Background: Hypereosinophilic syndrome is commonly found in various diseases such as allergic diseases, parasitic diseases, malignancies, etc. Fasciolosis may present with different clinical features, and it can make a difficult diagnosis of the disease. Laboratory manifestations of fascioliasis are eosinophilia. The purpose of this report was to introduce a child with hypereosinophilia that he...

Wide tissue septa and dilated lymphatics can be seen in histological sections from the lungs of infants dying from hyaline membrane disease (Wade-Evans, 1962; Balis, Delivoria, and Conen, 1966). These might be produced either by the excessive transfer of liquid from the plasma to the lung interstices, or by the defective clearance of the liquid which normally fills the potential airspaces of th...

we report a case of a 68-year-old female who was a known case of diabetes mellitus and chronic liver disease and presented with complaints of dry cough and other constitutional symptoms since one month. during initial investigations, the patient was found to have peripheral blood eosinophilia. upon investigating further,the patient was found to have mediastinal lymphadenopathy and fine-needle a...

Objective: GLP-1R (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor) agonists are increasingly used for the treatment of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, with additional body weight reducing effects. Long-term administration has demonstrated cardioprotective effects, but mechanism cardiovascular protection is not currently known. Several studies humans and animal models have shown suppression intestinal CM (c...

schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors that originate from any anatomical site. most of the schwannomas are found in the head, neck or limbs. schwannoma arising in a lymph node is extremely rare. we have found only four cases in the review of the literature. we experienced a case of intranodal schwannoma in a perigastric lymph node. a 72 year-old female underwent cholecystectomy due to clin...

A. This guideline is written specifically for lymphoscintigraphy in patients with primary melanomas that originate in the skin. Staging of these tumors is based on tumor thickness (Breslow measurement) and level of skin invasion (Clark’s level), both of which are determined by the pathologist from a biopsy sample. Ample data correlate patient survival with Breslow and Clark measurements. In the...

1. The experimental observations have been summarized at the end of an earlier section. The more important facts only will be recapitulated here. The capacity of the lymphatics for removing fluid from the tissues greatly exceeds the rate at which freshly formed tissue fluid can be made available for removal. Edematous regions can be rendered non-edematous by the application of measures, such as...

In this issue of Clinical Science, Stanton et al. [1] describe experiments that provide new insights into the pathophysiology of breast-cancer-related-lymphoedema (BRCL), a condition affecting a quarter of patients successfully treated for breast cancer by mastectomy, associated lymph node removal, and}or subsequent radiotherapy. BRCL has long been considered a result of reduced lymph flow thro...

Enlarged peripheral lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy or lymphadenomegaly) can occur with lymphoid and plasma cell hyperplasia, inflammation, or lymphoid or metastatic neoplasia. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of enlarged lymph nodes is relatively non-invasive and inexpensive, and with experience, often provides an accurate diagnosis. However, in some cases, special stains, biopsy, immunophen...
