The results obtained from the present study suggest that complement mediated solubilization is less in patients with tuberculosis, and this defective solubilization is likely to take part in a vicious cycle involving immune complex deposition and complement activation and, thus, may lead to disease progression depending on the nature of the defect.
High-grade PanIN-3 lesions showed significant association with pancreatic malignancy. Obstructive jaundice and CA 19-9 ≥ 137.5 could predict PanIN positivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
