Automated Enzymatic Method Quantifies Pyruvate Kinase in Erythrocytes

 A deficiency of red blood cell (RBC) pyruvate kinase (PK), inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, is the most common cause of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (HSHA). The hemolysis is owing to the inability of the PK-deficient RBCs to maintain adequate quantities of ATP. More...

Novel Point-of-Care Device Simultaneously Detects Bacterial Growth and Tests Antibiotic Susceptibility

 A novel paper-based point-of-care device that combines detection of pathogenic bacteria with determination of antibiotic susceptibility is expected to reduce the number of unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and aid in the on-going struggle to prevent development of antibiotic resistance. 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...

All-Digital Histopathology Attained by Infrared-Optical Hybrid Microscopy

 The gold standard of tissue pathology is to add dyes or stains so that pathologists can see the shapes and patterns of the cells under a microscope. However, it can be difficult to distinguish cancer from healthy tissue or to pinpoint the boundaries of a tumor, and in many cases diagnosis is subjective. More...
