Introduction The prevention and treatment of blood clots, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, have traditionally relied on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to anticoagulation therapy. However, this approach often proves inadequate, resulting in suboptimal outcomes for many patients. Dr. Abeer AbouYabis says,  variations in individual genetics, comorbidities, and drug metabolism significantly impact the effectiveness and […]

Introduction The formation of blood clots, medically known as thrombosis, represents a significant global health concern. Dr. Abeer AbouYabis says,  these clots can obstruct blood flow, leading to a range of serious complications including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, and heart attack. Accurate and timely prediction of thrombosis risk is crucial for effective […]

Introduction: Unveiling the Complexities of Anemia Anemia, characterized by a lower-than-normal red blood cell count or hemoglobin level, is a prevalent health concern affecting millions globally. Dr. Abeer AbouYabis says,  while often associated with iron deficiency, the reality is far more nuanced. A significant portion of anemia cases stem from underlying chronic diseases, presenting a complex […]

Introduction Anemia, a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin, affects millions globally. Often dismissed as a minor ailment, anemia carries a significant burden, impacting physical and cognitive function, productivity, and overall quality of life. Its insidious nature often means it goes undiagnosed until symptoms become severe, highlighting the need for […]

Introduction Hematology, the branch of medicine concerned with blood and its disorders, has traditionally relied on laboratory tests and manual analyses for diagnosing conditions such as anemia, leukemia, and clotting disorders. While these conventional methods have been effective, they are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and dependent on the expertise of specialists.  Say’s Dr. Abeer AbouYabis,  with the […]

Introduction Anemia, a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin, affects millions of people worldwide and poses a significant public health challenge. While conventional treatments such as iron supplements, blood transfusions, and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents provide relief, they often fail to address the underlying genetic causes of anemia. Inherited blood disorders such […]

Introduction Blood clotting is a vital physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding after an injury. However, abnormal clot formation can lead to serious medical conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attacks. Traditional methods of diagnosing and managing clotting disorders often rely on periodic blood tests and generalized treatment protocols, […]

Introduction Anemia, a condition characterized by a deficiency of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin, affects millions of people worldwide. While mild cases can often go unnoticed, severe anemia can lead to fatigue, cognitive impairment, and even life-threatening complications.  Say’s Dr. Abeer AbouYabis,  traditional diagnostic methods rely on periodic blood tests, which may not provide a […]

Introduction Chronic anemia is a widespread condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, characterized by a long-term deficiency in the number or quality of red blood cells or hemoglobin. This condition can be caused by various underlying factors, such as nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, blood loss, or bone marrow disorders. Say’s Dr. Abeer AbouYabis, while traditional […]

Introduction Blood clotting disorders, such as hemophilia, thrombophilia, and vitamin K deficiency, are serious medical conditions that affect the body’s ability to regulate blood clot formation. These disorders can lead to life-threatening complications, including excessive bleeding or unwanted clot formation, making timely diagnosis and treatment crucial. Say’s Dr. Abeer AbouYabis, while traditional treatments have significantly improved […]
