Management of symptomatic lymphoceles typically involves sclerotherapy and lymphangiography with embolization. When many afferent lymphatic channels are supplying a large-volume lymphocele, sclerotherapy is associated with high recurrence rate. This case presents a patient who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and developed a high-volume lymphocele that was compressing the ipsilateral ureter, causing hydronephrosis.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research is focusing on cultural factors that might influence the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), particularly in states where honor culture is prevalent.
- Studies indicate that these honor-oriented states exhibit traits like rural living and economic instability, which may be associated with higher risks of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cognitive decline.
- The findings reveal that states with stronger honor orientations have significantly higher rates of unintentional TBI deaths, subjective cognitive decline, and ADRD deaths, emphasizing the need for targeted educational and intervention strategies in these areas.
Purpose: Experimental sleep disruption in healthy adults is more deleterious to immune function in females relative to males; however, it remains unknown if this translates to patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Thus, this study explored sex differences in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with untreated OSA.
Methods: Participants completed sleep studies to identify the presence of OSA via the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
Sports are characterized by unique rules, environments, and tasks, but also share fundamental similarities with each other sport. Such between-sports parallels can be vital for optimizing talent transfer processes. This study aimed to explore similarities between sports to provide an objective basis for clustering sports into families by means of machine learning.
