Use of a capillary specimen in the laboratory to verify a point-of-care international normalized ratio: Avoidance of a venipuncture in a pediatric setting.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it has been shown that AML-derived cells often remain sensitive to autophagy-inducing stimuli, leading to the idea that harnessing the autophagy can be pertinent to AML cytotoxic therapy. Despite this promising notion, to date, there is no comprehensive study addressing aut...
