Assessment and management of older people with cognitive impairment, especially those associated with psychiatric symptoms; are recognised as core capabilities of old age psychiatrists. Bi-national collections of HoNOS65+/HoNOS reveal that over 40% of older people entering public mental health services across Australia and New Zealand have a clinically significant rating on the HoNOS65+/HoNOS cognitive problem scale, with rates increasing with age, and significant regional variability. The high rates of cognitive impairment in these data reinforce the need for mental health clinicians working with older people to have the capability to assess people with cognitive impairment.

Background: In radioembolization therapy for hepatic malignancies, the accurate estimation of lung shunt fraction (LSF) is crucial to minimize the risk of radiation-induced pneumonitis and fibrosis due to hepatopulmonary shunting of yttrium-90 (90Y)-microspheres. This study aimed to compare the accuracy and precision of LSF estimation using technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin single photon emission computed tomography ([99mTc]Tc-MAA SPECT) LSF, [99mTc]Tc-MAA planar LSF, and 90Y PET LSF in patients undergoing 90Y-radioembolization.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 15 patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases and planned to undergo transarterial radioembolization with 90Y SirSpheres after multidisplinary team discussion.
