[18F-fluorothymidine preclinical study in non-human primate. Dosimetry and biodistribution].

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is part of the new diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for Hodgkin lymphoma. PET-CT is a valuable tool for the assessment of treatment response and prognosis, both by means of interim PET-CT with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) as well as end of treatment (EOT) PET-CT. Given the low specificity of [18F]FDG for the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), there is an emerging need for a more specific radiopharmaceutical agent.

[Premature rupture of membranes and its relation to infection in newborn infants].

The authors made a retrospective analysis of 136 cases of premature rupture of membranes (RPM) to check for the presence of neonatal infection, anoxia, and prematurity according to the latency period between rupture of membranes and parturition. Neonatal infection due to RPM has been the cause of 8.8% of clinically and laboratorily confirmed cases; in 6.

[Progressive antithrombin activity in blood of pregnant women and neonates in the first four days of life (author's transl)].

Progressive antighrombin activity was assayed in 45 term infants in the first four days of life, in 20 cord blood specimens and in the blood of 20 pregnant women (at term). In the term infants a positive correlation was shown between progressive antithrombin and postnatal age. No correlation could be demonstrated with sex, ethnic group or type of delivery.
