Multicenter Interlaboratory Study of Thrombin Generation Assay in Healthy Adults Using the ST Genesia Analyzer With the STG‐ThromboScreen Reagent (With and Without Thrombomodulin)

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Fully automated thrombin generation (TG) assays facilitate the transition from research to clinical application. We conducted a multicenter inter‐laboratory study using the ST Genesia analyzer to evaluate assay performance and establish reference intervals in healthy adults from Spain and Portugal.

How I Investigate Bleeding Disorders of Unknown Cause: Current Diagnostic Pathways and Gaps in Laboratory Investigation

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC) constitutes the largest group of patients presenting with a mild‐to‐moderate bleeding tendency in tertiary care settings. Their clinical bleeding phenotype is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding, as well as bleeding following surgical challenges or childbirth, and is associated with impaired health‐

Testing for Non‐Severe Heritable Platelet Function Disorders

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heritable platelet function disorders (HPFD) are a diverse group of bleeding disorders characterised by a primary qualitative defect in platelet function rather than platelet number. HPFD may be broadly categorised according to the severity of bleeding, with Glanzmann thrombasthenia and Bernard Soulier syndrome classically considered severe ...

BSAVA Petsavers Article: Validation of an ELISA assay for measurement of the metabolite of serotonin, 5‐hydroxyindole acetic acid (5‐HIAA), in canine urine

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptophan), implicated in a number of canine diseases, has a very short half‐life in the serum. Urine concentration of its breakdown product 5‐hydroxyindole acetic acid after an 8 hour fast is a more reliable measure of circulating serotonin in humans.

Impact of delayed blood donation sample processing and testing on SARS‐CoV‐2 serological assay results in an evolving pandemic response

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The two largest US blood collection organizations led a multiphased, multicenter nationwide SARS‐CoV‐2 blood donor‐based serosurveillance program. The potential impact of delayed sample processing and prolonged refrigerated or frozen storage on anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody detection was investigated.

Loss of Stability for Blood Urea Nitrogen in Cattle Serum Samples Stored for 3 and 6 Months at −20°C and −80°C

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biological samples are stored for delayed or add‐on analyses. However, storage conditions, including time and temperature, can affect the stability of measurands in the samples. Objectives To assess the stability of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in cattle serum samples.
