Thus, notwithstanding it is a misnomer, the term survives (e.g., rhesus blood group system and the obsolete terms rhesus factor, rhesus positive, and rhesus negative – all three of which actually refer specifically and only to the Rh D factor and are thus misleading when unmodified). Contemporary practice is to use "Rh" as a term of art ...
Anti-rheumatoid factor antibodies are also increased. [95] In addition, cross-reactive anti-beef-collagen antibodies (IgG) may explain some rheumatoid arthritis (RA) incidences. [ 96 ] Although the presence of anti-beef collagen antibodies does not necessarily lead to RA, the RA association with Triticeae consumption is secondary to GSE and ...
The increased risk is believed to be due to the random chance of developing any cancer, the likelihood of surviving the first cancer, the same risk factors that produced the first cancer, unwanted side effects of treating the first cancer (particularly radiation therapy), and better compliance with screening.

TCF19: transcription factor 19 (6p21.33) TCP11: t-complex 11 (6p21.31) TJAP1: tight junction associated protein 1 (6p21.1) TP53COR1 encoding protein Tumor protein p53 pathway corepressor 1 (non-protein coding) TMEM151B: encoding protein Transmembrane protein 151B; TNXB: tenascin XB (6p21.3) TRAM2: translocation associated membrane protein 2 ...
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-term inflammatory arthritis that occurs in people affected by the autoimmune disease psoriasis. [1] [2] The classic feature of psoriatic arthritis is swelling of entire fingers and toes with a sausage-like appearance ("sausage digit"). [3]
An autoimmune disease is a condition that results from an anomalous response of the adaptive immune system, wherein it mistakenly targets and attacks healthy, functioning parts of the body as if they were foreign organisms. [1]
ATF3 (i.e., cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-3) is a transcription factor that inhibits the NFKBIZ gene's expression of NF-kappa-B inhibitor zeta (i.e., IκBζ), a protein located in the cell nucleus that promotes the production of certain pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, [23] [46] interferon gamma, and granulocyte ...
On the other hand, IL-20 is known to prevent tissue damage as a result of chronic inflammation which may reduce the chance of developing cancer. So the role of IL-20 in cancer development is ambiguous and needs to be further explored. [13] IL-20 is an angiogenesis factor and is highly expressed in artery plaques found in patients with ...
