York cell or yolk cell tumor?
Subject: York cell or yolk cell tumor?
The dictator is spelling it but he is oriental and does the R for L substitution!
Testicular cancer. Yolk or York? I did a google search and York University has a lot of research papers on such subjects. Otherwise, nada.
I know there are yolk sac tumors but that's a different type.

Lysozyme, an hydrolytic enzyme - a bacteriolytic glycosidase, when present in large amounts may appear as a far cathodal migrating ("cationic") band on serum or urine protein electrophoresis. Lysozyme has been found in all three human neutrophil granules (azurophil, specific, and gelatinase types).3 It is elevated in some cases of myelogenous, and most cases of myelomonocytic and monocytic leukemia. The elevation is proportional to the degree of monocytic differentiation and to tumor cell burden and if marked, can result in potassium wasting and hypokalemia.4 Lysozyme has been found within the granules of normal and leukemic eosinophils by immunoelectron microscopic study. Elevated serum lysozyme may not establish presence of monocytic differentiation in cases of acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia. 5 The level of serum lysozyme has been used as a predictor of CNS involvement in these leukemias.6 Serum lysozyme has been shown to be elevated in a number of conditions, including tuberculosis and sarcoidosis as well as leukemia.1 Sensitivity for prediction of sarcoidosis was 79% in a recent study (c.f. that of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) at 59% in the same study). 1 The serum lysozyme level increased with the number of organs involved. Serum lysozyme, however, is less specific for sarcoidosis than serum ACE. Utilizing a turbidimetric method for measurement of serum lysozyme activity, there was evidence that such an assay was useful in differentiating infection from rejection in transplant recipients. 7

type "rheumatoid arthritis" or arthritis in the search box and it will pull up the tests they use for these diseases. Great tool. You can then click on the tests and it will give you alternate names etc. Good luck. E mail me if you need any more refs and I will try to give you a good list etc.

I love it when we can "out wit" them. Of course a lot of these guys, not only ESLs, make up the stuff. The first thing they taught was about the prefixes etc in the old transcription classes. I had been typing for about 2 years when they offered the class at a junior college where my husband was attending, he got me the book, which I still have, and I almost keeled over at all the different combos etc.
