Rationale: Lymphatic vessels in the respiratory tract normally mature into a functional network during the neonatal period, but under some pathological conditions they can grow as enlarged, dilated sacs that result in the potentially lethal condition of pulmonary lymphangiectasia. Objective: We sought to determine whether overexpression of the lymphangiogenic growth factor (vascular endothelial growth factor-C [VEGF-C]) can promote lymphatic growth and maturation in the respiratory tract. Unexpectedly, perinatal overexpression of VEGF-C in the respiratory epithelium led to a condition resembling human pulmonary lymphangiectasia, a life-threatening disorder of the newborn characterized by respiratory distress and the presence of widely dilated lymphatics. Methods and Results: Administration of doxycycline to Clara cell secretory protein-reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator/tetracycline operator-VEGF-C double-transgenic mice during a critical period from embryonic day 15.5 to postnatal ...

There was no hydronephrosis on the left side. Renal arteries and veins were normal on both sides. Both kidneys showed normal contrast enhancement and excretion.. The perirenal fluid, aspirated under ultrasound guidance, was found to be clear and straw coloured. Laboratory analysis of the aspirated fluid revealed urea level of 5.24 mmol/L, total protein of 0.77 g/dL, absence of triglycerides and the presence of a few lymphocytes. On protein electrophoresis there was a selective protein band in the albumin region. Both gram and acid-fast stain revealed no organisms and culture was negative. The laboratory analysis was in favour of lymphatic fluid.. The diagnosis, based on the typical imaging findings and the laboratory analysis of the fluid, was bilateral renal lymphangiectasia with a retrocaval right ureter. Following conservative management with antihypertensives and diuretics, his renal function improved and blood pressure returned to normal.. Discussion. Bilateral renal lymphangiectasia is a ...

If an occipital encephalocele/ meningocele is present, induction of anesthesia is best performed in the left lateral position or alternatively on bolsters avoiding any pressure on the lesion. Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia is often fatal in the neonatal period; respiratory distress has not been described in these patients, which probably indicates a mild form of congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia. However, the threshold for a chest radiograph and/or an arterial blood gas analysis should be kept low. Increases in intraocular pressure should be avoided in patients at risk for retinal detachment. ...

1) Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a special class of fatty acids. Normal fats and oils contain long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). Compared to these fatty acids, MCTs are much shorter in length. Therefore, they resemble carbohydrates more than fat. As a result, they are more easily absorbed, digested, and utilized as energy than LCTs. (2) Medium-chain triglycerides are found naturally in milk fat, palm oil, and coconut oil. Commercial MCT oil, available as liquid and capsules, is obtained through lipid fractionation, the process in which MCTs are separated from other components of coconut oil. Medium-chain triglycerides were originally formulated in the 1950s as an alternative food source for patients who are too ill to properly digest normal fats and oils. The long chains of LCTs require a lot of bile acids and many digestive steps to be broken down into smaller units that can be absorbed into the bloodstream See Also: Intestinal Lymphangiectasia Pulmonary Lymphangiectasia Lympangiectasia ...

Lymphangiomatosis (LYMF) is a condition where a lymphangioma is not present in a single localised mass, but in a widespread or multifocal manner. It is a rare type of tumor which results from an abnormal development of the lymphatic system. It is thought to be the result of congenital errors of lymphatic development occurring prior to the 20th week of gestation. Lymphangiomatosis is a condition marked by the presence of cysts that result from an increase both in the size and number of thin-walled lymphatic channels that are abnormally interconnected and dilated. 75% of cases involve multiple organs. It typically presents by age 20 and, although it is technically benign, these deranged lymphatics tend to invade surrounding tissues and cause problems due to invasion and/or compression of adjacent structures. The condition is most common in the bones and lungs and shares some characteristics with Gorhams disease. Up to 75% of patients with lymphangiomatosis have bone involvement, leading some to ...

