Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a biomarker commonly used in the diagnosis of various malignancies but may also be elevated in non-neoplastic conditions, including hypothyroidism. We report the case of a 3-year-old girl with Down syndrome (DS) and newly d...

Chronic heart failure (CHF) carries high morbidity and mortality. Circulating biomarkers of myocardial stretch, injury, and remodelling aids diagnosis and prognosis, but utility varies, especially in HFpEF, where natriuretic peptide (NP) values may b...

Dried blood spots (DBSs) are a practical tool for diagnosing infectious diseases, especially in remote or resource-limited settings. This study assessed the efficacy of DBS-based serological assays for syphilis screening. EDTA blood samples from 171...

A 39-question survey targeting recent graduates was deployed by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) to its membership nationwide by email. Participants were prompted to reflect on clinical educators from whom they had learned the most...

Timely reporting of microbiological results is critical for clinical decision-making, particularly in pediatric hospitals where delays can significantly impact outcomes. Despite advances in laboratory automation, workflow inefficiencies and resistanc...

Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) continue to pose a major global health threat, particularly among vulnerable populations. These infections often present with similar clinical symptoms, complicating accurate diagnosis and facilitating unmonitored...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, significantly elevates the risk of stroke and heart failure. The etiology of AF is complex and multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, environmental risk factors, and their po...
