To investigate the prognostic value of posttreatment
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with relapse occurring in about 70% of advanced cases poor prognosis. Fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose PET/CT (18F-FDGPET/CT) specific radiological imaging used to assess recurrence. Some intensity-based and volume-based PET parameters, maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) total lesion glycolysis (TLG), are indicated have a correlation treatment response. The aim our study...
Abstract Background and aim High dose brachytherapy using a non sealed 188 Re-resin (Rhenium-SCT®, Oncobeta® GmbH, Munich, Germany) is treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy safety single application Rhenium-SCT® in NMSC. Materials method Fifty consecutive patients (15F, 35 M, range age 56–97, mean 81) showing 60 histologically proven NMSCs were enrolled treated with between October 2017 January 2020. Lesions located on...
Unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) of the mandible, or Hypercondylia, is a pathological condition that determines an abnormal growth affected condyle.Bone SPECT with Tc99m-diphosphonates successful tool in diagnosis UCH. EANM guidelines also suggest use 18F-NaF PET/CT, though it leads to higher radiation exposure.As UCH patients are young, we aimed develop low dose 18F-Fluoride PET/CT protocol and compare standard injected activity scan, assess if image quality remains unchanged.We...
Background The presence of residual disease after initial treatment in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) influences prognosis and impacts patient management. To date, few data exist on the value fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG)-PET/computed tomography (CT) SCLC at restaging. Therefore, restaging patients with SCLC, we aimed to (a) evaluate prognostic yielded by [18F]FDG-PET/CT (b) assess diagnostic agreement between contrast-enhanced computed (ceCT). Patients methods From a multicenter...
BACKGROUND Chylomicronemia syndrome is a metabolic condition characterized by severe fasting hypertrigliceridemia (≥1000 mg/dL) and other clinical features including chronic abdominal pain recurrent acute pancreatitis. In patients with or pancreatitis, plasma exchange (PEx) indicated for the treatment of disease prevention recurrence. The use instead albumin as replacement fluid has been suggested its putative ability to replace deficient enzyme possibly leading better improvement. CASE...
Background Intravenous drug users (IDUs) have a high risk of developing skin and soft tissue infections such as erysipelas, abscesses, less frequently necrotizing fasciitis (NF) or gas gangrene. Rarely, the cause infection is microorganisms residing in oral cavity can lead to life-threatening infections.
Only about 1% of all head and neck lateral or paramedian cancers described in the scientific literature shows, staging, contralateral cervical adenopathy without ipsilateral pathological involvement lymph nodes.This case is one them, which 18F-FDG PET/CT scan confirmed by pathology findings, has correctly identified metastatic disease foci.To date, not recommended cancer staging. However, use staging can define possible foci, clarify c.e. CT suspicious findings and, some cases, change TNM...
11C-choline PET/CT is a widely-used tool for the diagnostic of prostate cancer (PCa). In literature, great variability local relapse (LR) detection rate reported. The aim this study to provide positivity criteria LR in patients who had surgery PCa and presented specific antigen (PSA) failure.Sixty radically treated presenting PSA failure were retrospectively analysed. Two Nuclear Medicine Physicians revised scans defined by consensus if even mild focal uptake was present bed (PB)...
An innovative epidermal surface treatment based on 188Re has been recently developed for squamous cell carcinomas of the skin. The planning and delivery requires an accurate knowledge source activity thus proper calibration meters. However, reference sources purposes are not always available, as in case short-lived radionuclides. aim this work is to determine factors by comparison measurements with independently calibrated HPGe spectrometer. Calibration were experimentally determined two...

Objectives: High cystatin C(CysC) levels are associated with impaired cardiovascular outcome. Whether CysC independently related to the atherosclerosis burden is still controversial. Methods: We enrolled 31 non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous intervention. Patients were divided into 2 groups on basis of median value serum CysC. Using high group as a dependent variable, univariable and multivariable analyses used evaluate association between three...
