Background: Reactive astrogliosis refers to functional and morphological changes in astrocytes that occur with neuronal damage in numerous neurological conditions. PET tracers targeting monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) are used to visualize reactive astrogliosis in the living brain. [F]SMBT-1, a MAO-B selective PET tracer, was developed by modifying the chemical structure of [F]THK5351.

Although lenalidomide is an essential treatment for multiple myeloma (MM), skin rashes are a common adverse event. This retrospective study aimed to examine the association between skin rash development during lenalidomide treatment and the prognosis of relapsed/refractory MM. All patients who received lenalidomide at 10 hospitals between July 2009 and December 2015 were included in the study.
