Background: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in pediatric populations has a high survival rate but poses risks for long-term morbidities. Although [F]fluoro‑2‑deoxy‑2‑d‑glucose positron emission tomography ([F]FDG PET) scans offer potential for improved risk stratification, the definitive prognostic value of quantitative [F]FDG PET parameters remains unclear for pediatric HL.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective study included pediatric patients diagnosed with HL between 2016 and 2023 treated according to EuroNet-PHL-C1 and DAL/GPOH-HD protocols.
Purpose: The risk of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains an important concern following major liver resection. Assessment of future remnant liver function (FRLF) by hepatobiliary scintigraphy has shown its significance to prevent PHLF after major liver resection in adults with a threshold value of FRLF greater than 2.7%/min per m2.

The clinical, histomorphological, and laboratory signs were compared in rats with osteomyelitis (infected) and control animals receiving saline. On day 21 after infection, clinical, histomorphological, and laboratory signs of chronic osteomyelitis were found in experimental rats.

Objective: To analyze the initial data on future liver remnant volume and its function evaluated by Tc-Bromesida hepatobiliary scintigraphy in children with liver tumors.
Material And Methods: Extended liver resections were performed in 58 patients aged 2 months - 208 months (median 26 months) for various neoplasms. Before hepatectomy, all children underwent contrast-enhanced CT with volumetry and hepatobiliary scintigraphy with Tc-Bromezida and subsequent quantitative assessment of its accumulation in the future liver remnant.
