Investigation of tumor assessment between two PET systems using various indices: comparison between PET/CT and PET/MRI systems
This study aimed to determine the comparability of tumor-uptake indices of 18F-FDG in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) PET/CT and PET/MRI were performed on 55 patients with confirmed primary malignancies. PET/CT preceded PET/MRI in all examinations. Accumulation of 18F-FDG in lesions and normal organs (brain, liver) was measured. Maximum and peak standardized uptake values (SUVs; SUVmax and SUVpeak, respectively), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) with ...

ctDNA-guided adjuvant treatment after radical-intent treatment of metastatic spread from colorectal cancer-the first interim results from the OPTIMISE study
CONCLUSION: The study was proven to be feasible and continues in the planned large-scale phase II trial. Results from the OPTIMISE study will potentially optimize the adjuvant treatment of patients undergoing radical-intent treatment of mCRC, thereby improving survival and reducing chemotherapy-related toxicity.PMID:37738268 | DOI:10.1080/0284186X.2023.2259083

The role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography in the diagnosis and monitoring of large vessel vasculitides - a review article
Am J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2023 Aug 15;13(4):127-135. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIn the last two decades, advancements in positron emission tomography (PET) technology have increased the diagnostic accuracy of patients with large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). Numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been conducted, and patients suspected of having LVV can be diagnosed earlier with 18F-FDG PET. Two subtypes, giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TA), will progress when their response to corticosteroids and enhanced immunosuppression is inadequate. In the majority of patients, disease activity cannot be monit...

Novel technique of detecting inflammatory and osseous changes in the glenohumeral joint associated with patient age and weight using FDG- and NaF-PET imaging
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates the varying effect of limb laterality and BMI on FDG and NaF uptake at the GH joint. Adoption of molecular imaging will require future studies that correlate tracer uptake with relevant medical and illness history as well as degenerative change evident on traditional imaging.PMID:37736491 | PMC:PMC10509288

Quadriceps muscle contraction causes medial patellofemoral ligament elongation by intermeshed fibers of vastus medialis oblique muscle
J Anat. 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1111/joa.13954. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe first aim of this study was to compare the medial patellofemoral length between contracted and relaxed quadriceps muscle and second to assess the importance of the intermeshed vastus medialis oblique fibers. After a priori power analysis (α = 0.05, power [1-β] = 0.95), 35 healthy males aged 18-30 were prospectively examined with a 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner in 10-15° of knee flexion. Two axial MRI sequences (25 s each) were made with relaxed and contracted quadriceps. Two blinded, independent raters measured twice medial p...

Proteus mirabilis: A rare cause of pneumonia, radiologically mimicking malignancy of the lung
CONCLUSION: Mass lesions suspected for malignancy should be managed with involvement of multiple medical disciplines, to ensure correct and timely diagnosis. This is to avoid miss-management.PMID:37736480 | PMC:PMC10509339 | DOI:10.1002/ccr3.7937

Attention-gated U-Net networks for simultaneous axial/sagittal planes segmentation of injured spinal cords
This study proposes a new CNN-based segmentation method in which information is exchanged between two networks analyzing the scans from different planes. Our aim was to develop a robust method for automatic segmentation of the spinal cord in patients having suffered traumatic injuries. The database consisted of 106 sagittal MRI scans from 94 patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries. Our method used an innovative approach where the scans were analyzed in series under the axial and sagittal plane by two different convolutional networks. The results were compared with those of Deepseg 2D from the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT)...

Patients with fibromyalgia in Finnish healthcare center - one-year follow up
CONCLUSION: With these results, we cannot conclude that ÖMPSQ predicts the patient's severity of symptoms. On the contrary, we can conclude that antidepressants and/or psychological therapy might reduce fibromyalgia symptoms for depressed patients with fibromyalgia. Patients with fibromyalgia might benefit from clinical evaluation and modifications to the treatment plan if necessary.PMID:37738389 | DOI:10.1080/02813432.2023.2259960

The impact of intensified staging and combined therapies in locally advanced pancreatic cancer: a secondary analysis of prospective studies
CONCLUSIONS: The use of comprehensive pre-treatment staging, including laparoscopy and 18F-FDG-PET/CT scan, is an effective approach in identifying occult metastatic disease in LAPC patients. Our findings offer valuable insights into accurate staging and treatment efficacy, providing evidence-based support for optimal management strategies in LAPC patients.PMID:37737898 | DOI:10.1097/JS9.0000000000000755

Effect of lactic acid bacteria by different concentrations of copper based on non-target metabolomic analysis
In this study, a strain of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), namely, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CICC 23121 (L23121), was selected as a prebiotic indicator strain to indirectly assess the effects of food-limited Cu (II) concentrations (issued by Tolerance limit of copper in foods in 1994) on the functions of intestinal microbes. We used non-target metabolomics, automatic growth curve detector, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to investigate the effects of Cu (II) on L23121. The study revealed shows that the 50% minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC50) of Cu (II) for most la...

Can the Acetabular Labrum Be Reconstructed With a Meniscal Allograft? An In Vivo Pig Model
CONCLUSION: In a pig model, lateral meniscus allografts fully filled labral defects in labral reconstruction. Regeneration of a fibrocartilage transition zone at the graft-acetabulum interface was observed at 24 weeks.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of an autograft meniscus for labral reconstruction may be a viable option when labral tears are deemed irreparable. Before its clinical implementation, it is imperative to conduct a comparative study involving tendon grafts, which are extensively used in current clinical practice.PMID:37732715 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000002860

Effect of Moderate Versus Vigorous Exercise Intensity on Body Composition in Young Untrained Adults: The Activating Brown Adipose Tissue Through Exercise (ACTIBATE) Randomized Controlled Trial
This report is based on a secondary analysis from the activating brown adipose tissue through exercise (ACTIBATE) single-center unblinded randomized controlled trial. A total of 144 young adults (65.6% women) aged 18-25 years were randomly allocated to three different groups: (a) aerobic + resistance exercise training program based on the international physical activity recommendations at vigorous intensity (Ex-Vigorous group), (b) at moderate intensity (Ex-Moderate group), and (c) control group (no exercise). Body composition outcomes were determined by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner. Both Ex-Vigorous and Ex-M...
