Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4 PET/CT to traditional imaging methods for locating insulinomas, a type of tumor that causes low blood sugar.
- Exendin PET/CT showed a significantly higher diagnostic accuracy (94.4%) compared to DOTA-SSA PET/CT (64.8%), CT/MRI (83.3%), and endoscopic ultrasound (82.8%).
- The findings suggest that exendin PET/CT offers better image quality and consistency among observers, making it a valuable tool for the preoperative assessment of insulinomas.
Article Synopsis
- A study examining 9,300 heart failure patients in primary care revealed that 30.7% of them also had anemia, which is more prevalent in older patients, men, and those with kidney issues.
- Anemia is linked to several serious comorbidities such as cancer, diabetes, and peripheral artery disease, with cancer showing a strong independent association.
- Patients with anemia had a significantly worse prognosis, leading to higher risks of hospitalization and mortality compared to those without anemia.
Tumour evolution with acquisition of more aggressive disease characteristics is a hallmark of disseminated cancer. Metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) in particular may progress from a low/intermediate to a high-grade disease. The aim of this work was to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying metastatic progression as well as PanNET transformation from a low/intermediate to a high-grade disease.

In this paper, the claim is made that progress can be accelerated by learning from each other across the two fields. Examples of successful cross-community knowledge transfer are presented that highlight the gains from working together, specifically in the areas of high-resolution x-ray imaging spectroscopy and neutron spectrometry.

We aimed to determine the extent to which MASLD is an increasing cause of HCC in Sweden and to determine clinical characteristics associated with underlying MASLD. Using the Swedish quality registry for liver cancer (SweLiv), we identified all adults with a diagnosis of HCC in Sweden between 2012 and 2018.
