Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of ESTRO-EANO guidelines for RT-planning in glioblastomas using [F]DOPA-PET, comparing their target definition thresholds (1.6-1.8) with traditional biological-tumor-volume (BTV) thresholds derived from the striatum. !* -
- An analysis of 50 glioma patients found that the striatum SUV
max threshold often resulted in smaller and less accurate tumor volumes, with significant discrepancies noted in many cases. !* - - The research concludes that the ESTRO-EANO thresholds for defining tumor volume are compatible with [F]DOPA-PET scans, while using the striatal SUV
This prospective study aimed to (1) compare the diagnostic performance of Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT with respect to conventional imaging (computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy (BS)) in the primary staging of high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients and (2) validate PSMA-PET/CT accuracy in pelvic nodal staging in comparison with postoperative histopathology and assess PSMA-PET/CT's impact on patient management. Sixty castration-sensitive high-risk (ISUP 4-5 and/or PSA > 20 ng/mL and/or cT3) PCa patients eligible for radical prostatectomy were enrolled (median PSA 10.10 [IQR: 6.

- - The left atrial (LA) size, measured by the LA volume index (LAVI), is important for predicting outcomes in various cardiovascular diseases.
- - Evaluating LA function alongside LAVI enhances prognostic capabilities, using methods like echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging, and speckle-tracking.
- - This review examines the existing medical evidence on these approaches to assess LA function and their potential clinical benefits.

Background And Aims: Telemonitoring is increasingly used in the management of IBD patients. We investigated the agreement between patients and physicians on scores of disease activity and burden.
Methods: Consecutive outpatients at one IBD clinic were recruited between February and December 2021.
