This report evaluates the effect of prior administration of several clinically used Sn(II)-containing agents on in vivo distribution of 99mTc. Abnormal binding of 99mTc to red blood cells can occur after administration of pertechnetate to patients who have previously received tin-containing agents. Increased blood levels of tin from other causes may have similar effects.

Cali Biosciences, US, LLC, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background And Objective: There is a significant medical need for improved long-acting local anesthetics to decrease postsurgical pain and reduce postoperative opioid use. While ropivacaine is considered a safer local anesthetic than bupivacaine, no long-acting ropivacaine formulation is currently marketed. Available formulations of bupivacaine show inconsistent pharmacokinetics (PK) among different surgical models, and inconsistency in PK may lead to a reluctance to use the medication owing to fear of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) or unreliable efficacy.

Background: The net benefit of oral anticoagulation in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis (HD) is uncertain. In recent years, left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation; however, there is scant evidence of LAAC in patients on HD.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of LAAC in patients on HD.
Comparison of the effectiveness of intra-infrapatellar fat pad and intra-articular glucocorticoid injection in knee osteoarthritis patients with Hoffa's synovitis: protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: The infrapatellar fat pad and synovium are the sites of immune cell infiltration and the origin of proinflammation. Studies have shown that Hoffa's synovitis may be a sign of early-stage osteoarthritis (OA). However, there have been no effective interventions specifically for Hoffa's synovitis.
