Article Synopsis
- Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that often lead to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), which can affect women’s quality of life, particularly in premenopausal women.
- This study analyzed the relationship between different types of uterine fibroids and the incidence of anemia in patients diagnosed with fibroids between 2016 and 2022.
- Findings revealed that 75% of women with submucosal fibroids experienced anemia, while subserosal fibroids were linked to the lowest risk, though all fibroid types showed no significant differences in anemia severity.
Unlabelled: Nuclear medicine specialty involves the administration of unsealed radioactive substances to patients to allow specific diagnostics and treatments using radiopharmaceuticals, radiotracers, and materials. Developing a radiopharmaceutical must involve considering and addressing some limitations such as its retention by unintended organs, which can influence patient and worker safety, imaging findings, and diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy. This paper presents data on the changing biodistribution, localization, stability, and accuracy patterns of radiopharmaceuticals by liposome encapsulation.

The aim of this study was to formulate a suitable tracer encapsulated in liposomes using different techniques and compounds to enhance the stability, uptake, clearance, and cytotoxic effect of the radiopharmaceutical. Cationic liposomes were prepared by a thin-film method using dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cholesterol.

This study was designed to evaluate cardiovascular-related readmission rate after discharge of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and its relationship with medication adherence at a university hospital, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A total of 370 consecutive patients presenting with ACS were involved.
