Index

A book containing references, alphabetically arranged, to the contents of a series or collection of documents or volumes; or a section (normally at the end) of a single volume or set of volumes containing such references to its contents.

Statistical indexes are also used to track or measure changes in the economy (for example, the Consumer Price Index) and movement in stock markets (for example, Standard & Poor's Index). Such indexes are usually keyed to a base year, month, or other period of comparison.

In mortgage financing, the term is used to determine adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) interest rates after the discount period ends. Common indexes for ARMs are one-year Treasury Securities and the national average cost of funds to savings and loan associations.

Regarding the proliferative index of lymphocytes, our results demonstrated that participation in very intense exercise protocols, an Olympic triathlon (swimming for 1.5 km, cycling for 40 km, and running for 10 km) [49, 50] or a simulated cycling competition (6 sets of 20 minutes at 90% of the individual's anaerobic threshold) [51] reduced the proliferative indices of T and B lymphocytes and plasma glutamine levels.

Ki67 was positive, showing high proliferative index. A series of eight cases of primary ovarian NHL reported three of them to be diffuse large B-cell lymphoma positive for CD20 and BCL-6.2 The use of chemotherapy is based on the principle that ovarian lymphoma must be considered a localised manifestation of the systemic disease.

Results from the other worker (T2) showed significant lymphocyte reactivity (3H-Thymidin counts >700 counts per minute, which corresponds to a proliferative index of 6, p>0.01), but a low IgG titer (Figure 2), which reflects reciprocal T- and B-cell responses.
