Potential Effects Immunomodulators on Probiotics in COVID-19 Preventing Infection in the Future. A Narrative Review by Muhammad Luthfi Adnan, Miranti D. Dewi

“…The results showed that probiotic bacteria have immunomodulatory activity that can increase immunity against pathogens by regulating the immune system through modulation of intestinal microbiota and interactions with the lymphatic system in the digestive tract. The ability of the immune system regulation by probiotic bacteria has the effect of increasing the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens that infect the respiratory tract. …”

Five-year Follow-up Outcome of Total Omental Lymph Node Flap Transfer in Primary Lymphedema Patient by Nutcha Yodrabum, MD, Nattanit Poungjantaradej, MD

“…Lymphedemas are caused by the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial space, resulting from lymphatic system obstruction. In recent years, omentum flap transfer has gained popularity as a treatment for lymphedema due to its immunogenic and lymphangiogenic properties, which aid in reducing infection rate and volume. …”
