Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the characteristics and risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients with and without laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), involving 90 participants divided equally into two groups.
- Findings showed that LPR patients tended to be younger, had a higher male prevalence, and a greater body mass index, along with more frequent hiatal hernias compared to those without LPR.
- Both groups underwent endoscopic evaluations, revealing different percentages of non-erosive GERD, erosive GERD, and Barrett's esophagus, indicating varying clinical profiles and potential risk factors for LPR among GERD patients.
Meningiomas are the most common benign intracranial neoplasms. Nearly 20% of all primary intracranial tumors are meningiomas. Primary intraosseous meningiomas are a subtype of the meningiomas that represents the most uncommon manifestation of meningiomas.

Eighty-nine lesions were detected on c-PET whereas 133 lesions were seen with d-PET imaging. The relative sensitivity of c-PET compared with d-PET was 62% and 73% for lesions < 15 and > or = 15 mm, respectively, and the relative concordance rate was 84% when the patients were restaged.

Cytotoxicity studies have indicated that intracellular labeling of leukocytes with (111)In compounds may have severe detrimental effects on the cells.
Methods: In this study, the radiotoxic effects on mixed lymphocytes after labeling with (99m)Tc-HMPAO was investigated using the cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay and chromosomal aberration assay.
