Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that certain tests, particularly cardiac biomarkers, blood gases, and specific drug levels, were perceived to pose a higher risk for patient harm due to erroneous results.
- * There was strong agreement (91%) between medical biochemists and clinicians regarding the severity scores, highlighting the tests that require focused quality improvement efforts.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine fatty acid binding protein-4 (FABP-4) concentrations in maternal serum of fetal growth restriction (FGR) pregnancies and controls of normal pregnancies. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the alterations in FABP-4 levels might correlate with FGR severity.
Methods: We performed this prospective case-control study with 83 pregnant women.
Background: As previously reported, the measurement of ethanol can also be affected by interference from hemolysis. This is a matter of concern since ethanol is widely regarded as the most commonly abused substance globally. When sample re-collection is ordered to eliminate hemolysis effects for ethanol testing, this can have unfavourable consequences for these patients.

- The study aimed to assess new biomarkers for diagnosing and treating endometriosis in women with advanced stages of the disease compared to control patients.
- The researchers compared various biomarkers in preoperative and postoperative serum samples, finding that only Ca-125 showed significant diagnostic value alone, with high sensitivity and specificity.
- The combination of Ca-125 and Annexin A5 (ANXA5) demonstrated even greater diagnostic accuracy, suggesting it could be a more effective approach for identifying endometriosis.
Background: The SF-8200 is a new coagulation analyzer developed by Beijing Succeeder Technology Inc., China. The SF-8200 is able to perform clotting, chromogenic, and immunoturbidimetric tests.
