This is quite unlike curve-fitting exercises, where the mathematics may mimic the response only because multiple, but physiologically unidentified, terms have been used.
HRCT findings reflect the pattern of pulmonary toxicity but sometimes reveal multiple pulmonary nodules, which may mimic metastatic disease but have the histologic characteristics of COP.
On the other hand, splenic lymphoma may also appear as multiple nodular lesions, and therefore may mimic splenic infection [16].
The priority in terms of experimental work must now be to test these emerging candidates in disease control populations, rather than alongside healthy control subjects, ideally those that mimic lower motor neuron-predominant forms of ALS such as multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block, or that may mimic primary lateral sclerosis, such as primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
Our case emphasizes that, although uncommon, tuberculosis can involve multiple organs without pulmonary involvement and may mimic systemic vasculitis, it is not mandatory to have pulmonary findings for a confirmation of tuberculosis.
A few studies also suggest that different phytoestrogens may affect behavior through multiple pathways; for example, β-sitosterol may mimic cholesterol in addition to estrogen [ 50, 51].
Moreover, some multiple, pedunculated leiomyomas arising from the uterus may mimic LPD implants.
Therefore our results may mimic the real world effects of liraglutide rather than a multiple intervention scenario consisting of optimising insulin doses and educating patients on titrating meal time insulin doses while initiating liraglutide.
Drug combinations that target Mcl-1 and Bcl-2/Bcl-xl may mimic the actions of more physiological regulators of apoptosis (Dai and Grant, 2007), and selective targeting of multiple apoptotic pathways may overcome functional redundancy and force cells into apoptosis.
Small haemangioma may mimic hypervascular metastasis.
