Article Synopsis
- - Plasma-derived von Willebrand factor-containing factor VIII concentrates (pd-VWF/FVIII-C), specifically Fanhdi® and Alphanate®, are commonly used to treat von Willebrand disease (VWD) in Italy, and a study evaluated their real-world effectiveness and safety.
- - The retrospective study involved 57 patients with different types of VWD, treating various bleeding episodes, surgical procedures, and long-term prophylaxis over a period from 2007 to 2019.
- - Results showed that pd-VWF/FVIII-C had excellent or good efficacy in 85% of bleeding episodes, 98% of surgeries, and 100% of long-term prophylaxis cases, with no serious safety concerns reported. *
This report presents the case of a 61-year-old woman with assessment of fronto-temporo-sphenoidal refractory meningioma before radionuclide therapy with pretherapeutic 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT. Given the discovery of osteolytic lesions, 18F-FDG PET/CT is planned to search for the primitive origin. Meningioma bone metastasis is confirmed with spine biopsies.

We compared Hoffman 3-D brain phantom images reconstructed with or without PSF. The effect of PSF deconvolution on AD diagnostic clinical performance was determined from digital brain F-FDG PET images of AD ( = 38) and healthy ( = 35) subjects compared to controls ( = 36).

Our study aimed to assess whether specific control databases are required to improve the diagnostic performance of these recent advances.
Methods: We retrospectively selected two groups of subjects, twenty-seven Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients and twenty-two healthy control (HC) subjects.
