Poor Performance of LDL-Cholesterol Equations versus Beta Quantification in a Very Large Cohort of Patients with Dyslipidemia

Clin Chem. 2026 Apr 28:hvag038. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvag038. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Accurate estimations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is important to guide clinical decisions concerning lipid-lowering treatment. The Friedewald formula has been used for the past 50 years, but its limitations compared to the reference β-quantification method have led to the development of … Read more

Saliva vs Plasma in Liquid Biopsy Sampling for Head and Neck Cancer: A Comparative Study

Clin Chem. 2026 Apr 28:hvag035. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvag035. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rising incidence and poor prognosis. Liquid biopsy, utilizing biofluids such as blood and saliva, offers a noninvasive approach to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor … Read more

Post-transplant ring sideroblasts are common in haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation but not linked to SF3B1 mutationsMarlene Hollensteinon April 26, 2026 at 10:00 am

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Apr 22. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2026-0080. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of erythroid dysplasia and ring sideroblasts (RS) after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), stratified by transplant type, and to assess the association with SF3B1 mutations and event-free survival (EFS).

Reporting of pre-analytical variables affecting the determination of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in patients with stroke: a scoping reviewElisa Bevilacquaon April 25, 2026 at 10:00 am

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Apr 21. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2026-0277. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin expressed in the central nervous system, where it supports synaptic plasticity, neuronal survival, and dendritic remodeling. Reduced circulating BDNF levels have been reported in several neurological and psychiatric disorders, increasing evidence links BDNF … Read more

ANA fluorescence patterns and low C4 are associated with higher antiphospholipid antibody serological intensity in routine diagnostic testingNikolaos Androulakison April 25, 2026 at 10:00 am

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Apr 20. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-1709. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether antinuclear antibody (ANA) titre or HEp-2 fluorescence patterns are associated with antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) serological intensity, and to examine component-specific complement abnormalities – particularly low C4 – as laboratory correlates compatible with classical-pathway involvement. METHODS: This retrospective … Read more
