TL;DR: This work investigated lymphatic changes in diabetic rats and found that the lymphatic system plays an important role in the transport of particles and defensive responses.

TL;DR: The use of antibiotics in the treatment of established infections for inhibiting or abolishing the growth of microorganism is very common, and prescriptions of generic drugs continue rare, probably due to the physicians' resistance to prescribe this kind of medication.

TL;DR: Intestinal obstruction and ischemia in rats is a relevant model for the in vivo study of mesenteric microcirculatory dysfunction and the occurrence of bacterial translocation, which parallels the events implicated in multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) and death.

TL;DR: Zileuton, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, blocked the decrease in the number of circulating leukocytes induced by crotoxin and also abolished the changes observed in leukocyte-endothelial interactions, suggesting the involvement of lipoxygen enzyme-derived mediators in the effects of the toxin.

TL;DR: It is indicated that lymphatic regeneration in an incisional wound may be significantly modulated by dexamethasone, aspirin and a micronized purified flavonoid fraction, and these results call the attention for the possibility to pharmacologically stimulate the recovery of a lymphatic failure due to a traumatic event, or to inhibit its function in order to limit the lymphatic spread of cytokines or neoplastic cells.
