Laboratory workflow for optimizing leukocyte count and differential in synovial fluids on Sysmex XN-1000
CONCLUSION: Our workflow based on scattergram interpretation resulted in accurate WBC counts in synovial fluid using automated/and or manual methods. It is important to identify the presence of "banana-shape" scattergrams to avoid overestimated automated WBC counts. Overall, automated synovial WBC count can be used, even for patients with arthroplasty, but after visual inspection of the scattergram to exclude possible interferences.PMID:38530029 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14274 (Source: International Journal of Laboratory Hematology)

Wide spectrum of novel and rare hemoglobin variants in the multi-ethnic Indian population: A review
Int J Lab Hematol. 2024 Mar 19. doi: 10.1111/ijlh.14267. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe hemoglobin (Hb) variants are qualitative abnormalities due to production of structurally abnormal globin proteins. They are categorized based on the type of mutation present in the α1, α2, β, Gγ, Aγ and δ globin genes. So far, more than 1550 Hb variants are reported in the database. They could lead to Hb polymerization, Hb instability, altered oxygen affinity and decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of Hb or have no clinical manifestations. In India, ethnic diversity, consanguinity, regional variations and migration result in the...
