Cryopreservation Improves Longer-Lasting Blood Supply

The development of highly efficient methods to cryopreserve cells, tissues, and organs is becoming exceedingly important to meet the increasing demands of emerging cellular therapies. Cryopreservation of blood and stem cells has had tremendous impact on regenerative and transfusion medicine. More...

Costly Blood Clot Test Has Few Benefits

It has been proposed that hospital patients, who have already been diagnosed with venous thromboembolisms or VTEs, do not need a positive genetic test to justify taking medication and making other changes to prevent future ones. More...

Inflammatory Markers Correlated with SCA Pain Intensity

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a hereditary hemolytic anemia where the synthesis of hemoglobin (Hb) is abnormal and the inheritance can be heterozygous (HbS) or homozygous (HbSS). Homozygous patients with SCA often develop vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) and recurrent episodes of hemolysis causing multi-organ infarction and dysfunction. More...

Preoperative In-Vitro Platelet Function Tests Investigated

It is essential to predict the bleeding risk in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and to evaluate the adequacy of primary hemostasis, preoperative hemostatic screening tests are used. More...

Ascitic Fluid Lactoferrin Investigated in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

Although elevated levels of lactoferrin provide a biomarker for inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer, the clinical significance of these elevated levels in ascitic fluid of patients with ascites caused by liver cirrhosis is limited. More...

New Monitoring System Evaluated For Antiphospholipid Syndrome Patients

Antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), or often also Hughes syndrome, is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by antiphospholipid antibodies. More...

Potential Maternal Blood Test May Predict Fetal Complications

Researchers have found that the protein DLK1 in blood of pregnant women is required for maternal metabolic adaptations to pregnancy and is associated with fetal growth restriction, and suggested that DLK1 could be used as a prenatal diagnostic marker in a relatively non-invasive test to help determine health of newborns and aid decisions on early elective deliveries.
