Kawasaki disease was first reported in 1967 by Japanese pediatrician Tomisaku Kawasaki as an acute febrile syndrome mainly affecting the skin, mucosa, and lymph nodes.1 Although initially recognized as benign, this syndrome was subsequently acknowledged to have a serious complication of coronary artery aneurysm,2 and it has gained the worldwide interest of pediatricians and pediatric cardiologi...

background: sentinel node biopsy (slnb) is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment and it is getting wide acceptance in iran. the radiation safety of the procedure has been investigated under controlled conditions, but the standard dose of radiotracer and techniques are not always observed in the community setting. the aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the absorbed doses...

endometrial adenocarcinoma is uncommon in fewer than 40-year-old people. the first common sign and symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge. metastasis is occurred in the late stage. here we present a 31-year-old nullipar woman who was admitted to surgical ward with enlarged right inguinal lymphnode from one month ago. she had no history of previous malignancy, infectious condition,...

in this study 121 prescapular, prefemoral and popliteal lymph node of male healthy camel from mashhad abattoir were collected. after collecting of specimens factors such as: length, width, thickness, weight, volume and density of each lymph node were measured by caliper device. all factors were analyzed and compared using excel program. it was revealed that, normal dimensions of right prescapul...

BACKGROUND The distribution of a syndrome in space and time may suggest clues to its etiology. The cause of Kawasaki syndrome, a systemic vasculitis of infants and children, is unknown, but an infectious etiology is suspected. METHODS Seasonality and clustering of Kawasaki syndrome cases were studied in Japanese children with Kawasaki syndrome reported in nationwide surveys in Japan. Excludin...

Herein, we report a case of sentinel lymph node mapping in a uterine cervix cancer patient, referring to the nuclear medicine department of our institute. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed inappropriate intra‐cervical injection of radiotracer. Blue dye technique was applied for sentinel lymph node mapping, using intra‐cervical injection of methylene blue. Two blue/cold sentinel lymph nodes, with...

Defense against infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is mediated by CD4 T cells. CCR2(+) inflammatory monocytes (IMs) have been implicated in Mtb-specific CD4 T cell responses but their in vivo contribution remains unresolved. Herein, we show that transient ablation of IMs during infection prevents Mtb delivery to pulmonary lymph nodes, reducing CD4 T cell responses. Transfer of MHC cl...
