Use of the Abbott i‐STAT®1 point of care device for hCG quantification in early pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the use of the Abbott i‐STAT®1 point‐of‐care‐test (POCT) device for measurement of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to support the management of early pregnancy complications in a remote early pregnancy unit (EPU). Methods Women attending the EPU who required an hCG blood test were invited to take part in the study ...

Ultrafast reaction‐sintering of grain size‐controlled titanium niobate from TiO2 and Nb2O5

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science, 2021
TiNb2O7 is a promising alternative to graphite anodes currently employed in lithium‐ion batteries. The material offers a high specific capacity, good cycling stability, and better safety characteristics. The solid‐state reaction between TiO2 and Nb2O5 is

Global Delivery of Foetal Sequencing: Do We Need Some Standardisation?

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The development of sequencing technologies has resulted in rapid expansion in the testing available for foetuses with structural anomalies to diagnose monogenic disorders. To understand the variability in how foetal sequencing services are delivered, we developed a survey that focussed on the scope of testing, any parallel testing ...

A Probabilistic Approach to Quantify the Uncertainty of the 1 Min Irradiance Estimates from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Radiation Service

Solar RRL, EarlyView.
This paper presents the development and evaluation of a probabilistic uncertainty model for the CAMS radiation service irradiance estimates. This model is based on the conditioning of the cumulative distribution function of the deviations to the model inputs.

UK recommendations for chimerism testing and monitoring following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT): Best practice consensus guidelines from the British Society for Blood and Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapies (BSBMTCT), NHS England Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH) Haematological Malignancies Working Group, UK Cancer Genetics Group (UKCGG) and the UK National External Quality Assessment Service for Leucocyte Immunophenotyping (UK NEQAS LI)

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary In allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), important clinical decisions depend upon assessment of chimerism, including immunosuppressant dosing and donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI), which in turn can have major impacts on disease control, graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD), immunity and ultimately patient survival.

PD-L1 testing for lung cancer in the UK: recognizing the challenges for implementation. [PDF]

, 2016
A new approach to the management of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has recently emerged that works by manipulating the immune checkpoint controlled by programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1).
