Additionally, cells, antigens, and other factors exit the brain into the periphery via damaged blood–brain barrier cells, glymphatic transport mechanisms, and lymphatic vessels, which dramatically influence the systemic immune response and lead to complex neuroimmune communi- cation. As a result, the immunological response after stroke is a highly dynamic event that involves communication between multiple organ systems and cell types, with significant consequences on not only the initial stroke tissue injury but long-term recovery in the CNS. In this review, we discuss the complex immunological and physiological interactions that occur after stroke with a focus on how the peripheral immune system and CNS communicate to regulate post-stroke brain homeostasis. First, Citation: Choi, Y.H.; Laaker, C.; Hsu, we discuss the post-stroke immune cascade across different contexts as well as homeostatic regulation M.; Cismaru, P.; Sandor, M.; Fabry, Z.

As of August 18, 2015, a total of 76819 dengue cases and 212 dengue deaths have been reported for 2015 according to Malaysian health officials [1]. Atypical presentations of dengue fever are also on the rise, which are underreported or unrecognized due to lack of awareness [2,3,4]. Lymphedema complicating dengue fever has not been reported in any literature. We detail this case to highlight the varied manifestations of dengue fever.

Received February 22nd, 2020; Revised March 01st, 2020; Accepted March 03rd, 2020 ABSTRACT The junction of tubules, thymus, tonsils, spleen, lymph nodes, diffuse lymphatic tissue, lymph nodules and vessels compose the lymphatic system, which unidirectionally collects the lymph from the interstitial space, leading it back to the venous circulation. The process where there is an imbalance between lymph uptake and conduction, causing it to stagnate in the tissues, is called lymphedema, which can be divided into congenital or late. Once the lymphedema installation begins, acute inflammation begins, followed by structural changes in the tissue, the deposition of repair tissue and the gradual evolution to a chronic inflammatory profile and once the lymphedematous process is established, it is not possible to achieve remission, leaving only palliative actions that reduce discomfort and attenuate the evolution of the condition. Several researches currently employ cell therapy in various approaches to treat lymphedema. Keywords: Lymphatic system, Lymphedema, Circulation, Lymph, Anatomy INTRODUCTION Lymphatic System Anatomy Among the various circulatory disorders that cause extremity The circulatory system results in the fusion of numerous edema there is lymphedema, characterized by the tubules and vessels, which are constantly traversed by blood accumulation of interstitial fluid, resulting from disorders in and lymph, thus distinguishing the blood vascular system the lymphatic system.

  • Presentation of Childhood Lymphoedema
    Clinical REVIEW PRESENTATION OF CHILDHOOD LYMPHOEDEMA Fiona Connell, Glen Brice, Sahar Mansour, Peter Mortimer Childhood lymphoedema is a relatively rare condition, uncommon outside of specialist clinics, but which has a significant effect on the affected individual and the family. As a lifelong condition with, at present, no cure, management of the condition by dedicated lymphoedema therapists is of paramount importance. Increasingly, the underlying molecular genetic cause of some forms of childhood lymphoedema are being elucidated, which has lead to a more precise diagnosis and may, in the future, lead to novel treatments. This paper describes the ways in which the condition may present, ways it can be investigated and the current forms of management. diagnostic difficulty to clinicians and distress 2003).
