Reducing blood sample hemolysis at a tertiary hospital emergency department.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To determine the causes for sample hemolysis and measure the effect of an intervention to reduce sample hemolysis in the Emergency Department of a large hospital. METHODS: We conducted a phased, prospective, interventional study. In phase ... Read more...

Real time monitoring of sickle cell hemoglobin fiber formation by UV resonance Raman spectroscopy.

18 Oct 2009 In sickle cell hemoglobin, individual tetramers associate into long fibers as a consequence of the mutation at the beta6 position. In this study UV resonance Raman spectroscopy is used to monitor the formation of Hb S fibers in real time through ... Read more...

Structure-activity relationships for substrate-based inhibitors of human complement factor B.

6 Oct 2009 Human complement is a cascading network of plasma proteins important in immune defense, cooperatively effecting recognition, opsonization, destruction, and removal of pathogens and infected/damaged cells. Overstimulated or unregulated complement ... Read more...
