Innervation of the rat thymus gland
Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 1991Current views from different laboratories on the innervation of the thymus gland are reviewed with particular reference to the rat. Noradrenergic nerve profiles of the sympathetic nervous system have been demonstrated in the subcapsular cortex, at the corticomedullary junction and in the cortex itself, and extremely sparsely in the medulla.

Papillary Carcinoma of the Thymus Gland
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005In 1999, the World Health Organization introduced a new classification of a rare thymic cancer called papillary adenocarcinoma of the thymus gland. In this study we report on a case of papillary thymic carcinoma in a 29-year-old woman. Histologically, the tumor consisted of a papillary component admixed with a solid component, a component that is ...

Neoplasms after childhood irradiation of the thymus gland.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 1971The oncogenic effects of childhood irradiation of the thymus gland were investigated by following up 466 irradiated subjects, 506 unirradiated subjects with similar illnesses, and the siblings of both series.

Thyroid cancer among persons given X-ray treatment in infancy for an enlarged thymus gland.
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1993A cohort of 2,657 infants in Rochester, New York, who were given x-ray treatment for a purported enlarged thymus gland, along with 4,833 siblings, have been followed by mail surveys through about 1986, which represents an average of 37 years of follow-up,

Radiology, 1999
The history of the thymus gland dates back more than 2,000 years. From this earliest time, the role of the thymus was a mystery. Fictitious disorders attributed to the thymus included thymic asthma and status thymicolymphaticus in the late 1800s.

Age-related changes in the thymus gland: CT-pathologic correlation.
AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 1983Recent reports suggest that computed tomography (CT) is useful for thymoma detection in patients with myasthenia gravis. However, that usefulness may be conditioned by the state of the normal thymus.

Malnutrition and the Thymus Gland
2020This chapter describes the effects of malnutrition on the thymus gland, T lymphocytes, and cell-mediated immunity in humans. The size of the thymus gland relative to body weight is greatest at birth, and although total thymus mass increases slightly during the first year of life, its size stabilizes even as the progressive process of physiological ...

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
To the Editor:— I was impressed while reading the editorial "Mediastinal Granuloma" (J. A. M. A.155:1160 [July 24] 1954) with the similarity of these lesions to some I have seen in guinea pigs where the lesion is obviously thymic in origin. I was further stimulated to recall Dr.

Physiology and Immunology of the Thymus Gland
2008The thymus is a gland located in the upper anterior portion of the chest cavity just behind the sternum. Under the evolutionary pressure exerted by the emergence of adaptive immunity and its inherent risk to form receptors that recognize self molecules, this gland appeared about 500 million years ago as a novel structure that had the role of ...
