Objective Large acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) sometimes leaves extensive ischemic damage despite timely and successful primary angioplasty. This clinical picture of good recanalization with incomplete reperfusion represents a model to assess the reparative potential locally administered cell therapy. Thus, we conducted randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating effect intracoronary administration CD133+ stem cells on blood flow function in this setting. Methods...

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between [ 18 F]‐fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG)‐positron emission tomography/CT FDG‐PET/CT) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) in patients with recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Methods Forty‐two DTC negative Tg antibodies were included study. All underwent 131 I therapy due an increasing a corresponding posttreatment whole body scan. FDG‐PET/CT scans then performed on all patients, measured concurrently,...

The role of tumour metabolic and proliferative indices in predicting non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients' prognosis is unclear. We correlated fluorine 18 ((18) F)-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) value Ki67 index to survival, taking into account heterogeneity, disease characteristics genetic aberrations.A series 383 NSCLCs was arranged tissue microarrays staining analysed by immunohistochemistry. maximum standardized uptake (SUV(MAX) ) detected (18)...

Objective We have previously observed thyroid dysfunction, i.e. atypical thyroiditis (painless thyrotoxicosis associated with non-thyroidal illness syndrome), in patients severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 disease (Covid-19). This study aimed to analyse the evolution of dysfunction over time. Methods One hundred eighty-three consecutive hospitalised for Covid-19 without known history were studied at hospital admission (baseline). Survivors offered 12-month longitudinal follow-up...

Purpose of the Report This article aims to explore prognostic role 18 F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients. Patients and Methods One hundred eighty pathological patients were retrospectively reviewed. Semiquantitative analysis FDG tumor uptake was performed with TrueD software on Siemens Leonardo workstation. SUV mean MTV calculated using threshold 41% max ; total lesion glycolysis (TLG) as product MTV. Correlation evaluated Spearman correlation...

Abstract Purpose Positron emission tomography (PET) with amyloid tracers (amy-PET) allows the quantification of pathological deposition in brain tissues, including white matter (WM). Here, we evaluate amy-PET uptake WM lesions (WML) and normal-appearing (NAWM) patients Alzheimer’s disease (AD) non-AD type dementia. Methods Thirty-three cognitively impaired subjects underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Aβ 1-42 (Aβ) determination cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amy-PET. Twenty-three...
