Objectives: This study aimed to describe the burden of thrombocytopenia, supportive care practices, bleeding complications and predictors of bleeding in MDS patients within a large Australian hospital network, to better understand the use and effectiveness of platelet transfusions in MDS.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥18 years with MDS, chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia or MDS/myeloproliferative overlap neoplasm admitted from 2016 to 2018 was conducted. Data were obtained from hospital medical records.
Article Synopsis
- Traditional methods for measuring protein biomarkers in blood are complicated and time-consuming, requiring extensive incubation and washing steps.
- A new wearable patch has been developed for real-time detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) in sweat, addressing variations in sweat composition and allowing for easier point-of-care monitoring.
- This patch combines sweat extraction, microfluidic technology, and a graphene-based sensor to accurately measure CRP levels, showing strong correlations with serum CRP levels in patients with chronic conditions.
