The diagnostic value of adenosine deaminase activity in the ascitic fluid of patients with tuberculous peritonitis
… 1. Examine the diagnostic value of ADA levels in ascitic fluid, 2. Establish the sensitivity and specificity of this test in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis, in a large number of patients, 3. Establish levels of adenosine deaminase activity which give the best discriminatory information …

Oncogenic Signaling Pathways Activated by Lysophosphatidic Acid (LPA) in Ovarian Carcinoma
… (LPA) has emerged as a biomarker present in the ascitic fluid and serum of ovarian cancer patients. Subsequent studies have identified LPA as an agonist for G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). LPA has been well characterized as a pro-migratory factor in ovarian cancer and other cell systems. …

ELUCIDATING THE IMPACT OF ASCITES ON HIGH GRADE SEROUS OVARIAN CANCER THROUGH MULTIPLE IN VITRO PATIENT-SPECIFIC MODELS
… (TME). The TME, and particularly ascitic fluid (AF), plays a critical role in OC progression by influencing tumor and stromal cell behavior, promoting metastasis and driving therapy resistance. Current in vitro models often fail to replicate the complexity of the TME, being limited …

RESOLVING TUMOR HETEROGENEITY THROUGH HIGH RESOLUTION MULTI-MODAL TRANSCRIPTOMICS: INTEGRATIVE SINGLE-CELL ATLASES AND GENERATIVE SPATIAL MODELING
… 3D cultures grown in the presence or absence of ascitic fluid (AF). AF supplementation enhanced proliferation, preserved minor tumor populations, and reshaped the composition of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The transcriptomic landscape of these models was further integrated into the OvCA …

Abdominal Tuberculosis is common and under-diagnosed in HIV positive Adults in Zambia
… the study subjects and positive culture of the ascitic fluid was low (13.6%). Many subjects with abdominal tuberculosis had low CD4 count (mean= 92 cell/ul). 20 subjects (HIV positive) who died of suspected pulmonary or abdominal tuberculosis had autopsy done on them. Disseminated tuberculosis …
