Lymphatics and blood vessels

Clinics in Dermatology, 2011
The traditional nomenclature of vascular lesions has been enlarged and modified with the usage of newer diagnostic techniques. Digital technology has enhanced the precision of older analog tools such as Doppler flow studies. Angiograms have also more precisely delineated flow patterns to allow planned surgical intervention as an important therapeutic ...

Blood Vessels and Lymphatic Vessels

2019
Development of the vascular and lymphatic trees is essential for the formation of nearly every organ during embryonic and fetal life. In the fetus, there are some unique features of the vascular tree that facilitate the fetoplacental circulation in utero, such as the umbilical vein, umbilical arteries, ductus venosus, and ductus arteriosus.

Lymphatic Vessel Hydrodissection During Varicocelectomy

Urology, 2007
We report a new technique of preserving the lymphatics during varicocelectomy using saline infusion that we have termed "lymphatic hydrodissection."

Lymphatic Vessel Activation in Cancer

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2002
Abstract: Metastasis of most cancers occurs primarily through the lymphatic system, and the extent of lymph node involvement is the most important prognostic indicator. While the importance of the lymphatic system as a pathway for metastasis has been well recognized, there is very little information available about the mechanisms by which tumor cells ...

Lymphatic Vessel Activation in Cancer

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
Most cancerous lesions metastasize through the lymphatic system and the status of regional lymph nodes is the most important indicator of a patient's prognosis. The extent of lymph node involvement with cancer is also an important parameter used for determining treatment options.

Biomechanics of a Lymphatic Vessel

Journal of Vascular Research, 1975
The principles of mechanics and the current notions of lymphatic physiology are integrated into a simple mathematical model of a lymphatic vessel which establishes a theoretical base for lymph propulsion in the lymphatic system. The model specifically considers the active and passive contractilities of the lymphatics.

Mechanosensing in Developing Lymphatic Vessels

2013
The lymphatic vasculature is responsible for fluid homeostasis, transport of immune cells, inflammatory molecules, and dietary lipids. It is composed of a network of lymphatic capillaries that drain into collecting lymphatic vessels and ultimately bring fluid back to the blood circulation.

Growth Factors Regulating Lymphatic Vessels

2000
The lymphatic vessels penetrate tissues of the body as a dense network that controls the microcirculation by draining fluid from the interstitial spaces. This fluid, lymph, is filtered by lymph nodes and returns to the systemic circulation through the thoracic and lymphatic ducts and the lymphaticovenous anastomoses [1].

Lymphatic Vessel Transplantation

2015
Lymphatic vessel transplantation is a direct approach to the lymphatic vascular system performing a bypass procedure like in other fields of vascular surgery. In lymphedemas due to a localized compromised lymphatic outflow, e.g., after a tumor therapy major, lymphatic collectors in front and behind the interruption are connected using the patient’s own
