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‐

Greater efficiency observed 12 months post-implementation of an automatic tube sorting and registration system in a core laboratory [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2016
Background: Sample classification and registration have been recognized as important and time-consuming processes in laboratories. There is increasing pressure on laboratories to automate processes due to intense workload and reduce manual procedures and

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 ...

Analytical Performance of the Sysmex XF‐1600 Flow Cytometer in Routine Clinical Practice

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Flow cytometry systems are increasingly used for the identification and quantification of lymphocyte subpopulations, supporting the diagnosis and monitoring of hematological and immunological conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the analytical performance of the novel Sysmex XF‐1600 flow cytometer for lymphocyte subpopulation ...

Assessment of bedside transfusion practices at a tertiary care center: A step closer to controlling the chaos

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2018
Background: Blood transfusion chain can be divided into three phases: preanalytical (patient bedside), analytical (steps done at transfusion services), and postanalytical (bedside).

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 ...

Glycated albumin: An old yet new biomarker in people with diabetes and the potential for novel applications

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycated albumin (GA), the product of nonenzymatic glycation of serum albumin, reflects the mean glucose levels over the preceding approximately 2 weeks, bridging the gap between daily self‐monitoring of blood glucose and the roughly 3‐month window covered by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement.

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.

Evaluation of a Commercially Available Canine C‐Reactive Protein Assay Across Institutions and After 2 Years of Frozen Storage

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background C‐reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker of systemic inflammation in dogs. There is limited data on inter‐laboratory comparability of the results or the effects of long‐term storage. Objectives (1) Compare CRP measurements across three institutions utilizing the same assay.
