Biomimetic Dp44mT-nanoparticles selectively induce apoptosis in Cu-loaded glioblastoma resulting in potent growth inhibition
Biomaterials. 2022 Aug 28;289:121760. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121760. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSelective targeting of elevated copper (Cu) in cancer cells by chelators to induce tumor-toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be a promising approach in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Previously, the Cu chelator di-2-pyridylketone-4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (Dp44mT) attracted much interest due to its potent anti-tumor activity mediated by the formation of a highly redox-active Cu-Dp44mT complex. However, its translational potential was limited by the development of toxicity in murine models...

Diagnostic value of regional myocardial flow reserve measurements using Rubidium-82 PET
ConclusionsThe use of regional MFR instead of global MFR is recommended as it improves the diagnostic value of Rb-82 PET in the detection of oCAD. (Source: The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging)

Hemodynamic Response and Safety of Vasodilator Stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Patients with Permanent Pacemakers or Implantable Cardioverter ‐Defibrillators
ConclusionThis data supports the safety of vasodilator stress CMR with promising diagnostic quality images in patients with CMR conditional ICDs and PPMs. Despite a near uniform tachycardic response to regadenoson in the SPECT environment, high rates of asynchronous pacing during vasodilator stress CMR did not result in competitive pacing or adverse arrhythmic events. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and confirm the diagnostic and prognostic performance of stress CMR in these individuals.This article is protected by copyright.

Buccal caffeine strips for reversal of adverse symptoms of vasodilator stress
ConclusionBuccal caffeine strips are a safe, well tolerated, and effective initial strategy to reverse adverse effects of vasodilator stress in the minority of patients who request it. Buccal caffeine alone or with IV rescue caffeine was highly effective in reversing adverse effects and was free of major adverse clinical events. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)
