Different Analytical Modes on Automatic Hematology Analyzers for Testing Quality Control Materials and Commutability Assessment

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hematological disorders, critical for diagnosis, and monitoring, rely on accurate complete blood count results from automated analyzers, the reliability of which depends on robust quality control (QC). However, the ability of commutability of commercial hematology QC materials (HQCM) to behave like patient samples across different

Is It Time to Raise the Threshold for Critically Low Fibrinogen? Insights From a Retrospective, Consecutive‐Case Cohort Study of Low Fibrinogen due to Various Causes

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Fibrinogen deficiency is an important coagulation abnormality, with diverse causes. Methods A consecutive‐case cohort study of adult and pediatric patients with low Clauss fibrinogen at four acute care hospitals was undertaken to explore findings, causes, and predictors of outcomes, including the optimal fibrinogen critical value ...

High‐Intensity Interval Training Modulates NLRP3 Inflammasome‐Related Expression and Monocyte Subset Distribution in Adults With Obesity: A Randomised Trial

Immunology, EarlyView.
In sedentary adults with obesity, 8 weeks of high‐intensity interval training prevented the shift toward a pro‐inflammatory monocyte profile seen in nontrained controls—most robustly, a significantly lower proportion of intermediate monocytes at Week 8 (p = 0.014) while the control group also showed a within‐group rise in NLRP3 expression not observed ...

Association of Vitamin B6 and Homocysteine–ACTH Coupling With Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Burning Mouth Syndrome: An Exploratory Case–Control Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this exploratory case–control study, plasma PLP (vitamin B6), homocysteine and ACTH concentrations did not differ between patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and controls, and none discriminated patients individually. Within patients, however, psychological distress mapped onto a homocysteine–ACTH relationship from which PLP appeared ...

Improving wound swab collection in paediatric patients: a quality improvement project

BMJ Open Quality, 2023
Microbiology sample swabs may be unsuccessful or rejected for a variety of reasons. Typically, errors occur in the preanalytical phase of sample collection. Errors with collection, handling and transport can lead to the need to repeat specimen collection.
