Magnetophoretic separation of blood cells at the microscale [PDF]
We present a method and model for the direct and continuous separation of red and white blood cells in plasma. The method is implemented at the microscale using a microfluidic system that consists of an array of integrated soft-magnetic elements embedded beneath a microfluidic channel.

Sequential Re-estimation Learning of Optimal Individualized Treatment Rules Among Ordinal Treatments with Application to Recommended Intervals Between Blood Donations [PDF]
Personalized medicine has gained much popularity recently as a way of providing better healthcare by tailoring treatments to suit individuals. Our research, motivated by the UK INTERVAL blood donation trial, focuses on estimating the optimal individualized treatment rule (ITR) in the ordinal treatment-arms setting.

Sizing nanomatter in biological fluids by fluorescence single particle tracking [PDF]
Accurate sizing of nanoparticles in biological media is important for drug delivery and biomedical imaging applications since size directly influences the nanoparticle processing and nanotoxicity in vivo.

The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

MicroRNAs as potential diagnostic biomarkers for bipolar disorder
Abnormal expression of microRNAs is connected to brain development and disease and could provide novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of bipolar disorder.

Analysis of the suitability of an effective viscosity to represent interactions between red blood cells [PDF]
Many methods to computationally predict red blood cell damage have been introduced, and among these are Lagrangian methods which track the cells along their pathlines. Such methods typically do not explicitly include cell-cell interactions. Due to the high volume fraction of red blood cells in blood, these interactions could impact cell mechanics and ...

The problem of collecting different body fluids from drivers in the surveys [PDF]
Objectives: It is not easy to obtain a blood sample from drivers at the roadside for use in epidemiological studies. Therefore, use of saliva samples has become popular.

Pseudohypocalcemia caused by perchlorate (Irenat (R)) [PDF]
Background: Blood gas analysis (BGA), including measurement of ionized calcium, is performed routinely in patients with end stage renal disease on renal replacement therapy, especially when using citrate for regional anticoagulation.

Targeted metabolomics reveals novel diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer
This study employed targeted metabolomic profiling to identify 302 distinct metabolites present in platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), revealing aberrant metabolic profiles amongst individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 19‐9 (CA199), our metabolite panel showed improved sensitivity ...
