeloid leukemia, familial platelet disorder and other hematological malignancies whose phenotypes and prognoses depend upon the class of the RUNX1 mutation. More...

Tryptophan Metabolism Is Dysregulated in Individuals with Fanconi Anemia

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a complex genetic disorder frequently associated with progressive marrow failure and a strong predisposition to early malignancies, particularly squamous cell carcinomas and hepatocellular carcinomas. More...

Coagulopathy Testing Linked to Better COVID-19 Outcomes

Significant infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may lead to development of coagulopathy, most typically a hypercoagulable state. In addition to thrombotic conditions, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients may develop hemorrhagic complications, which have been under recognized or inadequately emphasized in prior studies.
