“…Th e necrotic area surrounded by many macrophages with vacuoles and also fi brosis with minor lymphocyte infi ltration may be seen. It was reported that in the necrotic areas, with PAS staining eosinophilic, with GMS staining brown-black stained fungal cell walls can be seen (Vogl et al, 2015). In the present case, the histopathological examination fi ndings of necrotic areas in the lung tissue were consistent with the fi ndings of previously reported Cryptococcal infections.…”

A 4-year-old, 3.5-kg, entire male cat was presented with severe lethargy and increasing dyspnoea and respiratory distress, nasal discharge, excessive salivation, loss of appetite and weight loss, over the past few days. He was an indoor-outdoor cat and was fed a homemade diet. On physical examination, severe laboured abdominal breathing, nasal discharge and excessive salivation were evident. Mucous membranes were slightly hyperaemic, with no jaundice or cyanosis observed. There was no jugular distension. Gingival capillary refill time was 2 seconds. Body temperature was 39.2 °C. On palpation, the mandibular lymph nodes were mildly enlarged, while no abdominal mass was detected. On thoracic auscultation, bronchial crackles in the right lung lobe and dysphonia in the left lobe were noted. The cat was initially stabilised with oxygen therapy (10 L/min) by oxygen chamber. Venous blood (jugular venepuncture), urine (mid-stream free-flow) and faecal samples (rectal swab) were taken for laboratory analysis. Abdominal ultrasonography, thoracic and abdominal radiography, and thoracic computed tomography (CT) were performed.

“…Parietal lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity include 3 groups: lymph nodes of the anterior wall of the thoracic cavity (parasternal, parathoracic, axillary); lymph nodes of the posterior thoracic cavity (intercostal, paravertebral); lymph nodes of the lower thoracic cavity (diaphragmatic, pericardial -anterior, lateral, retro pericardial). Among the parietal lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity, there are: interthoracic, deltoid, subclavian, parathoracic, parasternal, and intercostal (11).…”

Introduction: Many pathological processes such as infections, intoxications, and malignant tumors were spread through the lymphatic vessels of the thoracic cavity. In the present study, we investigated the anatomy of the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity in humans. Materials and methods: The examination was performed on 60 cadavers of fetuses (25), newborn children (14), children (11), and adults (10). Lymphatic vessels of the rib periosteum, costovertebral, costotransverse, and sternocostal joints, as well as parietal lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity were studied. A comparative study of arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels was carried out. Results: The parietal lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity include parasternal (localized along the course of the thoracic arteries and veins), paramammary (located near the lateral edge of the pectoralis major muscle), intercostal, paravertebral, and upper diaphragm. The efferent lymphatic vessels of the periosteum and perichondrium of the first three ribs go to the intercostal lymph nodes, to the parasternal, paravertebral and diaphragmatic lymph nodes. Conclusion: The presence of intercalated lymph nodes on the thoracic cavity is characteristic of the entire lymphatic system and should be considered in the pathology of the thoracic cavity.

Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a syndrome characterized by fatigue-and activity-induced improvements in skeletal muscular weakening. There is a wide range of possible involvement, including but not limited to the muscles of the eyes, face, oropharynx, trunk, and limbs. Once the patient's level of weakness has been managed to the point that surgery is possible, thymectomy is recommended. Preoperatively, patients are typically treated with mild doses of intravenous immunoglobulins as well as glucocorticoids. Objective: Review of the literature on thymectomy approaches among myasthenia graves' patients. Methods: We scoured medical journals and databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for information on thymectomy and myasthenia graves. Between September 2006 and August 2022, however, only the latest or most comprehensive study was considered. The authors also assessed the usefulness of references drawn from similar books. Documents written in languages other than English have been overlooked because of lack of funding to translate them. Unpublished articles, oral talks, conference abstracts, and dissertations were all generally agreed upon not to constitute valid scientific investigation. Conclusion: It has been argued that a maximum thymectomy, in which both the transsternal and transcervical techniques are used on the same MG patient, yields superior results. After extensive transsternal thymectomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy, half of patients with non-thymomatous MG had complete stable remissions at 6 years of follow-up.
