New imaging techniques have been introduced to assess the extent and severity of disease in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. The aim our study was compare newer modalities—such as <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT, <sup>99m</sup>Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (<sup>99m</sup>Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy, MRI—to their relative contribution evaluation MM patients at diagnosis. <b>Methods:</b> Thirty-three newly diagnosed with were prospectively studied. Diagnosis staging made according standard criteria. All...
The work aims to address the discussion on beauty in a legal dimension linked realisation and development of human personality society. In this dimension, analysis starts from art. 9 Italian Constitution, which recognises protection interest - individuals community fruition cultural heritage landscape, order analyse assets not their materiality nor consideration public or private ownership but relation function they perform. A particular perspective, that heritage, does aim privilege static...
The aim of this study was to compare the relative contribution 18F-FDG PET/CT, 99mTc-MIBI, and MRI in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) multiple myeloma (MM) patients.Thirty-three newly diagnosed MM patients had been evaluated a previous by spine pelvis reporting focal lesions diffuse bone marrow involvement. Twenty-seven were then subjected mean follow-up period 58 months, whereas 6 lost.18F-FDG positive 26, 24, 22 patients, respectively, showing involvement 12, 21, 17...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role F-FDG PET/CT performed after surgery but before radioiodine therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.FDG off l-thyroxine 60 newly diagnosed cancer patients. Clinical and hematological evaluation as well high-resolution neck ultrasound were performed. All underwent a complete follow-up (range, 6-67 months; mean [SD], 31.7 [20.6] months). date recurrence or most recent office visit recorded. Progression-free survival (PFS) is primary...
Background: To assess the long-term prognostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) undergoing empiric radioiodine (RAI) therapy due to raising values thyroglobulin (Tg). Methods: Forty-nine histological diagnosis DTC (31 papillary and 18 follicular carcinoma) follow-up for a mean period 7.9 ± 5 years after RAI were retrospectively analyzed. Results: FDG-PET/CT was negative 15...
Background: A basic tenet of palliative care is interprofessional collaboration. Palliative educators and practitioners lead the way in responding to Institute Medicine's (2003) challenge transform educational health systems through Through exemplary commitment collaboration, a college's academic leader, collaboration with Department Chairs Directors nursing allied professions, can illustrate analyze processes development simulated case study combat veteran traumatic brain injury. Methods:...
Metastases to pituitary gland, suprasellar region or skull base from endometrial carcinoma are an extremely rare occurrence. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with metastasis sellar/suprasellar revealed by F-FDG PET/CT and confirmed subsequent CT MRI brain. This highlights usefulness whole-body imaging methodology such as in detection distant and/or atypical sites therefore being help guiding towards correct diagnosis.
Leptomeningeal infiltration of the brain or spinal cord by neoplastic cells may occur as complication solid hematopoietic tumors such non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Previously rare, this event is becoming increasingly common newer therapies can prolong survival but not achieve therapeutic concentration in central nervous system. Although prognosis poor, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment lead to prolonged and/or improvement quality life. We report a case 69-year-old man with leptomeningeal...
Staging and monitoring of multiple myeloma (MM) is mainly based on monoclonal component quantification; the absence such a parameter renders difficult follow up patients with nonsecretory MM (nsMM). In this study our aims were to determine specificity sensitivity Tc99m-sestaMIBI scintigraphy at diagnosis during nsMM patients. Nine prospectively studied treatment for mean time 33 months (range: 12-65+). (MIBI) was compared conventional imaging (CI: X ray CAT or NMR details) up. At diagnosis,...
Background. Oxidation and inflammation are linked processes playing an important role in the development progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). The relation between oxidation markers with myocardial ischemia is still controversial. We assessed association paraoxonase (PON) polymorphisms (rs854560, rs662, rs7493) high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels stress-induced patients suspected CAD. Materials methods. Patients (n = 203; 78 men; mean age 59 ± 10 years), CAD underwent on same...
