Central obesity is associated with insulin resistance through factors that are not fully understood. We studied the effects of three different isocaloric diets on body fat distribution, sensitivity, and peripheral adiponectin gene expression.Eleven volunteers, offspring obese type 2 diabetic patients abdominal deposition, were studied. These subjects considered resistant as indicated by Matsuda index values <4 after an oral glucose tolerance test, they maintained A1C <6.5% without...
The aim of this study was to assess the physical performance a new PET/CT system, Discovery IQ with 5-ring detector blocks. <b>Methods:</b> Performance measured using National Electrical Manufacturers Association NU2-2012 methodology. Image quality extended by accounting for different acquisition parameters (lesion-to-background ratios [8:1, 4:1, and 2:1] times) reconstruction algorithms (VUE-point HD [VPHD], VPHD point-spread-function modeling [VPHD-S], Q.Clear). Tomographic also assessed...
Splenectomy is considered the second-line of treatment in patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) whom glucocorticoids have failed. Some do not respond to splenectomy or they postoperative complications. Based on our previous experience using kinetic and scintigraphic parameters, we did a retrospective study aim comparing all these parameters as means predicting success persistent ITP. Forty-one consecutive ITP refractory prednisone, who had been splenectomized, were...
Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate if integrating whole-body PET/CT with CT colonography (PET/CTC) improves the preoperative diagnosis obstructive colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods We prospectively included 47 consecutive patients (18 women and 29 men; mean age, 71 ± 14 years) suspected having CRC by optical colonoscopy, which not completed due masses. To perform PET/CTC, a small caliber Foley catheter inserted distend colon CO 2 insufflations. Polyps measuring 10 mm or larger were...
Prostate cancer recurrence following primary treatment poses a significant clinical challenge, particularly when detected through biochemical at low PSA levels. Conventional imaging modalities often fail to localize the disease this early stage. PSMA PET has demonstrated superior sensitivity in detecting recurrent lesions, even patients with PSA. Concurrently, liquid biopsy, analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), offers minimally invasive approach for monitoring disease. There is scarce evidence...
