Entrainment of Lymphatic Contraction to Oscillatory Flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Lymphedema, a disfiguring condition characterized by the asymmetrical swelling of the limbs, is suspected to be caused by dysfunctions in the lymphatic system. Lymphangions, the spontaneously contracting units of the lymphatic system, are sensitive to luminal wall shear stress. In this study, the response of the lymphangions to dynamically varying wall

Cardiac Tamponade Secondary to Metastasis from Adenocarcinoma of the Parotid Gland [PDF]
, 2003 BACKGROUND: Metastatic involvement of pericardium producing cardiac tamponade is rare. When occurs it is mainly from the lung, breast and the neoplasms of the lymphoreticular system.

Sentinel Node and Mechanism of Lymphatic Metastasis
Annals of Vascular Diseases, 2012 The validity and clinical usefulness of the sentinel node (SN) concept for breast cancer has been confirmed, and individualized limited surgery based on diagnosis of SN metastasis is presently performed. In the future, SN navigation surgery (SNNS) will be actively applied to the treatment of early gastric cancer, and an intraoperative real-time reverse

A one-dimensional mathematical model of collecting lymphatics coupled with an electro-fluid-mechanical contraction model and valve dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We propose a one-dimensional model for collecting lymphatics coupled with a novel Electro-Fluid-Mechanical Contraction (EFMC) model for dynamical contractions, based on a modified FitzHugh-Nagumo model for action potentials. The one-dimensional model for a compliant lymphatic vessel is a set of hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The EFMC

Matriptase regulates c-Met mediated proliferation and invasion in inflammatory breast cancer. [PDF]
, 2016 The poor prognosis for patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) compared to patients with other types of breast cancers emphasizes the need to better understand the molecular underpinnings of this disease with the goal of developing effective ...

Breast cancer metastasis and the lymphatic system
Oncology Letters, 2015 Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, despite a significant decline in death rates due to early detection. The majority of cancer mortalities are due to the metastasis of tumor cells to other organs. Metastasis or tumor cell dissemination occurs via the hematogenous and lymphatic systems.

A Mathematical Model for Lymphangiogenesis in Normal and Diabetic Wounds [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Several studies suggest that one possible cause of impaired wound healing is failed or insufficient lymphangiogenesis, that is the formation of new lymphatic capillaries. Although many mathematical models have been developed to describe the formation of blood capillaries (angiogenesis) very few have been proposed for the regeneration of the lymphatic ...

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal metastases : an expert opinion
, 2020 Introduction: The rationale for intraperitoneal (IP) drug delivery for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) is based on the pharmacokinetic advantage resulting from the peritoneal-plasma barrier, and on the potential to adequately treat small, poorly

Molecular Oncology, 2020 Lymph node metastasis (LNM), a critical prognostic determinant in cancer patients, is critically influenced by the presence of numerous heterogeneous cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the tumor microenvironment.

Scientific Reports, 2018 Lymphatic metastasis is known to contribute to worse prognosis of biliary tract cancer (BTC). Recently, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid mediator generated by sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), has been shown to play an important role in ...
