Lymphoscintigraphy findings in patients with chylothorax: influence of biochemical parameters
ConclusionLymphoscintigraphy technique is a dependable diagnostic tool for the qualitative assessment of chylous pleural effusion. Higher pleural effusion triglyceride level and pleural effusion triglyceride/serum triglyceride ratio indicate a positive result in patients with chylothorax on lymphoscintigraphy, with the cutoff values of 2.870 mmol/L and 4.625 aiding in the diagnosis.

Utility of 99mTc-Sulfur Colloid Lymphoscintigraphy and SPECT/CT in Chylothorax and Chylous Ascites
Conclusion99mTc-sulfur colloid lymphoscintigraphy is a highly efficacious noninvasive modality to diagnose chylothorax or chylous ascites with a high positive predictive value. SPECT/CT could localize the sites of leaks more frequently in patients with surgical causes. (Source: Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)

In-vivo lymphoscintigraphy of sinonasal tumors identifies retropharyngeal node and level I as predominant sentinel nodes
CONCLUSION: The RPLN is noted as a frequent draining node for sino-nasal tumours and merits routine attention in all sino-nasal tumors. The radio-colloid SPECT-CT technique described here offers an excellent in-vivo technique to further explore and validate the lymphatic drainage pathways of these tumours.PMID:37399973 | DOI:10.1016/j.remnie.2023.06.007 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Radiopharmaceuticals for sentinel lymph node identification in breast cancer
AbstractBreast cancer is still one of the substantial malignancies with high mortalities which early and accurate diagnosis is very decisive in providing long survival. Nuclear medicine lately introduced a novel way for evaluation of breast cancer in early and advanced stages. This method is based on sentinel lymph node scintigraphy which is more preferable over axillary lymphadenectomy, since it results in less postoperative morbidity. For this aim radiocolloids have superlative impress for detection of metastatic lymph nodes. In this short review we will try to introduce radiopharmaceuticals which play an important role ...

Short term treatment of secondary lymphedema with hyaluronidase injections reduces mouse hindlimb lymphedema
J Plast Surg Hand Surg. 2023 Jun 20;58:40-47. doi: 10.2340/jphs.v58.7791.ABSTRACTLymphedema is a common complication following breast cancer treatment with axillary lymphadenectomy and radiotherapy. Currently, there is no curative treatment for this disease, hence there is a need for new therapeutic suggestions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyaluronidase (HYAL) injections after inducing hindlimb lymphedema in 36 female C57BL/6 mice. HYAL injections were administered every second day for 14 days in three groups: (1) HYAL for 1 week followed by saline for 1 week, (2) HYAL for 2 weeks, and (3) saline...
