Thromboelastometry Analysis Assessed for Thrombocytopenic Dengue Patients

Dengue virus infection (DVI) is a prevalent and potentially fatal viral disease associated with coagulopathy. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) represents a severe clinical presentation of DVI and is characterized by the presence of varying degrees of hemostatic disorders. More...

Novel Flow Cytometry-Based Method Analyzes Heinz Bodies

Heinz bodies are inclusions within red blood cells (RBCs) that are composed of denatured hemoglobin molecules and are a highly sensitive indicator of in vivo oxidative stress. Heinz body formation has also been reported in chronic liver disease and α-thalassemia patient. More...

Procalcitonin Screening Helps Provide Early Identification of Sepsis

In a retrospective study of a large and diverse population of critically ill patients, researchers have found that screening for sepsis by procalcitonin (PCT) testing at admission to intensive care unit (ICU) notably reduced the hospitalization length-of-stay and total cost of care. The study clearly suggests that PCT screening on the first day of ICU admission is a potentially important diagnostic tool. More...
