Design and Implementation of an Automated Interpretation Algorithm for Lupus Anticoagulant Functional Testing

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lupus anticoagulant (LA) testing is essential, albeit complex, in the laboratory diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Given the multi‐step workflow and the variability introduced by anticoagulant therapy, reagent differences, and interpretive approaches, result interpretation requires expert evaluation.

Prothrombin Time and Partial Thromboplastin Time Test Values of Cigarette Smokers in Calabar, Cross-River State, Nigeria

, 2012
Smoking injures blood vessel walls by damaging endothelial cells, thus increasing permeability to lipids and other blood components. It is a major health problem that results in significant morbidity and mortality.

How I Investigate Borderline Prolonged aPTT: An Integrated Laboratory Approach to Mixing Studies and Factor Analysis

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Borderline prolongation of routine clotting assays—particularly the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)—is a common interpretative challenge in laboratory hematology. These reproducible but mildly prolonged results often lie just beyond the upper reference limit and can trigger unnecessary follow‐up, delays, or misinterpretation ...

Anaphylactic transfusion reaction to group B platelets related to alpha‐gal syndrome: A case report

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a distinct form of IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity to the carbohydrate galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal), typically occurs after repeated tick bites and leads to allergic reactions after ingestion of mammalian meat.

Measurement of prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time in citrated whole blood samples from clinically ill dogs following storage

, 2012
Objectives To assess the reliability of prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time results generated from citrated whole blood samples following short-term storage at room temperature. Methods Clotting times were measured in blood samples

Acute pain transfusion reaction in a patient with thalassemia: In‐depth characterization of short‐ and long‐term phenotypes

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acute pain transfusion reaction (APTR) is a rare, under‐recognized condition of unknown etiology. It can cause significant distress in recipients, necessitating symptomatic management and, occasionally, hospitalization. Study Design and Methods Here, we present an APTR event in an adult subject with transfusion‐dependent thalassemia

Some Aspects of Kinetics of the First Stages of Blood Thromboplastin Formation

, 1959
SummaryThe first stages of blood thromboplastin generation were investigated. Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent, Prephase Accelerator, and Hageman factor are involved in the reactions taking place during the lag period.
