Image: Sacroiliac joint biopsy specimen of a 29 year old male patient with ankylosing spondylitis. The biopsy specimen shows a subchondral cellular infiltrate partly invading the cartilage. Fibroblasts and activated lymphocytes are seen in the infiltrate. In between are areas of calcification and bone formation (Photo courtesy of Professor J. Braun).

Fibrinogen-Albumin Ratio Correlated to Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity

 Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a systematic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily involves the spine and sacroiliac joints. Typically the joints where the spine joins the pelvis are also affected and occasionally other joints such as the shoulders or hips are involved. Back pain is a characteristic symptom of AS, and it often comes and goes. More...

Combining Biomarkers Predicts Metastasis in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

 Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine neoplasm originating from thyroid parafollicular C cells and accounts for only 5% of all thyroid cancers, but its malignancy is relatively high, causing 8% to 13% of thyroid cancer‐related deaths due to its aggressiveness. More...

Minimal Residual Disease Assessed in AL Amyloidosis Patients

 Amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, also known as primary amyloidosis, is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis in the USA. Despite achieving a hematologic complete response after treatment, many patients with AL amyloidosis do not attain recovery of organ function and/or experience hematologic relapse. More...

Dual Immunohistochemistry Bone Marrow Staining Detects Hairy Cell Leukemia

 Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by distinct immunophenotype (positive for CD19, CD20, PAX5, CD22, CD11c, CD25, CD103, CD123, and CD200). Immunophenotypic analysis by flow cytometry (FC) is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of HCL. More...

Fetal Cell-Based NIPT Demonstrated by Droplet Digital PCR

 Noninvasive testing techniques are often used for fetal diagnosis of genetic abnormalities, but are limited by certain characteristics, including non-informative results. Thus, novel methods of noninvasive definitive diagnosis of fetal genetic abnormalities are needed. More...

T Cells Function as A Team to Fight Infection

 When faced with an infection, T cells normally follow a remarkably reproducible response pattern of expansion, contraction, and memory formation. Population-intrinsic and -extrinsic regulation of T cells occur, but are not mutually exclusive. More...
