  • Actually, albumin and lymphocyte count are biochemical parameters successfully used in common clinical practices for highlighting and monitoring certain specific diseases [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Also, the term "primary cutaneous CD4 + small/medium T-cell lymphoma" was changed to "primary cutaneous CD4 + small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder" because of its indolent clinical behavior and uncertain malignant potential. (medscape.com)
  • Participant flow through the study according to image stratification and cumulative diagnostic yields for all diagnoses (All, n=100), malignant pleural effusions (MPE, n=58) and pleural tuberculosis (TB, n=36). (bmj.com)
  • Because lymphocytes account for only 20 to 40% of the total white blood cell (WBC) count, lymphocytopenia may go unnoticed if the WBC count is checked without a differential. (msdmanuals.com)

  • Pseudoprogression refers to a specific pattern of response sometimes observed in malignant melanoma patients receiving treatment with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. (biomedcentral.com)
  • and (iii) the dramatic reductions to lymphocyte numbers and function 1-2 h after exercise reflects a transient and time-dependent redistribution of immune cells to peripheral tissues, resulting in a heightened state of immune surveillance and immune regulation, as opposed to immune suppression. (frontiersin.org)
  • The stratification of the results by department and diagnosis suggests that there is a higher correlation in certain subpopulations, and albumin shows a greater correlation with length of stay than lymphocytes. (biomedcentral.com)
  • However, the patients with ALCs equal to or greater than the median at 3 months showed relatively better TNT than those with lower lymphocyte counts, with a significant difference. (cancerdiagnosisprognosis.org)
