Quantification of Lymphangiogenesis in the Murine Lymphedema Tail Model Using Intravital Microscopy.

Lymphedema is chronic limb swelling resulting from lymphatic dysfunction. It affects an estimated five million Americans. There is no cure for this disease.

Topical tissue nanotransfection of is effective in the prophylactic management of lymphedema.

Lymphedema is chronic limb swelling resulting from lymphatic dysfunction. There is no cure for the disease. Clinically, a preventive surgical approach called immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) has gained traction.

Biofilm-derived oxylipin 10-HOME-mediated immune response in women with breast implants.

This study investigates a mechanistic link of bacterial biofilm-mediated host-pathogen interaction leading to immunological complications associated with breast implant illness (BII). Over 10 million women worldwide have breast implants. In recent years, women have described a constellation of immunological symptoms believed to be related to their breast implants.

A Murine Tail Lymphedema Model.

Lymphedema is extremity swelling caused by lymphatic dysfunction. The affected limb enlarges because of accumulation of fluid, adipose, and fibrosis. There is no cure for this disease.

Compact DD generator-based in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) system to determine sodium concentrations in human bone.

Objective: This study presents the development of a noninvasive method for monitoring Na in human bone. Many diseases, such as hypertension and osteoporosis, are closely associated with sodium (Na) retention in the human body. Na retention is generally evaluated by calculating the difference between dietary intake and excretion.
