Validation of low-volume blood collection tubes for routine hematologic testing.
J Med Biochem
November 2024
General Hospital of Verona, Service of Laboratory Medicine, Verona, Italy.
Background: Low-volume blood tubes offer several advantages in facilitating blood collection, reducing iatrogenic anemia and spurious hemolysis, but their clinical reliability must be validated. We planned this investigation for establishing the reliability of routine hematologic testing in low-volume tubes before their implementation into clinical practice.
Methods: Blood was drawn from 44 ostensibly healthy laboratory professionals into three blood tubes, as follows: 3.
Comparative performance analysis of different microfilaria testing methods for Dirofilaria immitis in canine blood.
Parasit Vectors
November 2024
Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Stillwater, OK, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Microfilaria (MF) testing is crucial for diagnosing canine heartworm, and the American Heartworm Society recommends annual testing for all dogs, regardless of their prevention history.
- Various MF testing methods exist, each differing in reliability, cost, and complexity; the study evaluates methods like the modified Knott test (MKT) and PCR, which are the most reliable but also more expensive and time-consuming.
- While the most reliable tests can identify heartworm even at low levels and confirm species, simpler tests like thin smears are less reliable, especially for accurate detection of MF-positive dogs at lower burdens.
Treatment of experimental hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in horses with enteral electrolyte solution containing sodium acetate.
Front Vet Sci
September 2024
Laborary of Research in Veterinary Internal Medicine, Veterinary Department, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Viçosa, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- This study looks at a way to help horses that have a condition called hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, which is when their body has too much acid.
- Researchers tested two different drinks for horses with varying amounts of a substance called acetate to see if they could fix the problem.
- The results showed that one drink with a high level of acetate worked well to balance the horses' electrolytes and help them feel better.
Comparative Analysis of Demographic Characteristics, Management, and Outcomes in Primary Versus Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax.
Cureus
July 2024
Cardiothoracic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine for Girls, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, EGY.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the differences between primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) in demographic and clinical features, management trends, and outcomes, alongside assessing recurrence risk factors in spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study at New Damietta Hospital, Al-Azhar University, examined data from adults diagnosed with SP, differentiating between PSP and SSP types based on clinical and radiological criteria, to analyze demographics, clinical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes.
Results: In a study of 170 patients, 42.
