Possible Implication of Red Blood Cells in the Prothrombotic Risk in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
, 2015 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that can be considered as a prothrombotic state1. A great number of studies have investigated the possible role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the etiology and pathogenesis of this ...

Comparison of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Between the Alcor iSED ESR Analyzer and the Streck Autoplus ESR Analyzer [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2014 The Alcor iSED analyzer is a new instrument designed for rapid, automated analysis of ESR using primary collection tubes (lavender-top). We compared results of ESR measurements between the iSED analyzer and the Streck Autoplus analyzer. Among patient samples submitted for routine analysis of ESR over 3 months, a random subset of samples was selected ...
