the Trocar :: Online Videojournal of Gynecologic and surgical endoscopy Dissection of the lymph nodes follows the path of the saphenous vein, starting from the lowest part and moving up past the arch to the area where are lying the lymph nodes situated at the confluence of the external pudendal veins, the superficial epigastric vein, and the superficial circumflex vein. The dissection was performed on the ipsilateral side of the tumor in 9 patients, on contra lateral side in 6 cases (in case of clinically suspected inguinal nodes a traditional open dissection was performed) and on both sides in the 13 patients with central disease. The nodes primarily involved are the superficial inguinal lymph nodes (Andrews, et al., 1994). www.thetrocar.net /view.asp?id=1   (2709 words)

Lymph Nodes All lymph nodes have the primary function of the production of lymphocytes, which help defend the body against microorganisms and against harmful foreign particles and debris from lymph before it is returned to the blood stream. Hodgkin's disease is an enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck, which gradually spreads throughout the lymphatic system, including the spleen. Lymph nodes generally occur in groups along the larger lymphatic vessels. www.innerbody.com /text/lymp05.html   (174 words)

Myocytes of Lymph Vessels and Nodes Spiral orientation of myocytes is an optimal one for modification of lymphangion shape in the process of contraction and for pulse lymph transition from peripheral lymphangion to the central one. Attempt of researches to refer indicated layers to tunics of vessel by analogy with blood vessels (arteries and veins) does not have sufficient grounds as practically there is no bounds (elastic membranes) between tunics of lymph vessel. Orientation of myocytes in the vessel wall is of interest for understanding the pulse transition of lymph from one lymphangion to another. lymphbiology.tamu.edu /myocytes.html   (2888 words)

The Lymphatic System as a drainage system Lymph capillaries branch and interconnect freely and extend into almost all tissues of the body except the CNS (Central Nervous System) and the avascular tissues such as the epidermis and the cartilage. The technique is also used to locate lymph nodes for radiation therapy or for surgical removal. Lymphatics from the lower portion of the body converge to form a dilated lymph vessel, the cisterna chyli, in the lumbar region of the abdominal cavity. www.jdaross.mcmail.com /lymphatics2.htm   (711 words)

Basic Information on the Lymph System Your lymph system is only one of many important systems in your body, i.e., the central nervous system, the digestive system, the blood system, etc.. As the lymph flows through the lymph vessels, it occasionally encounters lymph nodes or lymph glands which filter the fluid and rid it of excess protein and foreign matter that had been picked up along the way. The lymph system is actually quite similar to the blood system in its use of vessels, but instead of blood, the lymph vessels contain lymph fluid. lymphedema.articleinsider.com /164007_lymph_system.html   (711 words)

Medmicro Chapter 1a The system consists of 1) monocytes in the blood, 2) macrophages in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, connective tissues, and submucosal tissues of the respiratory and alimentary tracts, 3) dendritic cells in lymph nodes, 4) Langerhans cells in skin, and 4) glial cells in the central nervous system. The lymphoid system is divided into 1) central lymphoid organs, the thymus and bone marrow, and 2) peripheral lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosal and submucosal tissues of the alimentary and respiratory tracts. The system is divided into a) central lymphoid organs, the thymus and bone marrow, and b) peripheral lymphoid organs including lymph nodes, spleen, and the mucosa/submucosa of the respiratory and alimentary tracts (Fig. gsbs.utmb.edu /microbook/ch001a.htm   (3982 words)

Stomach cancer Staging of stomach cancer is based on how deep the growth has penetrated the stomach lining; to what extent (if any) it has invaded surrounding lymph nodes; and to what extent (if any) it has spread to distant parts of the body (metastasized). The stomach is a J-shaped organ that lies in the left and central portion of the abdomen. Stomach cancer (also known as gastric cancer) is a disease in which the cells forming the inner lining of the stomach become abnormal and start to divide uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. www.healthatoz.com /healthatoz/Atoz/ency/stomach_cancer.jsp   (3275 words)

