The peripheral B-1-cell population in patients with endometriosis is related to ANA production. B-1 cells might play important roles in the development of endometriosis through autoantibody production.
The LAMP detection method outperformed the culture and PCR methods. Early detection enables appropriate antibiotic selection for improved prenatal outcomes.
A 10-year-old female spayed mixed breed cat with a subcutaneous mass on the right hind
limb was revealed with bimodal monoclonal gammopathy composed of IgA by
immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation. Approximately 1 month after referral, the cat
died due to renal failure. Postmortem immunohistopathologic evaluation of the subcutaneous
mass revealed neoplastic cell proliferation of plasma cells and giant myeloma cells.
Neoplastic cells were also present in the liver and spleen. These results led to the
diagnosis of a rare case of feline myeloma-related disorders with extramedullary
plasmacytoma infiltrating in multiple locations. This report emphasizes the necessity to
accumulate cases with similar clinicopathologic findings in the future.
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.
