- 3D Visualization of Human Blood Vascular Networks Using Single-Domain Antibodies Directed against Endothelial Cell-Selective Adhesion Molecule (ESAM)by Nils Rouven Hansmeier on 23 de abril de 2022 at 10:00
High-quality three-dimensional (3D) microscopy allows detailed, unrestricted and non-destructive imaging of entire volumetric tissue specimens and can therefore increase the diagnostic accuracy of histopathological tissue analysis. However, commonly used IgG antibodies are oftentimes not applicable to 3D imaging, due to their relatively large size and consequently inadequate tissue penetration and penetration speed. The lack of suitable reagents for 3D histopathology can be overcome by an…
- Exploring disease interrelationships in patients with lymphatic disorders: A single center retrospective experienceby Stanley G Rockson on 22 de abril de 2022 at 10:00
CONCLUSIONS: The presence or absence of a lymphatic disease significantly influences disease interrelationships in the study cohorts. As a physiologic substrate, the lymphatic circulation may be an underappreciated participant in disease pathogenesis. These relationships warrant further, prospective scrutiny and study.
- Capillary Western Immunoassay Optimization of Estrogen Related Factors in Human Subcutaneous Adipose Tissueby Jessica L Hill on 21 de abril de 2022 at 10:00
Lipedema is a multifaceted chronic fat disorder characterized by the bilateral and disproportionate accumulation of fat predominantly in the lower body regions of females. Research strongly supports that estrogen factors likely contribute to the pathophysiology of this disease. We aim to help demonstrate this link by quantifying estrogen factor differences between women with and without lipedema. For time and lipedema adipose tissue conservation, the Protein Simple WES machine will be utilized…

- A Multi-Gene Panel to Identify Lipedema-Predisposing Genetic Variants by a Next-Generation Sequencing Strategyby Sandro Michelini on 25 de fevereiro de 2022 at 11:00
Lipedema is a disabling disease characterized by symmetric enlargement of the lower and/or upper limbs due to deposits of subcutaneous fat, that is easily misdiagnosed. Lipedema can be primary or syndromic, and can be the main feature of phenotypically overlapping disorders. The aim of this study was to design a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel to help in the diagnosis of lipedema by identifying genes specific for lipedema but also genes for overlapping diseases, and targets for tailored…
- Persistent lipedema pain in patients after bariatric surgery: a case series of 13 patientsby Manuel E Cornely on 11 de fevereiro de 2022 at 11:00
CONCLUSIONS: Because of the different etiologies of lipedema and obesity, lipedema requires its own specific treatment. Patients suffering from obesity should always be assessed for pain and lipedema. If coincident lipedema is diagnosed, we suggest that bariatric surgery only be performed first if diet and exercise have failed, the patient’s body mass index is >40 kg/m², and the patient has been informed of the possible persistence of pain. Lipedema, like a coincident disease, must be…

- Lipedemaby Ankit Vyas on 1 de janeiro de 2022 at 11:00
Dr. Allen and Dr. Hines pioneered and first described lipedema in the 1940s, a common subcutaneous adipose tissue disorder characterized as enlargement of both lower extremities. Lipedema is not edema; it is a genetically determined disturbance in adipose tissue mass and adipose tissue distribution. In 1951 a second seminal paper provided more description of lipedema. Fat distribution involves lower extremities, upper arms, hips, buttocks, thighs sparing trunks, and feet. Lower extremities are…
- Management of Lipedema with Ketogenic Diet: 22-Month Follow-Upby Roberto Cannataro on 24 de dezembro de 2021 at 11:00
Lipedema is a pathology of adipose tissue, still of unclear etiology and challenging to diagnose. For these reasons, a therapeutic approach is also complex and sometimes controversial. The inflammation state present in lipedema can be limited by controlling the glycemic peaks. Specifically, the ketogenic diet (KD) seems to have the right conditions to be effective. Herein, we reported a subject diagnosed with lipedema who, with only KD nutritional intervention, achieved a significant weight loss…
- Indocyanine green lymphography as novel tool to assess lymphatics in patients with lipedemaby Giacomo Buso on 13 de dezembro de 2021 at 11:00
CONCLUSIONS: Present study suggests that lymphatic functioning in patients with lipedema correlates with symptoms duration. Further research on larger cohorts should verify our findings and clarify their potential therapeutic implications. Overall, ICG lymphography may be promising technique to assess both lymphatic anatomy and functioning in patients with lipedema.
- Lipedema Can Be Treated Non-Surgically: A Report of 5 Casesby Alexandre Campos Moraes Amato on 6 de dezembro de 2021 at 11:00
BACKGROUND Lipedema is a chronic progressive disease characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat in the subcutaneous region. Both medical and surgical treatments have been described in international guidelines; however, the current literature is biased toward promoting liposuction as the primary treatment of lipedema, and this can lead to the misapprehension that liposuction is the only form of definitive treatment. CASE REPORT In the present study, we report 5 cases at various stages of…
- Lipedema and the Potential Role of Estrogen in Excessive Adipose Tissue Accumulationby Kaleigh Katzer on 13 de novembro de 2021 at 11:00
Lipedema is a painful fat disorder that affects ~11% of the female population. It is characterized by bilateral, disproportionate accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue predominantly in the lower body. The onset of lipedema pathophysiology is thought to occur during periods of hormonal fluctuation, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. Although the identification and characterization of lipedema have improved, the underlying disease etiology remains to be elucidated. Estrogen, a key…
- Key signaling networks are dysregulated in patients with the adipose tissue disorder, lipedemaby Musarat Ishaq on 12 de novembro de 2021 at 11:00
CONCLUSION: We found significant differences in gene expression, and lipid and metabolite profiles, in tissue, ADSCs, and adipocytes from lipedema patients compared to non-affected controls. Functional assays demonstrated that dysregulated Bub1 signaling drives increased proliferation of lipedema ADSCs, suggesting a potential mechanism for enhanced adipogenesis in lipedema. Importantly, our characterization of signaling networks driving lipedema identifies potential molecular targets, including…

