Gradual normalization of superscan in prostate cancer: A case report and literature review.

This report presents the imaging findings in a patient with advanced prostate cancer and bone metastases. A superscan pattern on the initial whole-body bone scan suggested extensive disease. The patient responded well to definitive treatment, exhibiting clinical improvement based on decreased PSA levels and CT findings in 6-month follow-up.

A prospective cohort study on post COVID syndrome from a tertiary care centre in Sri Lanka.

There is a scarcity of follow-up data on post-COVID syndrome and its physical, psychological, and quality of life attributes, particularly from South Asian populations. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence, associations, and impact of the post-COVID syndrome among patients treated at a dedicated COVID-19 treatment unit. A prospective cohort study was conducted to follow-up patients with moderate to severe disease or mild disease with co-morbidities at 2 and 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months and 1 year from discharge.

Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT in a patient with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

This case report follows a 70-year-old male patient with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome undergoing computed tomography (CT) for weight loss and surveillance of bilateral adrenal nodules. Incidentally, diffuse gastric and duodenal wall thickening was noted on CT. The patient underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy results showing well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET) in the stomach and duodenum.

A study of association between platelet volume indices and ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Introduction And Objective: ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is caused by formation of a thrombus at a ruptured atheromatous plaque. Larger platelets are enzymatically and metabolically more active and play a crucial role in thrombus formation. Our objective was to study the association between platelet volume indices (mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW)) and STEMI.

Identification of novel inhibitors of bacterial translation elongation factors.

Bacterial elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) and EF-Ts are interacting proteins involved in polypeptide chain elongation in protein biosynthesis. A novel scintillation proximity assay for the detection of inhibitors of EF-Tu and EF-Ts, as well as the interaction between them, was developed and used in a high-throughput screen of a chemical library. Several compounds from a variety of chemical series with inhibitory properties were identified, including certain indole dipeptides, benzimidazole amidines, 2-arylbenzimidazoles, N-substituted imidazoles, and N-substituted guanidines.
