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
Rapid Diagnostic Tests Evaluated for Chronic Chagas Disease Patients
Chagas is a disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and is one of the most important public health concerns affecting the population of Latin America. This disease presents an acute phase that generally goes undiagnosed and a chronic phase with cardiac manifests principally, is diagnosed through serological tests that are generally not available.

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
Serum Based Antigen Test Detects Childhood Tuberculosis
Approximately one million children develop tuberculosis (TB) and 205,000 die of TB-related causes each year. Eighty percent of these deaths occur in children < 5 years old, with the majority (96%) of deaths occurring among children who did not receive treatment, where missed diagnoses are likely responsible for undertreatment. More...01 Jun 2021
RPA-LF Assay Evaluated for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Colombia
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a recognized public health challenge in the Americas, with an average of 55,000 cases per year between 2001 and 2018 in 17 countries of the region. Most cases (79.4%) have been acquired in and continue to occur in rural areas. More...17 May 2021
Rapid, Direct-to-Digital Prostate Biopsy Pathology Evaluated
Increasing adoption of digital pathology promises marked improvements in reproducibility, efficiency, and accuracy of tissue-based diagnostics by facilitating routine remote expert consultation and enabling computerized image analysis for clinical use. More...13 May 2021
Gel and Capillary Electrophoresis Compared for Human Proteins
The electrophoresis of serum proteins remains a laboratory cornerstone for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with plasma cell disorders, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and AL amyloidosis. More...12 May 2021
