Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of a novel SPECT tracer, [Tc]-PentixaTec, to visualize CXCR4-positive immune cells in patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- In a retrospective analysis of 9 AMI patients, increased CXCR4 expression was found in areas with reduced blood flow, indicating localized inflammation in the heart.
- The findings suggest that CXCR4 imaging could serve as a potential tool for assessing inflammation post-AMI, even though there was no significant correlation with common blood markers of heart damage.
Background: Split-depression fractures to the lateral tibial plateau (AO41B3) often feature severe joint surface destructions. Precontoured locking compression plates (LCPs) are designed for optimum support of the reduced joint surface and have especially been emphasized in reduced bone quality. A lack of evidence still inhibits their broad utilization in elderly patients.
