The objective of this study was to identify the peculiarities of lymphocyte migration in lymphoid nodules of the mucous membrane of the caecum and the trachea in autopsy material, obtained from 25 healthy individuals of various ages (from the newborns to the persons of 1st mature age). Also, the tendinous center of diaphragm was studied in 10 healthy rabbits. Using histological methods, the presence of two functionally different types of lymphatic capillaries in the wall of the caecum was demonstrated. The first group includes numerous lymphatic capillaries located around the base of the lymphoid nodules. A large number of lymphocytes in portions enter the lumen of the capillaries, in accordance with the intestinal wall contractions. The second group includes the rest of the lymphatic capillaries, draining the intestinal wall and the capillaries of the trachea, resorbing mainly the interstitial fluid. The migration of lymphocytes from the lymphoid nodules of the trachea was directed, mainly, towards the surrounding tissues. Using the lymphatic capillaries of the diaphragm as a model, it was demonstrated that during the migration of the cells through the endothelium, argyrophilic structures - the stigmata, were formed which disappeared after the passage of the cells.

: The tumour inflammatory microenvironment (TIME) reflects a selective activation of the central immune system (IS), particularly T-cells expansion, which leads to immune cells migrating to the target, such as lung cancer, via the bloodstream and lymphatic vessels. In this study, the aim is to investigate whether the distribution of peripheral blood cells varies based on the immune status of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. : This is a single-center retrospective study conducted in the Thoracic Surgery Unit of the University of Padua (Italy) between 1 January 2016 and 1 April 2024.

Background: Cranial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI) or Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM), movement felt on the scalp or the rest of the body, respectively, is a fundamental concept used by osteopaths in their practice for their diagnosis and treatment. However, the physiological basis of this phenomenon remains unclear. Sutherland, the founder of cranial osteopathy, proposed in 1939 that PRM was due to the movement of the cranial bones pulled by the meninges, themselves pushed by the fluctuation of cerebrospinal fluid and the motility of the central nervous system.

Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) is a rare congenital lymphatic malformation (LM) characterized by multiple infiltrating lymphangiomas in various tissues. Owing to its rarity, information on this disease is obtained mainly through case reports, leading to delayed diagnosis. In this study, we reported a case of generalized lymphatic anomaly in a pediatric patient manifesting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion.

The synovium is a loose connective tissue that separates the intra-articular (IA) joint compartments of all diarthrodial joints from the systemic circulation. It can be divided into two layers: the intima, a thin and cell-dense layer atop a more heterogeneous subintima, composed of collagen and various cell types. The subintima contains penetrating capillaries and lymphatic vessels that rapidly clear injected drugs from the joint space which may vary not only with drug size and charge but also with the microstructure and composition of the intima and subintima of the synovium.

This is a novel case of idiopathic chylopericardium and chylothorax in a young male who had no significant medical history. He first presented with dyspnea due to idiopathic chylopericardium, which was refractory to medical and surgical treatments, including a medium-chain triglyceride diet, octreotide, and video-assisted pericardial window. The chylopericardium persisted and progressed to concomitant left-sided chylothorax.
