Outliers were removed and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons of the two groups. Results : MAIT cells exhibited markedly increased GM-CSF (p=0.012) and IFN纬 production (p=0.041) in sarcoid uveitis patients. For conventional lymphocytes, we observed a significantly increased ...
The five most common preoperative diagn oses were included: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, n = 84), cystic fibrosis (CF, n = 50), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, n = 47), and others, which included UIP, sarcoid, alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency and LAM ( n = 14). ...
