Article Synopsis
- Anorexia Nervosa (AN) leads to significant issues in bone health, characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and poor bone microarchitecture compared to normal-weight controls.
- The study utilized two algorithms, TBSTT and TBSBMI, to analyze bone texture and determine that both were significantly lower in AN patients.
- Findings revealed that AN patients exhibited not only reduced BMD and soft tissue thickness but also alterations in bone turnover markers, indicating an uncoupling of bone metabolism.
Understanding which patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative or -low metastatic breast cancer (MBC) benefit from HER2-targeted strategies is urgently needed. We assessed the whole-body heterogeneity of HER2 expression on Zr-trastuzumab PET (HER2 PET) and the diagnostic performance of HER2 PET in a large series of patients, including HER2-negative and -low MBC. In the IMPACT-MBC study, patients with newly diagnosed and nonrapidly progressive MBC of all subtypes were included.

There is little evidence for its use to reverse delirium following second generation antipsychotic exposure. The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and effectiveness of physostigmine in reversing delirium from second generation antipsychotic exposure.

Common methods, like the 'hot spot', or visual approach suffer from oversimplification and subjectivity. Using perfusion of the complete lesion potentially offers an objective and accurate alternative.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA 78-year-old woman with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was referred for an 18 F-FDG PET/CT to evaluate therapy response after 6 cycles of R-mini-CHOP. A new 18 F-FDG accumulation was noticed medial in the upper part of the right lower leg, spreading along the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. The shaft-bow-looking curvature, arch sign, of 18 F-FDG revealed a fluid collection on CT.
