Annotating the Role of < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG PET/CT in Fibromatoses: A Benign Masquerader of Malignancies-Is It Really an Advantageous Tool?
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 May;58(3):140-146. doi: 10.1007/s13139-024-00846-5. Epub 2024 Feb 14.ABSTRACTFibromatoses are a heterogeneous group of benign proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts which have a high predilection for recurrence and local invasion, especially deep fibromatoses or desmoid fibromatosis. 18F-FDG PET/CT, the workhorse of oncological imaging in nuclear medicine, can be employed to figure out the nature and aggressiveness of the lesions and various sites of involvement and to monitor treatment response to systemic therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors in case of deep or desmoid fibromatoses wh...

Discordant Molecular Imaging Findings with 2-[ < sup > 18 < /sup > F]FDG and [ < sup > 68 < /sup > Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT in a Patient with Both Bladder and Prostate Cancer
We present a case of double primary cancer involving the bladder and prostate, where the prostatic primary showed intense [68Ga]Ga-PSMA uptake with non-avid skeletal and pulmonary metastases, which showed intense 2-[18F]FDG uptake, thus showing discordance due to different clonal origins.PMID:38633286 | PMC:PMC11018560 | DOI:10.1007/s13139-024-00839-4 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

First Local Experience of Intra-Cavitary Yttrium-90 Citrate Colloid Irradiation via Ommaya Reservoir for Refractory Cystic Craniopharyngioma: a Case Report
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 May;58(3):129-139. doi: 10.1007/s13139-024-00838-5. Epub 2024 Jan 16.ABSTRACTCraniopharyngioma is uncommon benign intracranial tumour that can be cured by surgical resection followed by conventional radiotherapy. However, its anatomical localisation makes the treatment hazardous or impossible. This case report aims to discuss the first local experience of using beta-emitting Yttrium-90 radioisotope in treating a patient with refractory cystic craniopharyngioma. A 43-year-old male who has underlying refractory cystic craniopharyngioma complicated with visual impairment and panhypopituitarism was r...

Impacts of pro-inflammatory cytokines variant on cardiometabolic profile and premature coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
J Cell Mol Med. 2024 Apr;28(8):e18311. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.18311.ABSTRACTInterleukin-6 (IL-6), a pivotal pro-inflammatory cytokine, is closely linked to vascular wall thickening and atherosclerotic lesion. Since serum IL-6 levels are largely determined by the genetic variant in IL-6, this study was conducted to investigate whether the IL-6 variant impacts cardiometabolic profile and the risk of premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). PubMed, Cochrane Library, Central, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from May 13, 2022 to June 28, 2023. In total, 40 stud...

Same-day post-therapy imaging with a new generation whole-body digital SPECT/CT in assessing treatment response to [ < sup > 177 < /sup > Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
CONCLUSION: We successfully implemented same-day post-therapy SPECT/CT after [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 infusions. Quantitation of 1-2 h post-therapy SPECT/CT images is a promising method for assessing treatment response. However, the approach is currently limited by its suboptimal detection of small tumor lesions and the necessity of incorporating a third-cycle SPECT/CT to mitigate the effects of any potential treatment-related flare-up. Further investigation in a larger patient cohort and prospective validation is essential to confirm these findings and to explore the role of SPECT/CT as a potential adjunct to PSMA PET/CT in man...
