Lymphatic anatomy of the abdomen is reviewed with focus on hepatic and mesenteric vessels in normal and pathologic conditions. Anatomy and pathophysiology is highlight using both specialized fluoroscopy and T2 Dynamic Contrast MR lymphangiography (DCMRL). Plastic bronchitis, chylothorax, protein losing enteropathy, and both cirrhosis and ascites due to hepatic lymphatics are highlighted. Presented at the 2023 ISL International Congress of Lymphology, Genoa, Italy in a special symposium on central and regional lymphatic system in health and disease.

Early neutrophil activation and NETs release in the pristane-induced lupus mice model.
PLoS One
January 2025
Laboratório de Imunologia Celular (LIM-17), Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of NETosis in the initiation of lupus using a mouse model.
- Mice injected with pristane showed significantly more activated neutrophils and low-density granulocytes, as well as increased release of neutrophil extracellular traps compared to the control group.
- These findings suggest that early activation of neutrophils and NETosis may contribute to the development of lupus in this model.
Tertiary lymphoid structures in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma: anatomical site matters.
Cancer Immunol Immunother
January 2025
Division of Oncology, Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, and Lund University Cancer Center, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (pMets) of HGSC.

Introduction: Anorectal melanoma (ARM) is rare and highly lethal neoplasm. It has a poorer prognosis compared with cutaneous ones. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become the preferred method of nodal staging method for cutaneous melanoma.

Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Although glymphatic function is involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD), its potential for tracking the pathological and clinical progression of AD and its sequential association with core AD biomarkers is poorly understood.
Method: Whole-brain glymphatic activity was measured by diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) in participants with AD (n = 47), mild cognitive impairment (n = 137), and normal controls (n = 235) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
Result: Decreased ALPS-index was observed in AD dementia, prodromal AD, and preclinical AD patients.
Unusual presentation of esophageal tuberculosis: a case study.
BMC Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Cancer Treatment Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, 368 Yehai Road, Haikou, 570311, China.
Background: Esophageal ulcers can arise not only from malignant lesions but also from benign diseases, such as tuberculosis. These ulcers may mimic the radiological features of esophageal malignancy or tuberculosis on PET/CT, leading to diagnostic challenges.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a month-long history of progressive painful swallowing, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
