Working primarily with mice, senior author and University of Virginia neuroscience professor Jonathan Kipnis and his group identified a hitherto undetected network of lymphatic vessels in the meninges — the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord — that shuttle fluid and immune cells from the cerebrospinal fluid to the deep cervical lymph nodes in the neck.

Jaleel Miyan, a neurobiologist at the University of Manchester in England who did not participate in this research, stressed the significance of this finding by characterizing the analogy with the lymphatic system as inadequate: «What they have demonstrated is actually far more extensive and important to CSF [cerebrospinal fluid] biology.»

His studies have shown that Schlemm's canal (SC) which is central in ocular fluid homeostasis, hence IOP, and thus is directly relevant to glaucoma, has a novel, specialized phenotype with properties that are a blend of blood and lymphatic endothelia based on expression of marker proteins of each lineage.

His studies revealed that the blood and lymphatic vasculature, fibroblasts, immune cells and the extracellular matrix associated with tumors are abnormal, collectively creating a hostile tumor microenvironment characterized by hypoxia, low pH and high interstitial fluid pressure.

With gentle pressure, in the correct directions, we encourage the lymphatic fluid to move along its pathways and drain into the body.

One way to do this is by performing a systemic drain with the help of gravity — just lie on your back and elevate your extremities above the level of the heart to push lymphatic fluid back into central circulation.

The transport of interstitial fluid, which fills the spaces between cells, and maintaining its balance with circulatory fluids is another function of the lymphatic system.Tiny amounts of plasma migrate through the tiny blood vessels known as capillaries and into the spaces between cells.

The Bellefit corset helps with lymphatic drainage by compressing the abdominal area and decreasing the risk of fluid collection and swelling.

PROM exercises are performed by pushing or pulling on the lower part of the limb to induce flexion or extension in a target joint.26 They are typically performed in patients with stiffness secondary to surgery or in patients unable to walk on their own.27 The benefits of PROM include prevention of joint contracture and soft tissue adaptive shortening, maintenance of mobility between soft tissue layers, reduced pain, enhanced blood and lymphatic flow, and improved synovial fluid production and diffusion.28
