Laboratory markers of disease severity in Plasmodium knowlesi infection: a case control study. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium knowlesi malaria causes severe disease in up to 10% of cases in Malaysian Borneo and has a mortality rate of 1 - 2%. However, laboratory markers with the ability to identify patients at risk of developing complications have not yet

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]

, 2020
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Impact of platelet count on results obtained from multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (Multiplate™)

European Journal of Medical Research, 2010
Objectives Use of potent antiplatelet drugs requires evaluation of platelet function. While platelet function in elective cases is usually assessed in a central laboratory environment, there is also an urgent need for rapid perioperative point-of-care ...

A The ratio of neutrophils l and the mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio as risk factors for febrile convulsions in Zakho

Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences
Background and objective: The most prevalent cause of convulsions in young children is febrile convulsions. The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR), the mean platelet volume (MPV), and the platelet count are indicators of inflammation.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

PLATELET COUNTS AND PLATELET FUNCTION [PDF]

Blood, 1946
Abstract Determinations of the platelet count, clot retraction, bleeding time, capillary fragility, and coagulation time were made in 64 normal subjects and in 404 patients suffering from various diseases. The normal values for the platelet count done by an experienced technician using the Rees and Ecker method were: mean,
