Design and Implementation of an Automated Interpretation Algorithm for Lupus Anticoagulant Functional Testing

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lupus anticoagulant (LA) testing is essential, albeit complex, in the laboratory diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Given the multi‐step workflow and the variability introduced by anticoagulant therapy, reagent differences, and interpretive approaches, result interpretation requires expert evaluation.

How I Investigate Borderline Prolonged aPTT: An Integrated Laboratory Approach to Mixing Studies and Factor Analysis

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Borderline prolongation of routine clotting assays—particularly the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)—is a common interpretative challenge in laboratory hematology. These reproducible but mildly prolonged results often lie just beyond the upper reference limit and can trigger unnecessary follow‐up, delays, or misinterpretation ...

Development of Multidisciplinary Consensus‐Informed Guidance for the Management of Paediatric Stevens–Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Among Clinicians From Australasian Tertiary Referral Hospitals

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Paediatric Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a rare, severe mucocutaneous reaction requiring coordinated multidisciplinary care. Existing guidelines provide evidence‐based recommendations, but implementation across tertiary paediatric hospitals requires practical consensus on local resources.

Normalization of activated partial thromboplastin time and diluted Russell’s viper venom time ratios can be safely omitted in the assessment of lupus anticoagulant

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Normalization of lupus anticoagulant (LA) ratios is recommended by both the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute and the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis to reduce inter-assay and intra-assay variation.

Ruling out lupus anticoagulants with mixing test–specific cutoff assessment and the index of circulating anticoagulant

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2019
Background Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is classified in the antibody family that is recognized in antiphospholipid syndrome. Mixing tests are recommended for LA detection, and either a mixing test–specific cutoff (MTC) or index of circulating anticoagulant (

Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...
