Unlabelled: Radiation dosimetry of thyroid cancer therapy with 131I can be performed by coadministration of 124I followed by longitudinal PET scans over several days. The photons emitted by 131I may affect PET image quality. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of large amounts of 131I on PET image quality and accuracy with various acquisition settings.
Methods: Noise equivalent count (NEC) rates of 124I only were measured with a standard clinical PET scanner. Apart from the standard 350- to 650-keV energy window, 425- to 650-keV and 460- to 562-keV windows were used and data were acquired both with (2-dimensional) and without (3-dimensional [3D]) septa. A phantom containing 6 hot spheres, filled with a combination of 131I and 124I and with a sphere-to-background ratio of 18:1, was scanned repeatedly with energy window settings as indicated and emission and transmission scan durations of 7 and 3 min, respectively. NEC rates were calculated and compared with those measured with the phantom filled with only 124I. Sphere-to-background ratios in the reconstructed images were determined. One patient with known metastatic thyroid cancer was scanned using energy window settings and scan times as indicated 3 and 6 d after administration of 5.5 GBq of 131I and 75 MBq of 124I.
Results: The highest 124I-only NEC rates were obtained using a 425- to 650-keV energy window in 3D mode. In the presence of (131)I, the settings giving the highest NEC rate and contrast were 425-650 keV and 460-562 keV in 3D mode, with the clinical scans giving the highest quality images with the same settings.
Conclusion: Acquisition in 3D mode with a 425- to 650-keV or 460- to 562-keV window leads to the highest image quality and contrast when imaging 124I in the presence of large amounts of 131I using a standard clinical PET scanner.

Sodium-metal batteries (SMBs) using solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) show impressive superiority in energy density and safety. As promising candidates for SPEs, solid-state plastic crystal electrolytes (SPCE) based on succinonitrile (SN) plastic crystal could achieve high ion conductivity and wide voltage window. Nonetheless, the notorious SN decomposition reaction on the electrode/electrolyte interface seriously challenges the stable operation of the battery.

Resource availability should have consequences for life-history functions and trade-offs among them because it influences the amounts of resources allocated to different functions. Nutritional status during a key developmental window (sexual maturation) may also have an important impact on life-history functions and such trade-offs. However, less is known about whether and how they interact to influence the resource allocation of individuals.

Of the few weberite-type Na-ion cathodes explored to date, NaFeF exhibits the best performance, with capacities up to 184 mAh/g and energy densities up to 550 Wh/kg reported for this material. However, the development of robust structure-property relationships for this material is complicated by its tendency to form as a mixture of metastable polymorphs, and transform to a lower-energy Na FeF perovskite compound during electrochemical cycling. Our first-principles-guided exploration of Fe-based weberite solid solutions with redox-inactive Mg and Al predicts an enhanced thermodynamic stability of NaMg Fe F as the Mg content is increased, and the = 0.

Although classical fluorescent dyes feature advantages of high quantum yield, tunable "OFF-ON" fluorescence, and modifiable chemical structures, etc., their bio-applications in deep tissue remains challenging due to their excessively short emission wavelength (that may lead to superficial tissue penetration depth). Therefore, there is a pressing need for pushing the wavelength of classical dyes from visible region to NIR-II window.

The plastic waste accumulation requires facile yet effective solutions. Currently mechanical recycling typically leads to downcycling, while the environmental footprint of chemical recycling is often unacceptable. Here, we introduce a dual circularity concept, where rational molecular design paves the way for complementary closed-loop mechanical and chemical recyclability under mild conditions.
