Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor with discordant metastatic disease on 111In-pentetreotide SPECT/CT, 18F-DOPA PET/CT and 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE PET/CT.

A 62-year-old man with resected, pathology-proven small bowel neuroendocrine tumor underwent 111In-pentetreotide SPECT/CT, 18F-DOPA PET/CT and 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE PET/CT to assess metastatic disease. The 111In-pentetreotide SPECT/CT scan showed no metastatic disease. Both 18F-DOPA and 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE PET/CT showed hepatic and peritoneal metastatic disease.

Tips for improving consistency of thyroid nodule interpretation with ACR TI-RADS.

Thyroid nodules are very common in the general population. Most are benign and even those that are malignant are typically slow-growing and do not require treatment. Overdiagnosis and overtreatment of thyroid nodules has resulted in significant healthcare costs.

Effect of training on resident inter-reader agreement with American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System.

Background: The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) was introduced to standardize the ultrasound characterization of thyroid nodules. Studies have shown that ACR-TIRADS reduces unnecessary biopsies and improves consistency of imaging recommendations. Despite its widespread adoption, there are few studies to date assessing the inter-reader agreement amongst radiology trainees with limited ultrasound experience.

Most common infant health concerns in osteopathic practices in Germany. A survey.

Background: In Germany, more parents have been seeking help from osteopaths for their infants and children in recent years. This implies an increasing demand of reliable evidence regarding the effectiveness of osteopathic intervention for this group.

Objective: To identify the 'typical' (most common) health concerns of parents when presenting their infants (age 0-12 months) in pediatric osteopathic practices.

Osteopathic Treatment of Infants in Their First Year of Life: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study (OSTINF Study).

Introduction: In Germany in recent years, a growing number of parents are seeking help from osteopaths for the perceived health complaints of their infants and children. However, reliable evidence for the effectiveness of osteopathic interventions for this group of patients is largely lacking.

Objective: To observe and document changes in the symptoms of certain health disturbances, as perceived by parents, during the course of an osteopathic treatment of their baby, and associated side effects.
