Dosimetry of Continuous Random Motion in High Dose Rate Strontium-90 Plesiotherapy.

Strontium-90 plesiotherapy delivers high doses of radiation to superficial lesions (<3 mm depth) with excellent sparing of deeper tissues. The sealed-source applicator tip is circular and 8-10 mm in diameter. Larger treatment fields are treated with multiple overlapping fields.

Canine synovial lipomatosis: Clinicopathologic findings and HGMA2 immunohistochemistry in 4 cases.

Synovial lipomatosis is an uncommon, intra-articular, fat-containing, proliferative lesion with unknown etiology that is rarely reported in dogs. A retrospective study spanning 13 years was conducted to search for cases of canine synovial lipomatosis. Among 188 synovial biopsies of major diarthrodial joints (ie, shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus) from 186 dogs, 4 cases (2.

"Because of this rotation, this is what I want to do": Implementation and evaluation of a telehealth opioid use disorder clinical placement for nurse practitioner students.

The lack of clinicians comfortable prescribing buprenorphine is a barrier to access for people with opioid use disorder (OUD). Accordingly, a telehealth OUD treatment clinic, Ophelia, launched a clinical training program for nurse practitioner (NP) students. The goal of this study was to assess a telehealth-based model of OUD clinical training.

Phase I evaluation of CycloSam (Sm-153-DOTMP) bone seeking radiopharmaceutical in dogs with spontaneous appendicular osteosarcoma.

Sm-DOTMP (CycloSam ) is a newly-patented radiopharmaceutical for bone tumor treatment. DOTMP (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetramethylene-phosphonate) is a macrocyclic chelating agent with superior binding properties to Sm when compared with EDTMP (Quadramet™, used for palliative treatment of bone cancer). CycloSam was administered at 1 mCi/kg (37 MBq/kg) in a prospective pilot study to seven dogs with bone cancer resulting in no myelosuppression.
