If clinical examination has an essential importance in lymphology disorders and requires experimented practitioners, lymphoscintigraphy and more recently green indocyanine lympho-fluoroscopy constitute precious complementary investigations in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lymphatic vascular pathologies. The lymphoscintigraphy interest lies in qualitative and quantitative analysis of macromolecules migration within lymphatic vessels and the deep lymphatic network. The lympho-fluoroscopy distinguishes itself from lymphoscintigraphy allowing real time superficial lymphatic vessels detailed mapping, gathering important information on their contractility, and the presence of compensatory derivations to be favored during manual lymphatic drainage to angiologist and physiotherapist.

Background: Iron is one of the most important elements in brain that may has a direct impact on the stability of central nervous system. The current study devoted to explore the alterations of iron distribution across the whole brain in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: The quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) technique was used to quantify the intracranial iron content of 74 T2DM patients with MCI and 86 T2DM patients with normal cognition (NC).

Skeletal muscle index (SMI), as an effective indicator of nutritional status, plays an important role in the prognosis of malignancy. However, the impact of skeletal muscle changes on tumor prognosis has not been systematically elaborated. We aimed to explore the value of skeletal muscle changes in the prognosis of distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) patients undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
