Risk of hereditary spherocytosis misdiagnosis due to limited effective diagnostic methods
Introduction: Hereditary spherocytosis is a prevalent congenital hemolytic erythrocyte membranopathy. Laboratory diagnosis is traditionally based on erythrocyte morphology, yet 20% of cases may lack visible spherocytes, leading to misdiagnosis.

In-depth analysis of osmotic gradient ektacytometry parameters across different genotypes in hereditary spherocytosis. [PDF]
Summary Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a hereditary haemolytic anaemia, caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding red blood cell membrane proteins. Osmotic gradient ektacytometry evaluates red cell deformability and hydration and is increasingly used in the diagnosis of HS.

A Case of Adrenal Myelolipoma Associated with Hereditary Spherocytosis
Hereditary spherocytosis is the most common hereditary red blood cell membrane disorder. It results from a deficiency in certain proteins that are part of the red blood cell membrane cytoskeleton.

On-Chip Evaluation of Red Blood Cell Deformability Through Transit Velocity Index in Hematological Diseases. [PDF]
The deformability of red blood cell is essential for smooth microcirculation. We propose a deformability index using a microfluidic platform with capillary‐like constrictions, based on the relationship between cell deformation and transit velocity through the constrictions. Its effectiveness and clinical potential have been demonstrated in applications

Fulminant Haemolysis Following Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
We report the case of a 77-year-old-man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) because of a gallstone in the common bile duct.

Background The laboratory diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis commonly relies on NaCl-based or glycerol-based red cell osmotic fragility tests; more recently, an assay directly targeting the hereditary spherocytosis molecular defect (eosin-5′-maleimide-
