Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between lymphoma severity and cardiovascular health, specifically looking at arterial inflammation through FDG uptake in patients with active Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Sixty-two chemotherapy-naïve patients were compared to previously treated lymphoma patients to assess metabolic tumor volume and glycolysis associated with arterial fluoride uptake.
- Results showed significant correlations between disease severity and arterial inflammation, with higher FDG uptake in active lymphoma patients compared to controls, particularly in advanced stages of the disease.
Visceral adipose tissue phenotype and hypoadiponectinemia are associated with aortic Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in patients with familial dyslipidemias.

Background: The role of adipose tissue (AT) in arterial inflammation in familial dyslipidaemias is poorly studied. We investigated the relationship between AT and arterial inflammation in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH).
Methods And Results: A total of 40 patients (20 heFH/20 FCH) and a subgroup of 20 of non-heFH/FCH patients were enrolled.
Objectives: To evaluate the alterations of serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels in patients with chronic hepatitis C during pegylated interferon-alpha (PEG-IFNa) plus ribavirin (RIB) treatment and to correlate them with clinical and virological outcomes.
Study Design: Fifty-two consecutive patients (29 males, age=41.2+/-14.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin levels in patients with acute or chronic liver disease, with or without bacterial infections and to correlate the results with the clinical outcome and the laboratory findings for these patients.
Methods: One hundred and six consecutive hospitalized patients with liver disease were evaluated for procalcitonin levels on admission. Fifteen of them (14.
