PET/CT superior to MRI for detecting spinal bone metastases
Gallium-68 (Ga-68) DOTATATE PET/CT appears to be the best approach for detecting spinal bone metastases in patients with certain neuroendocrine tumors, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD. In a study of patients with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), the group found the approach was superior to F-18 FDG-PET/CT, MRI of the spine, whole-body CT, and whole-body MRI. The finding is significant regarding efforts to prevent serious complications in these patients, noted lead author Abhishek Jha, MD, and colleagues. “Bone metastases weaken and destroy skeletal tissue...

U.S. government in hot seat for response to growing cow flu outbreak
In early March, veterinarian Barb Peterson noticed the dairy cows she cared for on a Texas farm looked sick and produced less milk, and that it was off-color and thick. Birds and cats on the farm were dying, too. Peterson contacted Kay Russo at Novonesis, a company that helps farms keep their animals healthy and productive. “I said, you know, I may sound like a crazy, tinfoil hat–wearing person,” Russo, also a veterinarian, recalled at a 5 April public talk sponsored by her company. “But this sounds a bit like influenza to me.” She was right, as Peterson and Russo soon learned. On 19 March, birds on the Tex...

News at a glance: Global coral bleaching, preventing ship strikes on whales, and detecting prostate cancer
CLIMATE SCIENCE Hot oceans prompt world’s worst coral bleaching Coral reefs are on track for unprecedented damage from oceans that overheated during the past year, prompting government scientists to declare a global bleaching event for the fourth time in the past 25 years. At least 54% of the world’s reefs, in 53 countries, have been hit by bleaching since 2023, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the International Coral Reef Initiative announced on 15 April.