- A randomised controlled multicentre investigator-blinded clinical trial comparing efficacy and safety of surgery versus complex physical decongestive therapy for lipedema (LIPLEG)by Maurizio Podda on 31 de outubro de 2021 at 10:00
BACKGROUND: Lipedema is a chronic disorder of the adipose tissue that affects mainly women, characterised by symmetrical, excessive fatty tissue on the legs and pain. Standard conservative treatment is long-term comprehensive decongestive therapy (CDT) to alleviate lipedema-related pain and to improve psychosocial well-being, mobility and physical activity. Patients may benefit from surgical removal of abnormally propagated adipose tissue by liposuction. The LIPLEG trial evaluates the efficacy…
- Crosstalk Between Adipose and Lymphatics in Health and Diseaseby Gregory P Westcott on 31 de outubro de 2021 at 10:00
Adipose tissue, once thought to be an inert receptacle for energy storage, is now recognized as a complex tissue with multiple resident cell populations that actively collaborate in response to diverse local and systemic metabolic, thermal, and inflammatory signals. A key participant in adipose tissue homeostasis that has only recently captured broad scientific attention is the lymphatic vasculature. The lymphatic system’s role in lipid trafficking and mediating inflammation makes it a natural…
- Elevated magnetic resonance imaging measures of adipose tissue deposition in women with breast cancer treatment-related lymphedemaby Rachelle Crescenzi on 23 de outubro de 2021 at 10:00

- Unique functions for Notch4 in murine embryonic lymphangiogenesisby Ajit Muley on 19 de outubro de 2021 at 10:00
In mice, embryonic dermal lymphatic development is well understood and used to study gene functions in lymphangiogenesis. Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that modulates cell fate decisions, which has been shown to both inhibit and promote dermal lymphangiogenesis. Here, we demonstrate distinct roles for Notch4 signaling versus canonical Notch signaling in embryonic dermal lymphangiogenesis. Actively growing embryonic dermal lymphatics expressed NOTCH1, NOTCH4, and DLL4…
- Lipedema in a male patient: report of a rare case – management and review of the literatureby Mattis Bertlich on 18 de outubro de 2021 at 10:00
Objective: Lipedema is a relatively common yet debilitating and often misdiagnosed lipodystrophy that mainly affects females. Very little is known about the etiology and pathophysiology of the disease. However, due to its high preference for female patients, hormonal factors may contribute to the pathogenesis.

- Choroid plexus perfusion in sickle cell disease and moyamoya vasculopathy: Implications for glymphatic flowby Skylar E Johnson on 28 de abril de 2021 at 10:00
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid exchange have been shown to increase following pharmacologically-manipulated increases in cerebral arterial pulsatility, consistent with arterial pulsatility improving CSF circulation along perivascular glymphatic pathways. The choroid plexus (CP) complexes produce CSF, and CP activity may provide a centralized indicator of perivascular flow. We tested the primary hypothesis that elevated cortical cerebral blood volume and flow, present in sickle…
