Abstract:
The approach to treating common (cystic) lymphatic malformations (LMs) has evolved significantly over the last decade due to clinical research and recent developments in molecular biology. Surgery, sclerosing agents, and medical drugs with specific targets for biological therapy have been reported for the management of LMs. We will discuss the importance to standardize the location and imaging characterization of LMs to improve the knowledge about the outcome of the different therapeutic options. Our goal is to help the reader understand the different options for the management of LMs with the balance between risk and benefit for the patients.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