A patient undergoing evaluation for malignant melanoma was thought to have a metastatic process involving the anterior mediastinum, axilla, spleen, and possibly liver based on radiologic findings from positron emission tomography and computed tomography scans. The clinical picture did not corroborate this suspicion, and biopsies ultimately confirmed lymphangioma in the accessory spleen and subcutaneous tissues, leading to a diagnosis of lymphangiomatosis. Diagnosis and management of lymphangiomatosis is clinically challenging. This report reviews the literature on the pathology, diagnostic imaging, and management of lymphangiomatosis ...

Barclay et al published an article in the Journal Genetics in Medicine and we got permission from the author to share a link on our website.. Purpose:. Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is a rare, frequently aggressive systemic disorder of the lymphatic vasculature, occurring primarily in children. Even with multimodal treatments, KLA has a poor prognosis and high mortality rate secondary to coagulopathy, effusions and systemic involvement. They hypothesized that, as has recently been found for other vascular anomalies, KLA may be caused by somatic mosaic variants affecting vascular development.. Methods:. Barclay et al performed exome sequencing of tumor samples from five individuals with KLA, along with samples from uninvolved control tissue in three of the five. They used digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) to validate the exome findings and to screen KLA samples from six other individuals.. Results:. Barclay et al identified a somatic activating NRAS variant (c.182A,G, p.Q61R) in ...

Bullous morphea is a rare form of localized scleroderma.1 The first case was described by Morrow in 1896.2 Since that time, numerous theories on its origin have been proposed.3-5. The most widely accepted theory on the origin of the blisters has been lymphatic obstruction due to lymphangiectasia caused by the underlying sclerotic changes.1,3,5,6 However, not all lesions of bullous morphea present lymphangiectasia on histology, nor do all cases of scleroderma with lymphangiectasia present blisters.1,4,7. Local trauma may be another etiologic and pathogenic factor, given the hemorrhagic content of some blisters and their frequent localization in areas of friction such as the legs and intertriginous areas.1,7,8 No history of trauma was detected in our patient, but some findings, such as the localization of the blisters in the pretibial region, the blood-stained content, and the absence of other etiologic and pathogenic factors, could suggest that unperceived trauma may have played a role in the ...

Lymphangiectasia is a pathologic dilation of lymph vessels. When it occurs in the intestines of dogs, and more rarely humans, it causes a disease known as intestinal lymphangiectasia. This disease is characterized by lymphatic vessel dilation, chronic diarrhea and loss of proteins such as serum albumin and globulin. It is considered to be a chronic form of protein-losing enteropathy. It is also known as lymphangiectasis. Chronic diarrhea is almost always seen with lymphangiectasia, but most other signs are linked to low blood protein levels (hypoproteinemia), which causes low oncotic pressure. These signs include ascites, pleural effusion, and edema of the limbs and trunk. Weight loss is seen with long-term disease. Biopsy of the small intestine shows dilation of the lacteals of the villi and distension of the lymphatic vessels. Reduced lymph flow leads to a malabsorption syndrome of the small intestine, especially of fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Rupture of the lymphatics causes protein ...

Intestinal lymphangiectasia, which can be classified as primary or secondary, is an unusual cause of protein-losing enteropathy. The main clinical features include edema, fat malabsorption, lymphopenia and hypoalbuminemia. Clinical management generally includes a low-fat diet and supplementation with medium chain triglycerides. A small number of recent reports advocate the use of octreotide in intestinal lymphangiectasia. It is unclear why octreotide was used in these studies; although octreotide can alter splanchnic blood flow and intestinal motility, its actions on lymphatic function has never been investigated. A case of a patient with intestinal lymphangiectasia who required a shunt procedure after failing medium chain triglycerides and octreotide therapy is presented. During the management of this case, all existing literature on intestinal lymphangiectasia and all the known actions of octreotide were reviewed. Because some of the case reports suggested that octreotide may improve the ...

Lymphangiectasia means dilated lymph vessels, in the intestinal tract, lymphangiectasia is usually caused by some kind of inflammation which puts back pressure on the lymph vessels leading them to dilate. Small terrier breeds, particularly the Yorkshire terrier, appear predisposed to the development of lymphangiectasia.

