Lymphatics in human lymphatic filariasis: in vitro models of parasite-induced lymphatic remodeling.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is commonly used in the assessment and monitoring of lymphedema. This study investigated electrodes as a source of variability that could impact the accuracy of BIS in the clinic and determined if Ag/AgCl electrocardiograph (ECG) electrodes could be used as an alternative to i...
