Reference Intervals Established For Serum Ferritin In Chinese Adults
As the foundation for the interpretation of medical laboratory data, reference intervals (RIs) for analytes are one of the most widely used clinical decision‐making tool. Nevertheless, although measurement of serum ferritin (SF) has largely replaced laboratory assays of serum iron and transferrin or total iron‐binding capacity in clinical practice, there is no gold‐standard method for measuring SF.

Diagnostic Values of Serum STAT4 and sEng Analyzed in Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, most often the liver and kidneys. Preeclampsia usually begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy in women whose blood pressure had been normal. More...06 Nov 2019
Anti-Müllerian Hormone Immunoassay Validated
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a homodimeric glycoprotein with roles in regulation of fetal sexual differentiation and folliculogenesis in the adult ovary. AMH is increasingly used as a biomarker of ovarian reserve in clinical practice, and is used both for management of fertility treatments and prediction of menopause. More...04 Nov 2019
Vaginal Biomarkers Predict Preterm Birth Risks
Premature birth and its complications are the largest contributors to infant death in the USA and globally. Complications of preterm birth are the single largest cause of neonatal deaths and account for 35% of the world’s 3.1 million neonatal deaths each year. More...04 Nov 2019
POC Test Based on Quantum Dots Detects Antibody Responses
Point-of-care (POC) assays, which can be performed at or near the site of care with a rapid turnaround time, are pivotal to transforming global disease control efforts, particularly in resource-constrained settings where access to laboratory facilities is limited. More...31 Oct 2019
Fluorimetric Assay Quantifies Galactocerebrosidase Activity in Dried Blood Spots
The lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase hydrolyzes glycosidic bonds of several glycosphingolipids, including galactose from galactosylsphingosine (psychosine), and is essential to prevent the toxic accumulation of psychosine in the body. More...29 Oct 2019
