Positive acute-phase proteins serve (as part of the innate immune system) different physiological functions within the immune system.Some act to destroy or inhibit growth of microbes, e.g., C-reactive protein, mannose-binding protein, [3] complement factors, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, serum amyloid A and haptoglobin.
In mathematics, a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term. Two definitions of a monomial may be encountered: A monomial, also called a power product or primitive monomial, [1] is a product of powers of variables with nonnegative integer exponents, or, in other words, a product of variables, possibly with repetitions.

Skin and skin structure infections (SSSIs), also referred to as skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), [1] or acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs), [2] are infections of skin and associated soft tissues (such as loose connective tissue and mucous membranes).
The monomials in are those monomials such that there exists such and . [2] If a monomial is represented by the point (,) in the plane, the figure formed by the monomials in is often called the staircase of , because of its shape. In this figure, the minimal generators form the inner corners of a Young diagram.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia is characterized by a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene on chromosome 17. [3] In 95% of cases of APL, the RARA gene on chromosome 17 is involved in a reciprocal translocation with the promyelocytic leukemia gene (PML) on chromosome 15, a translocation denoted as t(15;17)(q22;q21).

Acute erythroid leukemia is rare, accounting for only 3–5% of all acute myeloid leukemia cases. [2] One study estimated an occurrence rate of 0.077 cases per 100,000 people each year. [ 12 ] 64–70% of people with this condition are male, and most are elderly, with a median age of 65.
[9] [10] In general, acute HP is suspected to be attributed to a type III hypersensitivity while the subacute and chronic types are suspected to be caused by T cell infiltration and granuloma formation. [11] Because different people react variably to antigen exposure, the exact mechanism is unclear but genetic and host factors are likely at ...
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy typically appears in infancy or early childhood, although some people do not develop the condition until adolescence or adulthood. People with this condition usually show typical symptoms of an infection, such as fever, cough, congestion, vomiting, and diarrhea, for a few days.
