The aims of this study are to report the prevalence delirium on admission unit in patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 infection, identify factors associated delirium, and evaluate association between in-hospital mortality.

The aim was to evaluate the incremental diagnostic rate of F-18 fluoro-fluorodeoxygulose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG-PET/CT) in patients with negative I-131 whole body scans and high Tg levels. secondary end points were correlations between FDG-PET/CT positive results levels comparison accuracy "on-therapy" suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) those TSH levels.We studied 52 who had undergone total thyroidectomy remnant ablation; they (average = 156...
Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent in European women with nearly 30% of patients eventually developing metastases. Neuroendocrine differentiation a rare event, but overexpression somatostatin receptors BC has been reported many studies.A patient liver metastases from was treated peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Computed tomography scan and biochemical examinations showed clear response to therapy.PRRT may be useful metastatic patients.Das Mammakarzinom ist die häufigste...
Metastatic pancreatic cancer still represent one of the most deadly disease for which there are few therapeutic options, especially in second line and beyond setting. Nabpaclitaxel plus gemcitabine activity was demonstrated first setting, but no clear evidence suggesting its use after that. We report a retrospective data analysis 23 patients who received nab-paclitaxel treatment at our Oncology Department. observed significant clinical benefit (43,5%) with median overall survival 5 months....
Prostate cancer (PC) is usually characterized by an excellent prognosis, largely due to little biological aggressiveness and the power of hormonal deprivation therapy. In spite these favorable characteristics, however, a significant quota patients does not respond androgen therapy (ADT) develop progressive disease. Castration-resistant prostate (CRPC) defined disease progression in ADT. This may show any combination rise serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), clinical radiological...
Sunitinib malate (Sutent™; Pfizer Inc., New York, N.Y., USA) is a small molecule kinase inhibitor with activity against number of tyrosine receptors, including vascular endothelial growth factor stem-cell receptor, and platelet-derived receptors alpha beta. Sunitinib, registered for the treatment renal cell carcinoma gastrointestinal stromal tumors, has recently been approved patients advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET), paraganglioma...
Purpose: Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) has been used to diagnose bronchial carcinoids (BC) and is a valuable tool for accurate staging of BC. The aim this study was evaluate the role SRS in restaging BC following patients after treatment. Methods: Thirty-one (18 male, 13 female) with confirmed who were referred during last 7 years included. Patients examined via chest radiograph (12 studies), or abdominal computed tomography (CT; 28 scans), magnetic resonance imaging (2 liver...
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) for detection site unknown primary neuroendocrine neoplasms in patients whom clinical examination and conventional radiological imaging had failed do so. From 1996 2000, 36 were referred with gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) tumours. In these patients, no clinical, or endoscopic diagnostic modalities been able identify tumour. Twenty-nine liver metastases. Of others, one skin lymph node metastases,...
Abstract Purpose To assess the presence and pattern of incidental interstitial lung alterations suspicious COVID-19 on fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) ([ 18 F]FDG PET/CT) in asymptomatic oncological patients during period active a country with high prevalence virus. Methods This is multi-center retrospective observational study involving 59 Italian centers. We retrospectively reviewed pneumonia detected COVID (between March 16 27, 2020)...
The aim of this retrospective multicentric study was to investigate the diagnostic performance, prognostic value and impact 18F-FDG PET/CT on treatment decision-making in patients with suspected recurrent vulvar cancer (VC). Sixty-three affected by VC performed 18F-FDG-PET/CT for restaging purposes case clinical and/or radiological recurrence. Histopatology results if available clinical-imaging follow-up at least 12 months were considered as reference standard. accuracy investigated....
