This case highlights the effectiveness of 177Lu-PSMA therapy in a 70-year-old man with castration-resistant prostate cancer who has extensive skeletal metastases in posttherapeutic whole-body imaging. A 70-year-old man with extensive skeletal metastases underwent 4 cycles of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. A whole-body 177Lu-PSMA scan after the first cycle showed diffuse skeletal lesions, with minimal PSMA uptake in the kidneys and salivary glands.

The use of 177Lu-PSMA is especially beneficial because its therapeutic β-emission combined with γ-radiation enables precise treatment and comprehensive imaging in patients with prostate cancer. We present a case of a prostate cancer patient who developed lower extremity lymphedema and hydrocele secondary to prior radiotherapy.

Unlabelled: This study investigates the relationship between F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) metabolic parameters, clinicopathological characteristics, and sarcopenia in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and evaluates their prognostic roles.
Material And Methods: The primary tumor's maximum standard uptake (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) values, as well as clinicopathological factors, were evaluated retrospectively. Computed tomography (CT) was used to assess the skeletal muscle index (SMI).
In this study, antibacterial, synthetic poly(-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PCL-PEO) multilayer nanofibers were produced by an electrospinning method. The material was synthesized in 3 layers. The upper-lower protective layers were produced by PCL nanofibers and the intermediate layer was produced from PEO nanofiber containing sericin-capped silver nanoparticles (S-AgNPs).

- Leishmania (L.) infantum is a parasite causing canine leishmaniasis in Thiès, Senegal, with over 30% of dogs and 20% of humans in the area being seropositive for it.
- A study collected 3,654 sand flies from various environments and identified seven species primarily belonging to the Sergentomyia genus, with Se. dubia and Se. schwetzi being the most common in close proximity to humans and dogs.
- The presence of L. infantum was confirmed in Sergentomyia females, suggesting they play a significant role in the transmission cycle, especially given that some positive females were unfed, indicating potential for the parasite's survival outside of feeding.
Objective: To elucidate the effects of arthroscopy and intraarticular hyaluronan therapies on antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation.
Methods: This study was conducted between January and May 2005, at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey. A total of 60 patients with knee pain who were diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria were included in this study and randomly and equally divided into 4 groups.
