Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed data from over 21 million COPD hospitalizations to determine the prevalence and risk factors for arrhythmias and in-hospital deaths.
- Out of these hospitalizations, 30% had arrhythmias, with atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most common, particularly among older white males.
- The presence of arrhythmias significantly increased the length of hospital stay, mortality rates, and healthcare costs, highlighting the role of other health conditions in predicting both arrhythmias and mortality.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of each follow-up PET/CT in the clinical assessment of recurrence as well as determining its impact on management in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Patients And Methods: All patients diagnosed with NHL who had at least 1 follow-up PET/CT study, 6 months after primary treatment completion, were included. There were 204 eligible NHL patients with 560 follow-up PET/CT scans.
The role of positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/computed tomography (CT) in the management of pancreatic cancer patients has not been clearly established. Although value of PET/CT in the staging of pancreatic cancer is still being debated, several studies pointed to its superior role in determining therapy response, recurrence detection, and survival prediction in comparison to conventional imaging including contrast-enhanced CT. This article reviews the current literature on usefulness of PET/CT in the management of pancreatic cancer patients.
