Targeted DNA Methylation Analysis Facilitates Leukocyte Counts in Dried Blood Samples

Hubens, W. H. G.; Maie, T.; Schnitker, M.; Bocova, L.; Puri, D.; Wessiepe, M.; Kramer, J.; Rink, L.; Koschmieder, S.; Costa, I. G.; Wagner, W.
Clin Chem | 2023

This study used targeted DNA-methylation markers and digital droplet PCR to estimate leukocyte subsets in venous and dried blood, including samples collected with Mitra devices. The epigenetic estimates correlated well with conventional cell counts, supporting accurate leukocyte analysis from dried blood samples.

A spreadsheet tool for designing statistical quality control programs based on patient risk parameters

Zhang, Y.; Ren, B.; Zou, G.; Yang, L.
Clin Biochem | 2023

Researchers developed an Excel-based tool for designing statistical quality-control programs around patient-risk parameters. The tool calculates measures such as maximum expected unreliable results and run size, helping laboratories assess current strategies and select controls that reduce patient risk.

Machine learning to improve false-positive results in the Dutch newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism

Stroek, K.; Visser, A.; van der Ploeg, C. P. B.; Zwaveling-Soonawala, N.; Heijboer, A. C.; Bosch, A. M.; van Trotsenburg, A. S. P.; Boelen, A.; Hoogendoorn, M.; de Jonge, R.
Clin Biochem | 2023

This study evaluated whether machine learning could reduce false-positive referrals in the Dutch newborn screening program for congenital hypothyroidism. A random-forest approach showed potential to improve the program’s positive predictive value while retaining detection of the cases identified by the existing algorithm.

Calculated Globulin as a potential screening tool for paraproteinemia to aid in the early diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma

O'Brien, A.; Bransfield, A.; O'Halloran, F.; Mykytiv, V.
Clin Biochem | 2023

This study assessed whether routine blood-test results could support earlier recognition of multiple myeloma in primary care. Calculated globulin was the most promising marker and can be derived without adding a new test or cost.

Validation and application of volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) dried blood method for phenylalanine measurement in patients with phenylketonuria

Gao, L.; Smith, N.; Kaushik, D.; Milner, S.; Kong, R.
Clin Biochem | 2023

This study developed and validated a VAMS dried-blood method for phenylalanine monitoring in people with phenylketonuria. Results closely agreed with plasma measurements, supporting at-home collection for clinical monitoring.

Evaluation and comparison of four quantitative SARS-CoV-2 serological assays in COVID-19 patients and immunized healthy individuals, cancer patients, and patients with immunosuppressive therapy

Chan, A.; Martinez-Cajas, J.; Yip, P. M.; Kulasingam, V.; Garland, J.; Holland, D.; Shamseddin, M. K.; Gong, Y.
Clin Biochem | 2023

This study compared four quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays across infection, vaccination, cancer, and immunosuppressed cohorts. Quantitative and qualitative agreement was poor, showing that results from the evaluated platforms are not directly interchangeable.

Preclinical characterization of the Toll-like receptor 7/8 antagonist MHV370 for lupus therapy

Hawtin, S.; Andre, C.; Collignon-Zipfel, G.; Appenzeller, S.; Bannert, B.; Baumgartner, L.; Beck, D.; Betschart, C.; Boulay, T.; Brunner, H. I.; Ceci, M.; Deane, J.; Feifel, R.; Ferrero, E.; Kyburz, D.; Lafossas, F.; Loetscher, P.; Merz-Stoeckle, C.; Michellys, P.; Nuesslein-Hildesheim, B.; Raulf, F.; Rush, J. S.; Ruzzante, G.; Stein, T.; Zaharevitz, S.; Wieczorek, G.; Siegel, R.; Gergely, P.; Shisha, T.; Junt, T.
Cell Rep Med | 2023

This study characterized MHV370, an oral inhibitor of Toll-like receptors 7 and 8, in preclinical lupus models. The compound suppressed disease-relevant immune responses and supported advancement to phase 2 clinical evaluation.

Introduction of an electrochemical point-of-care assay for quantitative determination of paracetamol in finger-prick capillary whole blood samples

Kujala, J.; Wester, N.; Lohela, T. J.; Kurkela, M.; Backman, J. T.; Mikladal, B.; Laurila, T.; Koskinen, J.; Lilius, T. O.; Kalso, E. A.
Br J Clin Pharmacol | 2023

This study validated a rapid electrochemical point-of-care assay for paracetamol in finger-prick whole blood. The method showed promise for rapid testing, although upward bias and occasional sensor performance issues require further refinement.

Biological Fluid Microsampling for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: A Narrative Review

Cafaro, A.; Conti, M.; Pigliasco, F.; Barco, S.; Bandettini, R.; Cangemi, G.
Biomedicines | 2023

This narrative review examines microsampling technologies for therapeutic drug monitoring across blood and other biological fluids. It highlights how high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS can enable accurate analysis from small samples and support routine clinical implementation.

Microsampling in pediatric studies: pharmacokinetic sampling for baricitinib (Olumiant) in global pediatric studies

Wickremsinhe, E. R.; Decker, R. L.; Lee, L. B.; Lelle, E.; Carlton, L. A.; Keller, S. Y.; Prakash, A.
Bioanalysis | 2023

This study implemented 10 µL Mitra microsampling for pharmacokinetic assessment of baricitinib in two global pediatric trials. Concordance and repeat-analysis results were acceptable, and clinical sites reported that microsampling supported pediatric enrollment.