Lymphangiomas are rare benign lesions that are believed to result from abnormal development of the lymphatic system. Occasionally, lymphangiomas occur diffusely, and this process is referred to as generalized lymphangiomatosis. Generalized lymphangiomatosis most commonly presents with cystic lesions in visceral organs, mesenteric thickening, lytic bone lesions, diffuse thickening of the pulmonary interstitium, pulmonary nodules, mediastinal masses, and pleural and pericardial effusions.3 However, due to its widespread distribution, lymphangiomatosis may be seen in virtually any organ that contains lymphatic tissue.. Orbital lymphangioma is a more common benign cystic lesion, generally manifesting in childhood and often presenting with proptosis, exacerbated by intralesional hemorrhage. It can be locally infiltrative and grow along tissue planes, making resection difficult and the outcome dismal, with frequent local recurrence. Wright et al,4 in a series of 158 patients with orbital ...

Introduction The cause of sporadic angiodysplasia is unknown and the natural history poorly understood. Many lesions are thought to arise from a degenerative process associated with ageing. Most cases of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia appear to result from mutations in two genes, ENG and ACVRL1. These mutations alter the function of 2 key endothelial receptor proteins, endoglin and ALK-1 (part of the transforming growth factor β super-family), which ordinarily play a key role in maintaining vascular integrity. It has been observed that endoglin is over expressed in smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic plaques, suggesting a role for this protein in plaque progression, atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular disease. ...

Gorhams (GOR-amz) disease is a very rare skeletal condition of uncertain etiology, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of distended, thin-walled vascular or lymphatic channels within bone, which leads to resorption and replacement of bone with angiomas and/or fibrosis.1, 2 Because of the loss of the affected bone, the condition has been referred to as disappearing bone disease, vanishing bone disease, and massive osteolysis. In medical terminology osteolysis means: bone (osteo) breaking down or destruction (lysis).. The first known report of the condition came in 1838 in an article titled A Boneless Arm in what was then The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, now The New England Journal of Medicine.3 It is a brief but fascinating report chronicling the case of Mr. Brown who had, in 1819 at age 18 years, broken his right upper arm in an accident. The patient suffered two subsequent accidents, which fractured the arm twice more before the curative process had been completed. At ...

Dr. Kenneth Simpson and his team and Cornell University are seeking blood and DNA samples from Boxer Dogs and French Bulldogs for a Granulomatous Colitis study. Samples are needed from both healthy and affected dogs. Granulomatous colitis (GC) is a severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), typically diagnosed in Boxer dogs and French Bulldogs, but also other mastiff breeds, younger than four years of age. Affected dogs have diarrhea that leads to chronic weight loss, anemia, and debilitation. Previous studies have identified invasive bacteria within immune system cells, macrophages, in the colons of diseased dogs. Antibiotic treatments usually yield clinical improvement, however antibiotic resistant bacteria are present in some cases and persistently affected dogs suffer greatly. Our study aims to identify the genetic basis of this disease in dogs and to understand how the genes involved function in both GC affected and healthy dogs. This will facilitate the development of a genetic and/or functional

One of the great myths that always seem to reemerge in the lymphedema world is the notion that because our limbs are swollen with a protein rich fluid, that those of us with lymphedema should be on a low protein diet. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is a basic reality of our physiology that a certain amount of protein is required for a healthy life. In addition, the protein in the lymph fluid is waste protein and a by-product of our bodys metabolic process. The suggestion that a low protein diet is going to help your lymphedema is simply scientifically not true and is just plain bad medicine. It is bad medicine because there actually is a complication of lymphedema that can cause you to loose protein and wind up in with a serious medical condition. This is called intestinal lymphangiectasia. Commonly referred to as IL, the lymphatics of the intestine are dilated in IL and thus are unable to process fats and proteins correctly. Patients with IL are put on high protein diets with ...

