Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether F18-choline (FCH) PET/CT can effectively replace Tc99m-sestaMIBI (MIBI) SPECT/CT for preoperative imaging of parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
  • It involves a randomized trial across multiple centers in France, enrolling adults eligible for surgery from November 2019 to May 2022, excluding those with prior parathyroid surgery or certain genetic conditions.
  • The primary goal is to compare the success rates of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy guided by these imaging techniques, focusing on patients achieving normal calcium levels one month after surgery.

β-Lactamase enzymes have attracted substential medical attention from researchers and clinicians because of their clinical, ecological, and evolutionary interest. Here, we present a comprehensive online database of β-lactamase enzymes. The current database is manually curated and incorporates the primary amino acid sequences, closest structural information in an external structure database (the Protein Data Bank [PDB]) and the functional profiles and phylogenetic trees of the four molecular classes (A, B, C, and D) of β-lactamases.
