Correlation between F-18 FDG FP-CIT and clinical findings in patients with Parkinsons disease
Conclusions Though striatal volume computed from F-18 FP-CIT PET using occipital lobe as a reference area decreased as the duration of Parkinson’s disease increased, the degree of correlation was weak. There was no statistically significant correlation between the PET parameters and UPDRS. Further studies are needed to determine how to best utilize quantitative F-18 FP-CIT PET in Parkinson’s disease.

Evaluation of ECG-gated 11 Cacetate PET for measuring left ventricular volumes, mass, and myocardial external efficiency
Conclusions Although analysis-related improvements in accuracy are recommended, LV geometry estimated from ECG-gated [11C]acetate PET correlate excellently with CMR and can indeed be used to evaluate MEE.

CT angiography collateral scoring: Correlation with DWI infarct size in proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke within 12h onset
Conclusions In patients with major acute MCA occlusion strokes, CTA collateral grading is significantly correlated with admission DWI size. This finding may be relevant for clinical practice and helpful for guiding treatment decision and predicting clinical outcome.

Safety of vasodilator stress myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with elevated cardiac biomarkers
Conclusion In the setting of elevated troponin, serious complications associated with either exercise or vasodilator stress testing appear to be relatively rare with no increased risk attributable to a particular vasodilator agent.

Development of a Two-layer Dynamic Cardiac Phantom with a Double Pump.
CONCLUSION: In our dynamic cardiac phantom, different movements could be induced in the myocardial wall by freely changing the stroke ratio. These results suggest that the use of this phantom can realize technical evaluation that presumes various clinical conditions. PMID: 26769601 [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.

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]

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.

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. ...

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.
