Background Progastricsin/Pepsinogen C (PGC) is an aspartyl endoprotease predominantly expressed by gastric fundic and chief cells, with additional expression reported in select extragastric tissues. While increased PGC expression has been described in several malignancies, progressive downregulation of PGC has been observed along the spectrum of gastric inflammation to carcinoma. However, data on PGC expression in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) from South Asian populations remain limited.

Overview Keratoconjunctivitis is a contagious eye infection that causes inflammation on the surface of the eye. The term combines two conditions: keratitis and conjunctivitis.1 Keratitis is the inflammation of the cornea, which is the clear, curved layer at the front of the eye that covers the iris and pupil.2 Conjunctivitis refers to  irritation of the conjunctiva, which is the transparent membrane that covers the sclera (the white part of the eye).
