Successful use of phlebotomy to treat severe secondary polycythemia due to chronic lung disease

Hematology Reports, 2021
Secondary polycythemia (SP) occurs as a result of increase erythropoietin levels most commonly as a result of tissue hypoxia. Symptoms such as erythromelalgia, pruritis, and bleeding, which are frequently seen in polycythemia vera (PV), do not commonly ...

The results of a close follow-up of trainees to gain a good blood collection practice [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2020
Background: Phlebotomy is one of the most important steps in the preanalytical phase of a clinical laboratory process. In order to decrease phlebotomy errors, this specific procedure should be taught in detail by laboratory organizations.

A Versatile Engineering Platform for the Fabrication of Prosthetic Venous Valves Using Electrospinning

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Percutaneous prosthetic venous valves are fabricated by embedding stents in an electrospun matrix that extends luminally to form leaflets. The design shields leaflets from hyperplastic cells, isolates struts from blood contact, and avoids discrete anchoring points.

Detection of a Distinct Erythropoietin (EPO) Profile After Isoelectric Focusing in Patients With Familial Erythrocytosis

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A basic EPO IEF profile was identified in patients with familial erythropoiesis linked to mutations in noncoding parts of EPO gene. Comparison of blood and urine EPO profiles from these patients differed from adult wild‐type EPO (WT) and from Eprex‐administered patients. Patients' EPO do not differ from WT EPO after analysis using SDS‐PAGE/SAR‐PAGE. It

Tumor‐educated platelets in cancer diagnostics and prognostics: A critical appraisal and roadmap for clinical translation

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Tumor‐educated platelets (TEPs) are emerging as a compelling frontier in liquid biopsy, functioning as dynamic, systemic sensors that sequester and process tumor‐derived biomolecules. This interaction imprints an integrated molecular signature of malignancy—spanning the transcriptome, proteome, lipidome, and crucially, the captured genome ...

Different effect of hydroxyurea and phlebotomy on prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis in Polycythemia Vera

Blood Cancer Journal, 2018
Clonal proliferation of hematopoietic precursors leading to progressive expansion of myeloid cells with a predominant increase of red cells characterizes the hematological phenotype of Polycythemia Vera (PV). The resulting blood hyperviscosity is a major

Prolonged Turnaround Time of the Hematology Laboratory and Related Factors in the South Gondar Zone, North West Ethiopia, Multi‐Centered Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Long turnaround times were prevalent in the hematology laboratories of South Gonder zone hospitals, predominantly as a result of staff incompetence. Clotted blood samples, low blood fill levels, and the day of the week were significant factors linked to delays, with samples collected on Friday having a higher likelihood of prolonged turnaround time ...

The impact of phlebotomy and hydroxyurea on survival and risk of thrombosis among older patients with polycythemia vera.

Blood Advances, 2018
Current guidelines recommend therapeutic phlebotomy for all polycythemia vera (PV) patients and additional cytoreductive therapy (eg, hydroxyurea [HU]) for high-risk PV patients.

Derivation and validation of the Pediatric Community‐Acquired Pneumonia Severity (PedCAPS) score: A prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent and costly cause of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Previous prognostic tools for CAP are limited by small samples, single‐center or retrospective designs, lack of generalizability to ED settings, lack of biomarkers, or limited objective data.
