Variations of venous pattern in the arm are common. In this case report, we present a variation of axillary artery and vein. During routine educational dissections of axillary region, it was observed that a fenestrated axillary vein was perforated by a variant axillary artery in right arm of an old male cadaver. The axillary artery which was fenestrated through axillary vein had only two branch...

The main basin for breast lymphatic drainage is ipsilateral axilla. However, extra-axillary drainage may be seen in some patients. The most common extra-axillary site is internal mammary chain, while contralateral axillary drainage is an extremely rare situation in previously untreated patients. We describe a case of untreated right breast retroareolar carcinoma with contralateral axillary drai...

Abstract Background: The axillary lymph node stage is one of the single most important determinants in the prognosis of breast cancer patients. The disadvantages of the two previous methods used for evaluating axillary node metastasis, i.e., axillary lymph node dissection and sentinel lymph node biopsy, have directed researchers to investigate new techniques for this purpose. The aim of the cur...

BACKGROUND Axillary web syndrome is a cause of significant morbidity in the early postoperative period after axillary surgery. CASE PRESENTATION A patient developed axillary web syndrome after secondary breast surgery and recovered in 3 weeks through physical therapy and using Aescuven Forte. DISCUSSION The pathogenesis of axillary web syndrome is not clear. It is reported that axillary sur...

dog rose (rosa canina) has been using as a rootstock for ornamental roses also it is one of the medicinal plants. it can be propagated under in vitro conditions. after removing chilling requirement of buds, axillary wood buds of dog rose were cut in three nodal positions (lower, middle and terminal) on the stem and then explants after decontamination, cultured on murashige and skoog medium (ms ...

introduction: size of axillary lymph nodes can be a predictor for breast abnormalities. the agents in the antiperspirants such as aluminum were observed in the breast biopsy of individual with abnormalities and antiperspirants usage. in this study, the relation between using antiperspirants and the size of axillary lymph nodes were evaluated in iranian women. methods: in this study, 120 women w...

BACKGROUND Generally, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is performed in patients with clinically negative axillary lymph node (LN). This study was to assess imaging techniques in axillary LN staging and to evaluate the feasibility of SLNB in patients clinically suspected of axillary LN metastasis on preoperative imaging techniques (SI). METHODS A prospectively maintained database of 767 breas...

This article has presented a rare case of multiple fibroadenomas of the breasts and axillary accessory breast. In the light of current knowledge, the most proper management is discussed. A 37-year-old woman was referred to our Breast Service due to complaint of a right axillary accessory breast nodule. On physical examination, there were no palpable breast nodules. Bilateral axillary accessory ...

Plant shoots elaborate their adult form by selective control over the growth of both their primary shoot apical meristem and their axillary shoot meristems. We describe recessive mutations at two loci in Arabidopsis, MAX1 and MAX2, that affect the selective repression of axillary shoots. All the first order (but not higher order) axillary shoots initiated by mutant plants remain active, resulti...

BACKGROUND: The axillary lymph node status is one of the most relevant prognostic factors in breast cancer. The noninvasive investigation of axillary lymph node involvement in the preoperative diagnosis is one of the greatest challenges in the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of our study is to assess the significance of preoperative axillary diagnostics. It will be verified whether the axil...
