Synthesis and molecular docking analysis of novel hydrazone and thiosemicarbazide derivatives incorporating a pyrimidine ring: exploring neuroprotective activity.

The increasing global prevalence of Alzheimer's disease necessitates the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Neurodegenerative diseases are associated with increased oxidative stress and levels of cholinesterase enzymes. Hence, the development of cholinesterase inhibitors and antioxidants may provide neuroprotective effects.

Efficacy of additional lateral pinhole and SPECT/CT imaging in dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy for localising parathyroid pathologies in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: a single-institution experience.

Purpose: Parathyroid imaging with dual-phase technetium-99m methoxyisobutrylizonitrile (Tc-99m MIBI) scintigraphy serves as an important prerequisite for the identification of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland(s) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) for a successful targeted parathyroidectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of additional lateral imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) versus conventional planar imaging for locating parathyroid pathologies in patients with PHPT.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 105 patients who underwent dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy and were surgically treated by parathyroidectomy.

Extranodal Mantle Cell Lymphoma Presented as Bilateral Adrenal Masses on 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that commonly presents with constitutional symptoms, lymphadenopathy, and laboratory abnormalities. Although less common, extranodal involvement of MCL may be seen at initial presentation and most commonly occurs in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, and gastrointestinal tract. Adrenal involvement in MCL is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature.
