Background/objectives: Dithiocarbazates (DTCs) and their metal complexes have been studied regarding their property as anticancer activities. In this work, using S-benzyl-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pirazol-1-carbodithionate (Hbdtc), we prepared [ReO(bdtc)(Hbdtc)] and [[Tc]TcO(bdtc)(Hbdtc)] complexes for tumor uptake and animal biodistribution studies.
Methods: Re complex was prepared by a reaction of H2bdtc and (NBu)[ReOCl], the final product was characterized by IR, H NMR, CHN, and MS-ESI.
Evaluation of myelin content in the spinal cord of patients with multiple sclerosis: A positron emission tomography study.
Mult Scler Relat Disord
December 2024
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is divided into Relapsing-Remitting (RRMS) and Progressive (PMS) phenotypes, both associated with spinal cord (SC) damage. MS-related disability and SC atrophy are not yet fully understood and can differ across phenotypes. A combined approach using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) could provide a broader understanding of myelin changes in the cervical SC (CSC) in different MS phenotypes and the associations with disability.

She was on enteral nutrition for more than 2 months due to dysphagia and underwent an 18F-FDG PET/CT for restaging. The images showed uptake in a left cervical node.

- Multiple sclerosis (MS) has two primary types: relapse-remitting MS (RRMS) and progressive MS (PMS), which differ in disability and treatment response, making it hard to identify using traditional MRI.
- A study utilized scaled subprofile modeling with principal component analysis (SSM/PCA) on MRI scans from RRMS and PMS patients to better distinguish these MS types.
- Results showed that qihMT imagery provided the best differentiation between PMS and RRMS at 87% specificity, while Tw data offered higher sensitivity at 93%; when both analyses agreed, prediction accuracy increased significantly for identifying MS phenotypes.
Comparison of plasma clearance of [Cr]CrEDTA based on three, two and single samples to measure the glomerular filtration rate in patients with solid tumors: a prospective cross-sectional analysis.
Clinics (Sao Paulo)
July 2024
Objectives: [Cr]CrEDTA is used to measure the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in different clinical conditions. However, there is no consensus on the ideal number of blood samples to be taken and at what time points to measure its clearance. This study aimed to compare Slope Intercept (SI) and Single-Sample (SS) methods for measuring GFR in patients with solid tumors, stratified by age, GFR, and Body Mass Index (BMI).
