Determination of temporal reproducibility and variability of cancer biomarkers in serum and EDTA plasma samples using a proximity extension assay.

Background: Proximity extension assay (PEA) is a novel antibody-based proteomic technology. Sparse data have been published concerning the matrix effect of serum vs. ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma and the reproducibility of results obtained using PEA technology.

Prognosis of Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Recipients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective, Single-Centre Study.

Background: Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a procedure with inherent complications and intensive care may be necessary. We evaluated the short- and long-term outcomes of the HSCT recipients requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: We retrospectively examined the outcome of 54 adult haematological HSCT recipients admitted to the ICU at the University Hospital Rigshospitalet between January 2007 and March 2012.
