The Thoracic Lymphatic Vasculature: Interorgan Strategies to Achieve an Optimal Tissue Function

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
In the thorax, organ‐specific features such as stomata and submesothelial lacunae, pulmonary perivascular and peribronchial vessels, and subepicardial lymphatic network allow the thoracic lymphatics to perform as a dynamically regulated system able to exploit local mechanical forces and tissue‐specific architecture to maintain fluid and solute ...

Petrology and Geochemistry of Ophiolitic Pyroxenite in the Eastern Desert of Egypt: Genesis of Ultramafic Cumulates and Implications for Neoproterozoic Supra‐Subduction Seafloor Metamorphism

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract We describe and compare two outcrops of pyroxenite associated with Neoproterozoic ophiolite sequences in the Eastern Desert of Egypt: small masses in the Abu Samuki area of the North Eastern Desert and large belts in the Wadi El‐Mireiwa area of the South Eastern Desert.

Asbestos Burden in Lungs of Subjects Deceased From Mesothelioma Who Lived in Proximity to an Asbestos Factory: A Topographic Post‐Mortem SEM‐EDS Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 112-121, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Asbestos exposure and its pathological consequences, especially malignant mesothelioma (MM) still represent a major public health problem on a global scale. After the ban of asbestos in most western countries, nonoccupational exposure plays an essential role in MM pathogenesis.

Occupational and Hobby Exposures Associated With Myositis Phenotypes in a National Myositis Patient Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 104-115, January 2025.
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate occupational and hobby exposures to silica, solvents, and heavy metals and the odds of having the idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) phenotypes dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) versus inclusion body myositis (IBM), lung disease plus fever or arthritis (LD+), and systemic autoimmune ...
