It shows red blood cells flowing around a large, white, mesh-like structure. While anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL) are traditionally used diagnostically in the context of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or lupus erythematosus (SLE), a 10-year cohort study published in The American Journal of Medicine (2026) now demonstrates their prognostic significance. The study shows that aPL positivity—independent of APS or SLE—is a strong predictor of long-term mortality and hospital readmission. […]

]]> Understanding Scleroderma and Its Diagnostic Tests https://www.medipan.de/understanding-scleroderma-and-its-diagnostic-tests/ Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:48:00 +0000 https://www.medipan.de/?p=103389 The image shows the open palm of a person with visible signs of scleroderma. The skin on the hand is thickened, taut, and appears shiny. Deep, cracked lines are noticeable at the joints and across the palm, indicating a hardening and stiffening of the skin. The skin looks dry and scaly, and the fingers appear swollen. June is recognized as Scleroderma Awareness Month to honor those affected by the disease. The month ends with World Scleroderma Day on June 29. This date commemorates Swiss painter Paul Klee, who died of systemic sclerosis in 19401. Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a rare autoimmune disease. It causes hardening and tightening of the skin […]

In the foreground sits the "akiron® NEO" analyzer with an integrated screen displaying an immunofluorescence image (bright green dots on a black background). Pipettes, a barcode scanner, and a microscope are also visible on the lab bench. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) on HEp-2 cells remains the gold standard screening method for systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD), including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis and Sjögren’s syndrome. However, manual interpretation of ANA HEp-2 IFA patterns is time-consuming, operator-dependent and subject to inter-observer variability. A recent large-scale study published in […]

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease affecting the bile ducts and often leading to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventually liver failure. PSC also carries an increased risk of hepatobiliary malignancies, particularly cholangiocarcinoma. Despite significant research efforts, PSC remains difficult to diagnose and manage because its pathogenesis is not fully understood and reliable […]
