Patients3
  • Methods: Retrospective study of 83 radio-chemotherapy naïve patients with adenocarcinoma at the gastro-esophageal junction (Siewert type II n = 65 and type III n = 18) operated upon 1986-2011. (lu.se)
  • Patients with specific patterns of referred pain (trigger points), indication of blood vessel, lymph, nerve entrapment or proprioceptive disturbances (balance) should be evaluated for MPS. (tripod.com)
  • Lymph node samples were included for two of the patients. (ox.ac.uk)
Chronic2
  • grouped in two ways: by how rapidly the disease develops (acute vs. chronic leukemia) and by the type of blood cell involved (lymphocytic and myeloid leukemia being the most common). (cdc.gov)
  • occurring type, followed by chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (cdc.gov)
Cells8
  • The lymph nodes-glands of the immune system located throughout the body-are typically the traveling cells' first destination. (phys.org)
  • Upon entering the circulation, the HIV microorganisms abduct a type of white blood cell known as T-helper lymphocytes (also known as CD4 cells, T cells or helper-Ts). (healthychildren.org)
  • We have employed intravital TP-LSM to study the lymphocyte trafficking, to examine the role of innate cells in B-cell responses, and to study antigen processing in the lymph node. (nih.gov)
  • and 8) identified a network of cells in lymph nodes that uptake the envelope protein of HIV and deliver it to lymph node B cells. (nih.gov)
  • Here we create a single-cell census of the healthy human gut, encompassing around 428,000 cells from the small and the large intestines as well as associated lymph nodes during in utero development, childhood and adulthood. (nature.com)
  • Now, by analyzing over 200 lymph nodes, a team of researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden has found that lipomatosis begins in the medulla (the central part of the lymph nodes), and is characterized by the transformation of the fibroblasts (the supporting parts of the lymph nodes) into adipocytes (fat cells). (earth.com)
  • The lymph node cells were rinsed through the gauze with 4 mL of PBS into a petri dish labelled with the project number and dose concentration. (europa.eu)
  • The petri dish was washed with an additional 5 mL of PBS to remove all remaining lymph node cells and these were added to the centrifuge tube. (europa.eu)
Palpation1
Cancers1
  • This method is typically used to treat stomach cancers with low likelihood of lymph node spread. (mdanderson.org)
Axillary surgery1
Immune system1
  • Lymph nodes usually serve as the headquarters of our immune system. (earth.com)
Macrophages1
  • Finally, we are investigating some aspects of the signaling pathway that triggers autophagy and inflammasome activation in macrophages and other cell types. (nih.gov)
Distant1
  • If this is not affected, the more distant lymph nodes are very likely tumor-free and do not have to be removed. (wikipedia.org)
Cutaneous1
  • [ 6 ] Sentinel node scanning was initially studied in cutaneous melanomas to detect lymphatic drainage patterns before surgery. (medscape.com)
