Yellow nail syndrome: treatment of lymphedema using low pressure compression.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Studies of lymphatic function often employ collecting lymphatic vessels that exhibit large-amplitude, spontaneous contractions. Data from such preparations have been analyzed using cardiac pump analogies that require accurate determination of vascular dimensions, including external (OD) and internal (ID) dia...
