High PSMA Avidity, Yet Still Benign: The Importance of CT Morphology for Diagnosing Fibrous Dysplasia on PSMA-Targeted PET/CT.

A 64-year-old man with newly diagnosed prostate cancer underwent 18F-Piflufolastat PET/CT. Radiotracer avidity localized to the primary prostate malignancy and to a left rib (SUVmax, 9.0).

Quantification of NAD T and T Relaxation Times Using Downfield H MRS at 7 T in Human Brain In Vivo.

The purpose of this study was to measure T and T relaxation times of NAD proton resonances in the downfield H MRS spectrum in human brain at 7 T in vivo and to assess the propagation of relaxation time uncertainty in NAD quantification. Downfield spectra from eight healthy volunteers were acquired at multiple echo times to measure T relaxation times, and saturation recovery data were acquired to measure T relaxation times. The downfield acquisition used a spectrally selective 90° sinc pulse for excitation centered at 9.

An examination of ankle joint position sense, postural control and associated neuromuscular deficits in patients with plantar fasciitis: a cross-sectional analysis with advanced biomechanical and psychosocial correlates.

Background: Ankle joint position sense (AJPS) accuracy and postural control are crucial for maintaining balance and stability, particularly in individuals with plantar fasciitis who may experience proprioceptive and functional impairments. Understanding how psychosocial factors, such as pain catastrophizing, and biomechanical measures, like muscle strength and gait parameters related to proprioception and postural control, can inform more effective treatment approaches. This study aimed to (1) examine the relationship between AJPS accuracy and biomechanical factors-including postural stability, lower limb muscle strength, and gait parameters-in individuals with plantar fasciitis d (2) analyze the impact of psychosocial factors, including pain catastrophizing, physical activity level, and quality of life, on AJPS accuracy and postural control in this population.

Analysis of Method Performance for Quantitative Assessment of Listeria monocytogenes in Queso Fresco Cheese.

A Proficiency Test (PT) was conducted for Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) laboratories for quantitative assessment of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) in queso fresco cheese. The Moffett Proficiency Test Laboratory: MPTL (organizer) prepared test samples for each participating laboratory with 10 CFU/g of L.
