Abstract:
Fourty-one patients, referred to the Department of Radiology, Chiba University Hospital from 1975 through July, 1987, have been analyzed to determine their prognostic factors. These patients showed a less favorable prognosis (2 and 5 year actuarial survival, 30% and 19% respectively) compared with the younger patients. The histological grade by WF and their clinical stage reflected the prognosis well. Although the achievement of complete remission seemed to affect prognosis favorably, aggressive regimens with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy often caused their deaths. In senile patients with NHL, it is a prerequisite to consider the effects on the patient of curative therapy more carefully, especially when Adriamycin is used.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
