Objectives: To increase understanding of optimal imaging parameters [ 18 F]PSMA-1007 when imaging patients with prostate cancer and to determine interrater agreement using [ 18 F]PSMA-1007.
Methods: In this observational study, four independent physicians read reconstruction sets using bedtimes of 1, 2 and 3 minutes of patients undergoing [ 18 F]PSMA-1007. positron emission topography.
Unlabelled: In prostate cancer, the early detection of distant spread has been shown to be of importance. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-binding radionuclides in positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising method for precise disease staging. PET diagnostics depend on image reconstruction techniques, and ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) is the established standard.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of RRI in relation to AKI in patients with COVID-19 treated in the intensive care unit.
Methods: In this observational cohort study, RRI was measured in COVID-19 patients in six intensive care units at two sites of a Swedish University Hospital.
Background: If screening participants do not trust computerized decision-making, screening participation may be affected by the introduction of such methods.
Purpose: To survey breast cancer screening participants' attitudes towards potential future uses of computerization.
Material And Methods: A survey was constructed.

The loss-of-resistance technique was used to place a 20G epidural needle in the lumbar region in an anesthetized and paralyzed infant. There was no cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and a 24G catheter was inserted through the needle. At end of surgery, when the patient was breathing spontaneously and a bupivacaine bolus was given through the catheter, a total spinal block was identified.
