Body composition of Fanconi anemia patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Conclusion: All patients presented low muscle stores, underweight was common in adults, and short stature was common in children and adolescents. More studies are needed to detect whether muscle mass loss measured at the early stages of treatment results in higher risk of mortality, considering the importance of muscle mass as an essential body component to prevent mortality related to infectious and non-infectious diseases and the malnutrition inherent to Fanconi anemia.

Evaluation of criteria of manual blood smear review following automated complete blood counts in a large university hospital
Conclusions: Group 3 had the best relationship between safety (false-negative rate: ≤ 3%) and efficiency to estimate the limits of automation in performing complete blood counts. This study strengthens the importance of establishing screening criteria for manual blood smear reviews, which account for the different contexts in which hematological determinations are performed. Each laboratory should optimize the screening criteria for manual blood smear reviews in order to maximize their efficiency and safety. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia)
