Nail changes, lymphedema, and respiratory symptoms

Lymphedema is extremity swelling caused by lymphatic dysfunction. We describe a chronic murine tail model of lymphedema and the novel use of tissue nanotransfection technology (TNT) for genetic cargo delivery to the...

This video utilizes ultrasonography for diagnosis and follow-up tests to determine treatment efficacy of Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL).  Ultrasonography can be applied effectively to ensure diagnosis and treatment of...

This video describes an in vivo technique to generate murine tail lymphedema, an abnormal fluid accumulation in the interstitial tissue space leading to swelling in the tail. The model is applied to study mechanisms and therapy for...

This study utilized ultrasonography for diagnosis and follow-up tests to confirm treatment efficacy of Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Ultrasonography can be applied effectively to ensure diagnosis and treatment of...

This animal model enables researchers to induce statistically significant secondary lymphedema in the hindlimb of mice, lasting at least 8 weeks. The model can be used to study the pathophysiology of lymphedema and to investigate novel treatment...

Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.
The main components of a nail include the following.
Nail Plate: The nail plate is the visible portion of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips or toes. It is a hard, translucent...
