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...

Personalized CtDNA Analysis Detects Minimal Residual Disease

Multiple myeloma (MM), is a type of bone marrow cancer. It is called multiple myeloma as the cancer often affects several areas of the body, such as the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs. Minimal residual disease (MRD) is the name given to small numbers of leukemic cells that remain in the person during treatment, or after treatment when the patient is in remission. More...

PF4 Immunoassays Investigated in Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia

Post-vaccination embolic and thrombotic events, also termed vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT) or vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) are rare types of blood clotting events that were initially observed in a very small number of people who had previously received the COVID-19 vaccine. More...

Platelet Indices Analyzed for Tuberculosis and Diabetes Mellitus Co-Morbidity

Studies have demonstrated that some diseases accelerate Tuberculosis (TB) occurrence and development. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has been verified as one of the threatening risk factors for TB, and patients have three times the risk of developing TB compared to non-diabetic patients due to pathogenic mechanisms and metabolic factors. More...

Hemostatic Profile Associated with Migraine with Aura

Nearly 15% of the population in the USA experiences migraine. One subtype of migraine that is not well understood is migraine with aura (MA). Individuals who experience MA often see flashing lights, blind spots, or jagged lines in their visual field prior to onset of their migraine headaches. More...

Coagulation and Fibrinolysis Assessed in Splenic Injury Patients

The most frequently injured solid organ following blunt abdominal trauma is the spleen. Splenectomy was a standard surgical procedure for splenic injury until the mid‐20th century. However, thrombotic and infectious complications following splenectomy were demonstrated by many studies. More...

Hematological and Molecular Parameters Defined for CCUS and MDS

Patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) have low blood counts and a normal bone marrow examination, but more advanced genetic testing shows the presence of a genetic mutation that is likely causing the low counts. More...
