Prevention of Clinical Laboratory Test Error: Pre-analytical Error
Laboratory test errors are classified into 3 categories: 1) pre-analytical error, 2) analytical error, and 3) post-analytical error. Most errors occur during pre-analytical step, usually caused by human error. The errors make laboratory result unreliable, following with the improper patient care by increasing cost, misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment,

Impact of pre-analytical errors on costs of clinical analysis laboratory
ABSTRACT Introduction: Currently, it is well known that quality assurance systems in healthcare organizations are constantly evolving. Quality improvements can reduce costs by avoiding repetition of exams, which results in a waste of time and money for the company, as well as customer and physician dissatisfaction.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Background: Currently, more than two-thirds of medical decisions are made based on laboratory test results. However, due to the compromised pre-analytical and post-analytical phases (or extra-analytical phase), the reporting of incorrect or inappropriate

Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Approach to pre-analytical errors in a public health laboratory
Abstract Background and objective We aimed to investigate the effect of “training about the pre-analytical phase” and “technological arrangements in laboratory information systems (LISs) and tube barcoding system”, on decreasing PEs ...

An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...
