Necrosis of the tongue as a  clinical manifestation of giant cell arteritis
Inn Med (Heidelb). 2023 Oct 20. doi: 10.1007/s00108-023-01607-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn 83-year-old male patient presented due to a 3-week history of swelling of the tongue with tongue pain on eating, yellowish plaques, and a gray-brown lesion in the anterior portion of the tongue. Sudden loss of vision in the left eye and temporal headache occurred 3 days before presentation. Due to elevated C‑reactive protein, sonography of the supraaortic arteries as well as positron emission tomography/computed tomography was performed. Imaging revealed inflammation of the great arteries as well as a halo sign on ultrasound...

Metabolische Ursachen von Dyspnoe
Ther Umsch. 2023 Aug;80(6):280-283.ABSTRACTEndocrinological or metabolic disorders often affect a wide variety of functions of the organism. This can also include an impairment of respiratory function. Diabetic ketoacidosis as a result of insulin deficiency is a typical metabolic acidosis, which the body tries to compensate by an increased exhalation of carbon dioxide. This leads to the classic picture of "Kussmaul" breathing. Due to the increased use of SGLT2 inhibitors, which can reduce the otherwise typical hyperglycemia and thus complicate diagnosis, the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis has remained an important dif...

Radiologie (Heidelb). 2023 Oct 18. doi: 10.1007/s00117-023-01220-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Ultrasound, the imaging method of choice to evaluate abnormalities of the testes and the scrotum, provides accurate anatomic details and allows the assessment of perfusion using color Doppler and power Doppler. Ultrasound represents a rapid and reliable procedure which in most cases leads to a conclusive diagnosis.DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: The three most common conditions in the clinical picture of acute scrotum are testicular torsion, torsion of the testicular appendages and inflammatory changes of the testis and th...

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence for Dosimetry of Radiopharmaceutical Therapies
Nuklearmedizin. 2023 Oct 12. doi: 10.1055/a-2179-6872. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoutine clinical dosimetry along with radiopharmaceutical therapies is key for future treatment personalization. However, dosimetry is considered complex and time-consuming with various challenges amongst the required steps within the dosimetry workflow. The general workflow for image-based dosimetry consists of quantitative imaging, the segmentation of organs and tumors, fitting of the time-activity-curves, and the conversion to absorbed dose. This work reviews the potential and advantages of the use of artificial intelligence to improve ...
