Structure of [18]Annulene Revisited: Challenges for Computing Benzenoid Systems.

J Phys Chem A

February 2024

Department of Chemistry, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, United States.

For cyclic conjugated structures, erratic computational results have been obtained with Hartree-Fock (HF) molecular orbital (MO) methods as well as density functional theory (DFT) with large HF-exchange contributions. In this work, the reasons for this unreliability are explored. Extensive computations on [18]annulene and related compounds highlight the pitfalls to be avoided and the due diligence required for such computational investigations.

Practice Recommendation for Measuring Washout Rates in I-BMIPP Fatty Acid Images.

Ann Nucl Cardiol

October 2023

Department of Radioisotope Medicine, Atomic Bomb Disease and Hibakusha Medicine Unit, Atomic Bomb Disease Institute, Nagasaki University, Japan.

The purpose of this practice recommendation is to specifically identify the critical steps involved in performing and interpreting I-β-methyl-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and measurement of washout rate (WR) from the heart. This document will cover backgrounds, patient preparation, testing procedure, visual image interpretation, quantitation methods using planar and SPECT studies, and reporting of WR. The pitfall and some tips for the calculation of I-BMIPP WR are also included.

MR Imaging of Gynecologic Tumors: Pearls, Pitfalls, and Tumor Mimics.

Radiol Clin North Am

July 2023

Department of Radiology, IRCM, Montpellier Cancer Research Institute, Montpellier 34090, France; INSERM, U1194, University of Montpellier, Montpellier 34295, France.

MR imaging is the modality of choice for the pre-treatment evaluation of patients with gynecologic malignancies, given its excellent soft tissue contrast and multi-planar capability. However, it is not without pitfalls. Challenges can be encountered in the assessment of the infiltration of myometrium, vagina, cervical stroma, and parametria, which are crucial prognostic factors for endometrial and cervical cancers.