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine: Pathologic quiz case: An incidental gastric mass in a 71-year-old man who presented with pancreatic pseudocyst A case of malignant gastric glomus tumor with metastases to the liver, lymph nodes, and peritoneum has been reported; the patient, however, lived for more than 15 years following the surgical resection.4 Another case of gastric glomangioma included a massive tumor of the greater curvature of the stomach that weighed 12 kg. This pattern is distinguished from carcinoids because vascular channels are not a feature of carcinoids.1 In glomus tumors, immunostains for smooth muscle markers, such as smooth muscle actin and muscle-specific antigen, are positive, and leukocyte common antigen and neuroendocrine markers, such as synaptophysin and chromogranin, are negative, differentiating glomus tumors from carcinoid and lymphoma, respectively. Glomus cells are uniform and round, with central dark nuclei containing coarse chromatin and pale, eosinophilic, amphophilic, or clear cytoplasm. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3725/is_200212/ai_n9159997   (3275 words)

SBRI - Diseases: African Sleeping Sickness Initially, parasites multiply in the blood, causing a litany of non-specific symptoms, such as fever, severe headache, extreme fatigue, swollen lymph nodes and aching muscles and joints. In the second phase of disease, the parasites infect the central nervous system resulting in irreversible neurological damage manifested by confusion, personality changes, difficulty walking, sleep disturbance, and eventually coma and death. African sleeping sickness is a parasitic infection caused by a species of parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of the tsetse fly. www.sbri.org /diseases/african.asp   (426 words)

Pulmonary Embolus Extrinsic compression of the pulmonary vessels by primary lung carcinomas, metastatic lesions to the lung, and enlarged hilar lymph nodes can also result in abrupt occlusion of a pulmonary vessel. Less common findings are pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure, Westermark's sign (enlargement of the central vessels with segmental or lobar oligemia), and Hampton's hump (a wedge-shaped opacity abutting the pleura due to pulmonary infarction). Occlusion of the pulmonary arteries may be seen in other disorders including an arteritis involving the pulmonary vasculature, such as Takayasu's arteritis. brighamrad.harvard.edu /Cases/bwh/hcache/182/full.html   (426 words)

CHEST: Tumors of the anterior mediastinum - Primary Mediastinal Tumors, part 1 - review article The middle mediastinum is defined as the space that contains the heart and pericardium to include the ascending and transverse aorta, the brachiocephalic vessels, the vena cavae, the main pulmonary arteries and veins, the trachea, bronchi, and lymph nodes. The mediastinum is located in the central portion of the thorax, between the two pleural cavities, the diaphragm and the thoracic inlet.[1] It is usually divided into anterior, middle, and posterior "compartments" to help categorize tumors and diseases according to their site of origin and location. Primarily mediastinal tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplastic, congenital, and inflammatory conditions.[3] Neurogenic tumors, thymomas, and benign cysts account for approximately 60% of surgically resected lesions while lymphoma, teratomas, and granulomatous diseases together comprise an additional 30%.[1] In nonsurgical series, vascular lesions, typically aortic aneurysms, account for 10% of mediastinal masses. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0984/is_n2_v112/ai_19731473   (996 words)

BioMed Central Full text Improved immunohistochemical evaluation of micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes of cutaneous melanoma with 'MCW Melanoma Cocktail' – A mixture of monoclonal antibodies to MART-1, melan-A, and tyrosinase In the present study, we evaluated the combination of monoclonal antibodies; MART-1, Melan-A, and Tyrosinase in optimized titers (Table 1) for evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes of cutaneous melanoma. Improved immunohistochemical evaluation of micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes of cutaneous melanoma with 'MCW Melanoma Cocktail' – A mixture of monoclonal antibodies to MART-1, melan-A, and tyrosinase Hypothetically, due to the immunoreactivity of the cocktail towards three epitopes of two antigens in the same tissue section, combined use of these immunomarkers should increase the sensitivity while still maintaining their individual high specificity. www.biomedcentral.com /1471-2407/3/15   (996 words)
