BMC Clinical Pathology 2009, 9 :11
Immunohistochemical subtyping of patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the resource-limited country Uganda showed that most have the clinically aggressive Burkitt lymphoma, and in these patients receiving chemotherapy is associated with good prognosis.
BMC Clinical Pathology 2009, 9 :10
Arginine in whole blood samples at room temperature is rapidly degraded while taurine increases both at room temperature and on ice, so blood for amino acid analyses needs to be placed on ice or processed quickly after collection.
BMC Clinical Pathology 2009, 9 :7
Changes in serum levels and activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in type I diabetes patients may correlate to early nephropathy, and are potentially useful as markers of people at risk of progression to chronic kidney disease.
