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...

Objetive: to analyze whether ultrasonography with fine-needle aspiration cytology of an axillary suspicious node, in patients breast cancer, could help differentiate between low involvement the axilla (up 2 nodes macrometastasis) those high (more than lymph macrometastasis). Material and methods: A total 115 consecutive cancer 5 cm diameter), clinically negative pathologically positive axilla. ...

PURPOSE The present study aimed to measure the thickness of the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) at the site of the surgical incision for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and to record potential anatomical variations in the medial cutaneous nerve of the arm (MCNA), the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN), the lateral thoracic vein (LTV), the lateral thoracic artery (LTA) and the pectoral musc...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become standard to stage the axilla in cases of clinically and Ultrasound negative avoiding unnecessary axillary Lymph dissection which is associated with higher morbidity patients 1. The Primary objective preoperatively detect metastasis USG confirmed perform Biopsy, 2. To negate need for treatment breast cancer sentinel A total number 80 core needle prove...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficiency of the Ultrasound (US)-guided large needle core biopsy of axilla lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2004 to September 2005, 31 patients underwent the US-guided core biopsy for axilla lymph nodes. Twenty five lesions out of 31 were detected during breast US, and 6 of 31 cases were palpable. Lymph nodes were classified based on their shap...

Back ground: Absence of abduction or presence of restricted abduction movement of shoulder or presence of infection or space occupying mass in axilla creates difficulties or offers impossibilities to expose axilla for brachial plexus block at the same level. Aims: To introduce axillary block in the presence of axillary infection, mass and restricted movement of the shoulder through anterior fol...

BACKGROUND To reduce myocardial damage caused by implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock, the left axilla was studied as an alternative pulse generator implantation site, and compared with the traditional implantation site, the left anterior chest. METHODSANDRESULTS Computer simulation was used to study the defibrillation conduction pattern and estimate the simulated defibrillation...
