Single-port Non-liposuction Endoscopic Axillary Lymph Node Dissection in Breast Cancer Surgery
0 Views •
2026
This study describes a standardized surgical procedure for single-port endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction in breast cancer. Indicated for patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastasis or positive sentinel lymph nodes, the technique emphasizes preservation of critical structures, particularly the intercostobrachial nerve, to reduce postoperative morbidity and optimize functional recovery.

IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region
0 Views •
2024
IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the C=O, C=N, and C=C occur between 1600–1850 cm−1. The...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region
0 Views •
2020
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences. The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...
FAQs
The clavicle, scapula, humerus, and surrounding muscles shape a confined passage between the thorax, neck, and upper limb. This arrangement explains why major vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels travel together through the area. Understanding those boundaries helps relate regional injuries or clinical procedures to the structures that may be affected.
Axillary lymph nodes filter lymph arriving from the upper limb, breast, and portions of the thoracic wall. Their position allows them to participate in immune surveillance across several connected regions. Because lymphatic drainage can carry disease-related material toward these nodes, the region also provides important information about the distribution and possible spread of disease.
The axillary region serves as a shared route for the axillary artery and vein and the brachial plexus, which connects the neck and thorax with the upper limb. Their close regional relationship makes precise anatomical knowledge important during vascular or nerve procedures and when evaluating injuries that affect the shoulder or arm.
Its position between the upper limb and thorax creates an anatomical transition zone linking structures from the neck and chest with the arm. This connection gives the region broader significance than a surface landmark alone: changes or injuries in one neighboring area may involve vessels, nerves, or lymphatic pathways passing through the axilla.
Clinical examination of the axillary region can assess an area containing major vascular, neural, and lymphatic structures. Its connections with the upper limb, breast, and thoracic wall make it relevant when evaluating regional disease or injury. Examination findings can therefore contribute to understanding conditions involving the shoulder, arm, breast, or nearby thoracic tissues.
Axillary lymph nodes are important in breast cancer staging because they receive lymph from the breast and parts of the thoracic wall. Evaluating these nodes can provide information about whether disease has involved regional lymphatic pathways. Their drainage territory makes the axilla a key anatomical site when determining the extent of breast disease.
Procedures involving vessels or nerves near the shoulder and arm must account for the axilla’s concentrated arrangement of the axillary artery, vein, brachial plexus, and lymphatic vessels. The region provides access to connected structures, but its confined anatomy also means that accurate knowledge of boundaries and contents is essential for planning and interpreting such procedures.
