The lymphatics in kidney health and disease [PDF]

Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2021
The mammalian vascular system consists of two networks: the blood vascular system and the lymphatic vascular system. Throughout the body, the lymphatic system contributes to homeostatic mechanisms by draining extravasated interstitial fluid and facilitating the trafficking and activation of immune cells. In the kidney, lymphatic vessels exist mainly in

Developing eradication investment cases for onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, and human African trypanosomiasis : rationale and main challenges [PDF]

, 2013
An EIC is essentially an economic composite assessment in the broader meaning of economics, addressing thus all three fundamental economics questions. An EIC in fact answers: 1) the ‘‘What’’ question, that compares remaining in control mode versus moving

The roadmap towards elimination of lymphatic filariasis by 2030: insights from quantitative and mathematical modelling [PDF]

, 2019
The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis was launched in 2000 to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) as a public health problem by 1) interrupting transmission through mass drug administration (MDA) and 2) offering basic care to those ...

How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector? [PDF]

, 2014
The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are transmitted by the same vector.

Stenting for obstructive iliac vein lesions

Veins and Lymphatics, 2017
Endovenous stenting has supplanted open surgery as the treatment of choice for iliocaval obstruction. This review provides a brief overview of such obstructive pathology and an in-depth assessment of femoroilio- caval stenting.

Lymphatic Connexins and Pannexins in Health and Disease [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
This review highlights current knowledge on the expression and function of connexins and pannexins, transmembrane channel proteins that play an important role in intercellular communication, in both the developing and mature lymphatic vasculature. A particular focus is given to the involvement of these proteins in functions of the healthy lymphatic ...

What is needed to eradicate lymphatic filariasis? : A model-based assessment on the impact of scaling up mass drug administration programs [PDF]

, 2015
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease for which more than a billion people in 73 countries are thought to be at-risk. At a global level, the efforts against LF are designed as an elimination program. However, current efforts appear to

Modelling the health impact and cost-effectiveness of lymphatic filariasis eradication under varying levels of mass drug administration scale-up and geographic coverage [PDF]

, 2016
Background: A global programme to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (GPELF) is underway, yet two key programmatic features are currently still lacking: (1) the extension of efforts to all lymphatic filariasis (LF) endemic countries, and (2) the expansion of

Lymphatic Filariasis Control in Tanzania: Effect of Six Rounds of Mass Drug Administration with Ivermectin and Albendazole on Infection and Transmission. [PDF]

, 2013
Control of lymphatic filariasis (LF) in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa is based on annual mass drug administration (MDA) with a combination of ivermectin and albendazole, in order to interrupt transmission. We present findings from a detailed study
