Objective: To evaluate outcomes and postoperative complications following surgical resection of lymphatic malformations (LMs) at a single multidisciplinary vascular anomalies center.

Methods: A single-center retrospective review of all patients ≤21 years old who underwent surgical resection of a lymphatic malformation at a quaternary referral center with a multidisciplinary vascular anomalies team from 2004 to 2024. Data pertaining to postoperative outcomes and treatments was abstracted.

The effects of variable spatial aggregation on lymphatic filariasis transmission.

Parasit Vectors

January 2025

National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, 62 Mills Road, Canberra, 2601, ACT, Australia.

Background: Elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a World Health Organization goal, with several countries at or near prevalence thresholds. Where LF cases remain after mass drug administration, they tend to be spatially clustered, with an overdispersed individual worm burden. Both individual and spatial heterogeneities can cause aggregation of infection; however, few studies have investigated the drivers of heterogeneity and implications for disease elimination.

Imaging and Clinical Features of Primary Thoracic Lymphangioma.

Curr Med Imaging

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Background: Primary thoracic lymphangioma is a rare disease. Most of the previous studies are comprised of individual case reports, with a very limited number of patients included.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the chest computed tomography (CT) imaging features and clinical manifestations of thoracic lymphangioma, thereby enhancing our understanding of the condition.

Objective: This study aims to enhance compliance with lower limb lymphedema (LLL) prevention care measures post-gynecologic oncology surgery (GOS) through quality control circle (QCC) activity, aiming to improve patient recovery outcomes and reduce postoperative complications.

Methods: A 6-month QCC activity was conducted within the hospital, employing the ten-step plan-do-check-act model for QCC activity. The root causes of inadequate implementation of LLL prevention care measures were analyzed, leading to the development of relevant strategies and protocols.

Impaired Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity Signaling in Yellow Nail Syndrome.

Ann Intern Med

December 2024

The Genetics Institute and Genomics Center, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and School of Medicine, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel (H.B.F.).

Article Synopsis
  • Yellow Nail Syndrome (YNS) is a rare condition marked by yellow, malformed nails, swelling due to lymphedema, and chronic lung issues, typically presenting in adulthood, with potential genetic links suggested.
  • Researchers conducted genetic sequencing and expression studies on 11 patients (6 with congenital YNS and 5 with sporadic YNS) to investigate its underlying causes.
  • Findings revealed biallelic variants in genes related to the Wnt/planar cell polarity pathway in congenital cases, indicating that defects in cellular organization could be key to understanding YNS's development, though the study's small sample size is a limitation.
