The lymphatic vascular system in liver diseases: its role in ascites formation [PDF]
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2013 The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and plays a key role in normal vascular function. Its failure plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of various diseases including liver diseases.

Lymphatic vessels in health and disease [PDF]
WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2012 AbstractThe lymphatic vasculature plays vital roles in tissue fluid balance, immune defense, metabolism, and cancer metastasis. In adults, lymphatic vessel formation and remodeling occur primarily during inflammation, development of the corpus luteum, wound healing, and tumor growth.

Development of the Lymphatic System in the 4D XCAT Phantom [PDF]
, 2021 Purpose: The XCAT phantom allows for highly sophisticated multimodality imaging research. It includes a complete set of organs, muscle, bone, soft tissue, while also accounting for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), which allows phantom studies to be performed at a population scale.

A unique complication of double barrel Wallstent technique in iliac-caval stenting
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2021 The “double barrel” technique has been a popular option in reconstituting the iliac-caval confluence in bilateral stenting. It has been mostly used with the Wallstent (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Mass). The technique, although generally trouble-free,

Management of iatrogenic inferior vena cava perforation with composite Wallstent–Z-stent technique
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2021 Inferior vena cava rupture is uncommon but can occur as a result of trauma or catheterization and during venous interventions. We have described two cases of iatrogenic inferior vena cava perforation, with their successful management with bare metal ...

Role of laser ablation in recalcitrant instent restenosis post iliofemoral venous stenting
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2021 Instent restenosis (ISR) represents the most common reason for recurrent symptoms requiring reintervention in patients who have undergone venous stenting for chronic iliofemoral venous obstruction.

Modelling the Lymphatic Metastatic Progression Pathways of OPSCC from Multi-Institutional Datasets [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The elective clinical target volume (CTV-N) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is currently based mostly on the prevalence of lymph node metastases in different lymph node levels (LNLs) for a given primary tumor location. We present a probabilistic model for ipsilateral lymphatic spread that can quantify the microscopic nodal involvement ...

A thermodynamical perspective of immune capabilities [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 287 (2011) 48-63, 2011 We consider the mutual interactions, via cytokine exchanges, among helper lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and killer lymphocytes, and we model them as a unique system by means of a tripartite network. Each part includes all the different clones of the same lymphatic subpopulation, whose couplings to the others are either excitatory or inhibitory (mirroring ...

Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations, 2021 We describe our experience with the Indigo CATTM aspiration mechanical thrombectomy (AMT) system in 20 patients. A modification of the AMT technique was done in 7 patients (35%) whereby a snare was used instead of a separator.
