PVR (CD155) Expression as a Potential Prognostic Marker in Multiple Myeloma
Poliovirus receptor (PVR, CD155) is upregulated during tumor progression, and PVR expression is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients; however, prognostic implications for PVR in multiple myeloma (MM) have not been investigated.

Generating Anti-TIGIT and CD155 Monoclonal Antibodies for Tumor Immunotherapy
Many studies have confirmed that the human poliovirus receptor (PVR; CD155) is related to tumor cell migration, invasion, and thus tumor progression. A PVR receptor binds its ligand T cell Ig and the ITIM domain (TIGIT) to inhibit the function of T and ...

Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection: a validation study of blood cell ratio combinations
Aims: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be challenging as the symptoms are similar to other conditions, and the markers used for diagnosis have limited sensitivity and specificity.

Circadian patterns in postvoid residual and voided percentage among older women with urinary incontinence [PDF]
Background: Women with urinary incontinence incur an increased risk of elevated postvoid residual (PVR) volume and impaired voiding efficiency (i.e., voided percentage (Void%)), but the clinical significance of these parameters remains poorly described ...
