background and objectives: classic hodgkin lymphoma (chl), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl) and some cases of diffuse large b cell lymphoma (dlbcl) have overlapping morphologic features. since they all represent distinct clinico-pathologic entities, we explored the differential diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping to discriminate between them. materials and methods: we included 61 cases ...

Lymphoproliferative disease complicates the clinical course ofHIV infection in approximately 10% of patients and the incidence of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma is 60-200 times more common than the general population.3'4 Diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Burkitt's Lymphoma, Burkitt like Lymphoma and Primary Cerebral Lymphoma are the most common subtypes with Hodgkins Disease, Plasmacytoma and Body Cavity B...

BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies, originating in the lymphatic organs, whose incidence is increasing in developed as well as developing countries. Epidemiological evidence suggests that aspirin may reduce the incidence and mortality of several cancers. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between using aspirin...

Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) or serine protease inhibitor A1 (SERPINA1) is an important serine protease inhibitor in humans. The main physiological role of AAT is to inhibit neutrophil elastase (NE) released from triggered neutrophils, with an additional lesser role in the defense against damage inflicted by other serine proteases, such as cathepsin G and proteinase 3. Although there is a reported...
