A comparison of routine [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 preparation using Locametz and Illuccix kits.

Background: Approval of Locametz and Illuccix kits for the manufacture of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (gallium Ga68 gozetotide), a PET imaging agent for prostate cancer, as well as the corresponding therapeutic ([Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 Pluvicto), has led to a rapid increase in demand for [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging. Radiopharmaceutical manufacturers, using Ge/Ga generators, may decide to adopt Locametz and/or Illuccix kits, which requires a comparison to select the most suitable kit for day-to-day use. The objective of this article is to compare both kits and provide guidance for selecting one for routine use, as well as evaluate labeling consistency of both kits during routine production.

Examining observed and forecasted nursing PhD enrollment and graduation trends in the United States: Implications for the profession.

The U.S. is facing a mounting nursing faculty shortage.

Genome-wide association study of haploid female fertility (HFF) and haploid male fertility (HMF) in BS39-derived doubled haploid maize lines.

Restoration of haploid female and haploid male fertility without colchicine is feasible. Three SNPs and eight gene models for HFF, and one SNP and a gene model for HMF were identified. Doubled haploid (DH) breeding accelerates the development of elite inbred lines and facilitates the incorporation of exotic germplasm, offering a powerful tool for maize improvement.
