Lymph nodes are essential structures to be evaluated in an ultrasonographic examination of the feline abdomen. It was hypothesized that current technical proficiency would allow all feline abdominal lymph nodes to be identified ultrasonographically. Ten clinically normal, adult, domestic shorthair cats were examined using real-time compound ultrasonographic imaging. The medial iliac lymph nodes...

detection of bovine leukemia virus antigens can induces humoral immunity in cow were evaluated. fifteen lymph node from infected cows that had positive results in agid and elisa tests for blv and have clinical signs of lymphosarcoma, in addition five lymph node from apparently healthy cows that had negative results in serological tests. after preparation of extract of lymph nodes, all of the sa...

background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is a technique used to identify the axillary node most likely to contain tumor cells that have metastasized from a primary carcinoma of the breast. this technique provides accurate staging with fewer complications than axillary dissection and may result in decreased costs. we designed the present study to determine the accuracy and success rate of a combi...

PURPOSE This study investigated whether the number of involved lymph nodes is associated with the prognosis in patients that underwent surgery for pathological stage (p-stage) III/N2 NSCLC. SUBJECTS This study evaluated 121 patients with p-stage III/N2 NSCLC. RESULTS The histological types included 65 adenocarcinomas, 39 squamous cell carcinomas and 17 others. The average number of dissecte...

background: linguatula serrata is one of well known members of pentastomida which infects both human and animals. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of l. serrata in mesenteric lymph nodes, livers and lungs of camels slaughtered in tabriz area, iran. methods: mesenteric lymph nodes (mlns), livers and lungs of 140 one-humped camels slaughtered in tabriz , north-west of iran wer...

introduction: there is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (i and ii) breast cancer patients. usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. in this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. methods: 40 patients with the clinical dia...

Currently, somatic cell count (SCC) and bacterial culture are considered as the gold standard of detecting subclinical Mastitis. Mastitis leads to proliferation of lymphocytes in the supramammary lymph nodes and subsequent enlargement of ipsilateral lymph node. Ultrasonography can be used to survey these changes. A portable ultrasound machine with a 2-5 MHz convex transducer was used to identif...

Background. The studies on risk factors and metastatic rate of retropancreatic (number 13) lymph nodes in gastric adenocarcinoma were few and the results were still controversial. The aim of this study was to elucidate risk factors and prognostic significance of number 13 lymph nodes in gastric adenocarcinoma. Method. From January 2000 to December 2011, 114 patients who underwent gastrectomy wi...

A potential source of pathogenic bacteria in ground beef is the lymphatic system, specifically the lymph nodes. Bacteria have been isolated from the lymph nodes of cattle at slaughter; however, most studies have dealt with mesenteric lymph nodes, which are not normally incorporated into ground beef. The objective of the current study was to determine the prevalence and multidrug-resistance stat...
