Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness ofPET-CT scans compared to direct laryngoscopy (DL) for diagnosing suspected recurrence of glottic primary squamous cell carcinoma in patients who have undergone larynx preservation protocols.
- - A total of 72 patients with suspicious findings were analyzed, revealing that PET-CT had a sensitivity of 100% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 100%, while DL had a sensitivity of 56.25% and an NPV of 84%.
- - The results suggest that PET-CT scans are highly reliable for ruling out recurrent disease, potentially reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies in patients after larynx preservation.
Recent studies suggest that serotonin reuptake inhibitors are helpful in at least some symptoms of autism. Inositol is a precursor of the second messenger for some serotonin receptors, and has been reported effective in depression, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. However a controlled double-blind crossover trial of inositol 200 mg/kg per day showed no benefit on 9 children with autism.
