Evaluation of three diagnostic algorithms to reduce normal scan rates, radiation exposure and costs in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome referred for 82Rb-Positron Emission Tomography (Rb-PET).

Background: The majority of functional ischemia tests in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) yield normal results. Implementing gatekeepers for patient preselection, such as pretest probability (PTP) and/or coronary artery calcium score (CACS), could reduce the number of normal scan results, radiation exposure and costs. However, the efficacy and safety of these approaches remain unclear.

Purpose Low-dose total skin electron beam therapy (LD-TSEBT) has recently gained popularity in treating mycosis fungoides (MF) due to its reduced toxicity and favorable response rates. Combining accelerated LD-TSEBT with the modified Stanford technique (mST), a condensed cycling approach, offers a promising and convenient option. However, in vivo dosimetry data confirming the effectiveness of this approach is limited.

U and U are proven to be useful tracers to investigate upper-ocean hydrodynamics due to their source-specific isotopic ratios and conservative behaviors in the open ocean. However, their application in the Pacific Ocean has been limited by scarce observations and unclear source-term information. Here, we present our observations of U and U in the western North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPStG), showing the presence of a source of anthropogenic U featured by a low U/U ratio (∼1 × 10), which is an order of magnitude lower than the global fallout signature (∼2 × 10).

Dosimetry is integral to informed implementation of radiopharmaceutical therapies, enabling personalized treatment planning and ensuring patient safety by calculating absorbed doses to organs and tumors. As the therapeutic radiopharmaceutical field continues to expand, dosimetry software has emerged as a crucial tool for optimization of treatment efficacy. This review discusses key features and capabilities that current dosimetry software solutions have or should have in the future.

Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, and treatments like low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT) are being researched for their effectiveness in relief.
- A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases to analyze the impact of LLLT on symptoms like pain, strength, and hand functionality among 13 selected randomized controlled trials.
- Results showed that LLLT did not significantly improve pain or handgrip strength, although it had some potential benefits for hand functionality.
