Lymph nodes are part of the body’s immune system. A swollen lymph node in the armpit may be a sign of a bacterial or viral infection, an injury, or a serious health condition, such as cancer.

This mini-review critically examines both traditional and advanced imaging modalities used to detect and manage LC, including mammography, ultrasound, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), ...

A lump on the side of the neck could be a swollen lymph node caused by a bacterial or viral infection or a benign (non-cancerous) growth like a cyst, lipoma, or goiter. Swollen, infected salivary ...

CD20 is a CD marker—a molecule on the cell surface that can be used to identify and type a particular cell in the body. CD20 is found on the surface of B cells (a type of immune system cell). But ...

However, because hydrated slabs enter the mantle in different locations and with different speeds, shapes, and sizes, researchers expect that water isn’t distributed evenly throughout the zone.

The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting ...

Phase II Study Shows the Effect of Adenoviral Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C and Lymph Node Transfer in Lymphedema. Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery , 2024; 155 (2): 256e DOI: 10.1097/PRS ...

A multicenter study led from Finland has shown that lymph node transfer is a viable treatment for the swelling in the affected limb, a condition known as lymphedema, after breast cancer surgery.
