PET/MRI Assessment of Acute Cardiac Inflammation 1 Month After Left-Sided Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy
Conclusion: Myocardial 18F-FDG uptake and functional MRI, including stroke volume and ECVs, were sensitive to changes at 1 mo after breast cancer RT, with findings suggesting an acute cardiac inflammatory response to RT.PMID:37192822 | DOI:10.2967/jnmt.122.264960

64Cu-Labeled Divalent Cystine Knot Peptide for Imaging Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques
Conclusion: 64Cu-NOTA-3-4A demonstrates specific accumulation in carotid atherosclerotic plaques in which macrophage infiltration and angiogenesis are responsible for elevated integrin αvβ3 levels. Therefore, 64Cu-NOTA-3-4A may demonstrate clinical utility as a PET probe for atherosclerosis imaging or for the evaluation of therapies used to treat atherosclerosis.

Left atrial enlargement increases the risk of major adverse cardiac events independent of coronary vasodilator capacity
Conclusion LAE and reduced CFR are related but distinct cardiovascular adaptations to atherogenic risk factors. LAE is a risk marker for MACE independent of clinical factors and left ventricular volumes; individuals with LAE may be at risk of MACE despite normal coronary vascular function.

Pathological Laughing: Brain SPECT Findings
We present the case of a 40-year-old man consulting for uncontrollable episodes of laughing related to emotional lability and not systematically linked to feelings of happiness. Seven months earlier he had presented a pontine ischemic stroke related to an occlusion of the basilar and left vertebral arteries. No epileptic activity or new MRI brain lesions were found. Brain perfusion SPECT performed showed marked hypoperfusion in the right frontal inferior and temporoinsular regions, suggesting a diaschisis phenomenon caused by pontine lesions and highlighted laughing regulation pathways. The patient was successfully treated...

Spatiotemporal PET Imaging of Dynamic Metabolic Changes After Therapeutic Approaches of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, Neuronal Stem Cells, and a Chinese Patent Medicine in Stroke
Conclusion: Spatiotemporal PET imaging with 18F-FDG demonstrated dynamic metabolic and functional recovery after iPSCs or NSCs combined with QKL in a rat model of cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury. iPSCs or NSCs combined with Chinese medicine QKL seemed to be a better therapeutic approach than these stem cells used individually.

Study of the lipidemic profile of diabetic patients. Negative correlation of cholesterol levels of diabetes type I patients with serum amylase concentration.
Authors: Eleftheriou P, Tseka E, Varaga E, Nasiou M, Sampanis C, Zografou I, Oulorgia J, Damontsidou K, Zaimi T, Markou HI, Varsamidis K, Petrou C, Limberaki E, Ganou CJ Abstract Diabetes Mellitus type I (DM1) and II (DM2) share the common characteristic of high blood glucose concentration and the health complications resulting from uncontrolled hyperglycemia such as hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular problems, stroke, ketoacidosis, kidney failure and blindness but have different etiology. DM1 is practically an autoimmune disease. Genetic susceptibility together with environmental factors leads to disease development. ...

Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Scintigraphic Demonstration With Correlated Cross-Sectional Imaging
We present the case of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome occurring in a 44-year-old woman with a recent history of coronary artery bypass surgery. Postoperatively, she was urgently readmitted for a left middle cerebral artery stroke, and during workup she was found with a left ventricular thrombus on echocardiogram. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome. Multimodality imaging, including bone and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, CT, and MR, during her hospitalization, depicted all the characteristic features constituting the catastrophic form of antiphospholipid syndrome, also known as Asherson syndrome.

The role of copeptin in patients with subarachnoid haemorrage.
CONCLUSION: Patients with a gradual increase of copeptin values showed to have bad prognosis of the disease. Four with extremely high copeptin values passed away, while patients with a gradual decrease or a normal amount of copeptin values had good prognosis. It is supported that copeptin values are a reliable prognostic factor in monitoring patients with intracranial haemorrhage. PMID: 26665233 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Magnetic resonance imaging versus transcranial ultrasound in early identification of cerebral injuries in neonatal encephalopathy
Conclusion TCUS is an effective screening tool in detecting the etiology of NE in suspected cases; it is sometimes crucial in critically sick neonates; however, early MRI is mandatory as it can detect precisely the extent of brain injury compared with TCUS alone.
