Article Synopsis
- * A new forecasting model was developed to predict future consumption of coagulation tests like PTT, D-dimer, and fibrinogen, using historical data and examining their variability during the pandemic.
- * The model utilized data from December 2018 to July 2021, analyzing monthly test consumption and admission numbers through a nonlinear autoregressive artificial neural network (NARX) in MATLAB, with a focus on validating the model's accuracy from January to July 2021.
Proper blood collection and timely analysis are vital steps for reliable results. This study aims to compare potassium(K), calcium(Ca), and phosphorus(P) concentrations in serum separator tube (SST), lithium heparin tube without gel (LiH), and lithium heparin tube with a barrier (Barricor)tubes in essential thrombocytosis(ET) patients. Additionally, we assessed short-term stability of these analytes at room temperature.

This study aimed to investigate the utility of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in diagnosing and predicting clinical severity in children with COVID-19.
Methods: Between October 2020 and March 2021, 41 cases constituted the COVID-19 group and 41 cases constituted the healthy control group.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the availability of serum amyloid A (SAA) in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), to asses disease severity and to predict hospitalization status.
Methods: Between March, 2020 and March, 2021, a total of 80 children (40 cases with COVID-19 and 40 cases in healthy group) were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups (mild and moderate/severe) to evaluate SAA levels in terms of clinical severity and also hospitalization status.
Introduction: Respiratory abnormalities in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are corrected with positive pressure ventilation treatments. We investigated the effect of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on the serum level of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), an oxidative stress product, in OSAS patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and indication for PAP treatment.
Materials And Methods: Seven consecutive female and 23 male patients with a BMI of ≥30 kg/m2 who were diagnosed as having OSAS according to ICSD3 criteria and were planned for PAP, were included.
