Glucagonlike Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly-Benefits for Glucose Control and Weight Loss with Side Effects of Delaying Gastric Emptying
This article discusses GLP-1 RAs and their effects on gastric emptying, gastric food retention, and gastroparesis. This article highlights how physicians should be attuned to the gastric side effects of these popular therapeutic agents for blood glucose control in people with diabetes and for weight loss and weight management in obese patients.PMID:38443105 | DOI:10.2967/jnmt.123.266800 (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology)

The Efficacy of Radiolabeling the Albumin in Egg Whites with < sup > 99m < /sup > Tc-Sulfur Colloid
Conclusion: The results from this experiment showed that the method of mixing the 99mTc-SC with liquid egg whites before microwave cooking has higher binding efficacy than when adding 99mTc-SC onto already cooked egg whites. These results highlight the importance of following the standardized protocol for the meal preparation of a gastric emptying study.PMID:38443106 | DOI:10.2967/jnmt.123.266794 (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology)

Gastric Emptying Studies in Pediatrics: A Cincinnati Children's Hospital Experience
J Nucl Med Technol. 2024 Mar 5;52(1):40-45. doi: 10.2967/jnmt.123.266857.ABSTRACTGastric emptying studies are routinely performed in many nuclear medicine departments; however, there are many different techniques used to perform the procedure across the country. Creating consistency in clinical practice will aid gastroenterologists in diagnosing and treating illnesses associated with abnormalities related to gastric emptying. In 2017, Cincinnati Children's Hospital adopted adult standards for pediatric gastric emptying studies that included a standard meal along with imaging over the course of 4 h. Gastric emptying studies...
