Measurement of Plasma Free Hemoglobin Using the Hemolysis Index of the Mindray BS‐800

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The Mindray BS‐800 Hemolysis Index provides accurate and reliable measurement of plasma free hemoglobin. Offering an alternative to the Harboe reference method, this technique improves safety and turnaround time. It has strong potential to serve as a practical laboratory marker for accurately differentiating intravascular hemolysis from other causes of

Total Immunoglobulin G Variation Through the Phenological Cycle of Migrant and Resident Lesser Long‐Nosed Bats (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) in the Drylands of Mexico and Its Relationship With Bacterial Killing‐Ability of Plasma

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bats have unique immunological characteristics among vertebrates. Understanding how the immune system responds during the life cycle of bat populations is crucial for grasping how their defenses against infection vary during critical life events.

Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) Disorders: An Update on Emerging Treatments

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) is a heterogeneous group of heritable, mostly recessive, progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by iron deposition in the basal ganglia and brainstem. There are no solid global epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence of NBIA subtypes, but registry data and ...

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out