Lena and Chris again watched helplessly as James was loaded into yet another ambulance and sent to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois.. Over the next two weeks, Chris and Lena were at the hospital every day. At one of the visits, the doctors said that they were concerned with Jamess lack of progress with his right lung. Risky tests were performed and after, Lena and Chris met with four specialists. James now had a diagnosis: Lymphangiectasia of right lung, absence of right pulmonary artery, absence of inferior venacava , and finally, hypospadius.. Doctors discussed what to look for and how to care for a child with one lung. After three days of preparation, Lena and Chris went to the hospital with the hopes that they would finally be able to bring little James home. And that is just what they did!.

Gastrointestinal (GI) protein loss, due to lymphangiectasia or chronic inflammation, can be challenging to diagnose. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of serum and fecal canine α1-proteinase inhibitor (cα1PI) concentrations to detect crypt abscesses and/or lacteal dilation in dogs. Serum and fecal cα1PI concentrations were measured in 120 dogs undergoing GI tissue biopsies, and were compared between dogs with and without crypt abscesses/lacteal dilation. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for dichotomous outcomes. Serial serum cα1PI concentrations were also evaluated in 12 healthy corticosteroid-treated dogs. Serum cα1PI and albumin concentrations were significantly lower in dogs with crypt abscesses and/or lacteal dilation than in those without (both P ,0.001), and more severe lesions were associated with lower serum cα1PI concentrations, higher 3 days-mean fecal cα1PI concentrations, and lower serum/fecal cα1PI ratios. Serum and fecal cα1PI, and their ratios, ...

Inflammation is the stereotyped tissue response to injury.. In inflammation, the vessels let protein leak out. If the tissue damage is severe enough, some of the local structural proteins may be solubilized as well.. Normally the fluid in the lymphatic vessels is scanty and contains very little protein. This changes when a lymphatic vessel drains an area where soluble proteins have accumulated in an area because of inflammation. ...

Lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis (LPE) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease of the dog characterized by protein-losing enteropathy, intestinal lymphangiectasia and a lymphocytic inflammatory response in the lamina propria of the small intestine[2]. This disease is one of the most common causes of chronic vomiting and diarrhoea in the dog[3]. The cause of LPE is thought to involve an exaggerated reaction of the mucosal immune system against the environment (bacteria and food antigens) in a susceptible dog[4]. In affected patients, there appears to be immunopathology in the intestinal microenvironment due to luminal antigns[5], characterized by upregulation of cytokines[6], leukocytes[7], lymphocyte apoptosis[8], toll-like receptors[9], nuclear factor kappa-beta[10] and intestinal microbial communities[11]. Symptoms which are commonly observed include chronic weight loss, intermittent anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea[12]. This disease may be multifactorial in origin as some dogs present with ...

Haissaguerre and colleagues (8,9) reported successful termination of AF in humans by radiofrequency catheter ablation at focal sites within the atrium. These sites were identified by double potentials around the pulmonary veins, especially near the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) (4). The left superior pulmonary vein is adjacent to the LOM. Rapid focal discharges from those sites trigger AF. These studies support a proposal made by Prinzmetal et al. (10) in 1950, who showed that a focal source of activation could explain the mechanisms of atrial arrhythmias, including AF.. The area near the LSPV or the LOM may serve as a source of AF, but the mechanisms by which rapid activations occur in that region remain unclear. Based on the anatomical data of this study, there are at least two possibilities. Because abundant sympathetic nerve fibers co-localize with muscle bundles within the LOM, it is possible that sympathetic activity may bring these muscle bundles to threshold by increased ...

Recent research suggests that lymphedema might be improved by high-pressure oxygen therapy. The use of oxygen might stimulate the growth of new lymphatic channels and reduce the scar tissues surrounding existing lymphatic channels leading to reduction of limb volume. ....Ozone is a naturally-occurring configuration of three oxygen atoms ... Ozone manifests bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal actions that might make it a treatment of choice in certain conditions and an adjunctive treatment in others. Ozone reacts with blood generates pharmacological messengers such as hydrogene peroxide, and lipid oxidation products, these activate several biochemical pathways in blood cells, which are responsible for therapeutic activities lasting several days. The result is improved red blood cell oxygen delivery, activated white blood cell immune response, platelet release of growth factors, endothelial release of nitrous oxide, release of stem cells from the bone morrow, and the upregulation of antioxidant ...
