Background And Objective: Breast cancer therapy is a common cause of lymphedema, a chronic condition resulting from impaired fluid drainage through the lymphatic system. The accumulation of fluid in the affected limb leads to swelling, inflammation, and fibrosis, causing irreversible changes. While conservative therapy is the initial treatment for lymphedema, it may prove ineffective for advanced-stage cases that require surgical intervention.

The current mainstay of lymphedema therapy consists of conservative therapy and surgical therapy. In this systematic review, we investigated the novel role of biomaterials in clinical lymphedema therapy and assessed their objective outcomes and the complication rate associated with their use.

Repeated training generally results in individual performance increase and cognitive load decrease, as measured by both behavioral and neuroimaging methods. One of the known biomarkers for cognitive load is frontal theta band, measured by an EEG.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) in patients with lymphedema.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 70 patients suffering from primary or secondary lymphedema who underwent LVA surgery with indocyanine green fluorescence lymphangiography. Postoperative evaluation included qualitative and quantitative volumetric assessment and analysis.
