Swine influenza virus was found to be regularly present in the turbinates, tracheal exudate and lungs of infected swine but not in the spleens, livers, kidneys, mesenteric lymph nodes, colon mucosae, brains or blood. It was present in low concentration in the bronchial lymph nodes of 2 out of 8 animals. This localization of the virus in swine accords with its classification as a pneumotropic vi...

Results: Primary intestinal tuberculosis was rare at autopsy (only 2/20 cases). Majority of cases were secondary to pulmonary involvement (17/20 cases). Ulcerative type (77.5%) was the commonest morphologic type with predominant involvement of ileum. Appendix (5%) and Stomach (2.5%) were rarely involved. At autopsy, mesenteric lymphadenopathy (80%) was noted to be the commonest, followed by tra...

wide array of manifestations. Although the involvement of liver, spleen, bowel, and mesenteric lymph nodes is commonly seen in miliary tuberculosis, tuberculosis affecting only the peripancreatic lymph nodes is a rare clinical entity (1). Correct diagnosis is crucial in establishing adequate management and treatment. Its occurrence may pose a diagnostic challenge due to its similarity with a pa...

The functional relationships between lymphoid cells and the adipose tissue that surrounds lymph nodes were investigated in healthy adult guinea pigs. Lymphoid cells extracted from healthy adult guinea pigs were co-cultured for 48 h with adipose tissue explants from 18 sites defined by their anatomical relations to lymph nodes. Such explants from near a node suppressed lymphocyte proliferation s...

breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. the most important prognostic factor in this cancer is the stage of the tumor. detection of lymph nodes with or without malignancy is essential for determining the stage of the tumor and setting a therapeutic plan. there are different methods for isolating lymph nodes in surgical specimens of breast cancer in the pathology depar...

background in the diagnosis of malignant lymph nodes (lns) and staging of lung cancer, sampling of mediastinal and hilar lns is essential. mediastinoscopy is known as the gold standard. convex probe (cp) endobronchial ultrasound (ebus)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (tbna) is a noninvasive and highly sensitive diagnostic method in mediastinal and hilar ln sampling. objectives evaluatin...

lymph node dissection is of prime importance for accurate staging of colorectal carcinomas. since a great number of small lymph nodes are missed in the traditional method, several fat clearing solutions have been introduced for easier detection of smaller lymph nodes. in this study we evaluated the efficacy of a new fat clearing solution so-called lymph node revealing solution (lnrs) in colecto...

Lymph node status is a critical prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic head cancer [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Peripancreatic nodes are the first to be involved. The paraaortic lymph nodes are involved later, via the lymphatics network surrounding the posterior pancreatoduodenal, superior mesenteric and common hepatic arteries [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Para-aortic lymph node involvement is considered M1 in...
