Unlabelled: (11)C-ABP-688 is a selective tracer for the mGluR5 receptor. Its kinetics is fast and thus favourable for an equilibrium approach to determine receptor-related parameters. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the pattern of the (11)C-ABP688 uptake using a bolus-plus-infusion (B/I) protocol at early time points corresponds to the perfusion and at a later time point to the total distribution volume.
Methods: A bolus and a B/I study (1 h each) was performed in five healthy male volunteers. With the B/I protocol, early and late scans were normalized to gray matter, cerebellum and white matter. The same normalization was done on the maps of the total distribution volume (Vt) and K(1) which were calculated in the study with bolus only injection and the Logan method (Vt) and a two-tissue compartment model (K(1)).
Results: There was an excellent correlation close to the identity line between the pattern of the late uptake in the B/I study and Vt of the bolus-only study for all three normalizations. The pattern of the early uptake in the B/I study correlated well with the K(1) maps, but only when normalized to gray matter and cerebellum, not to white matter.
Conclusion: It is demonstrated that with a B/I protocol the (11)C-ABP688 distribution in late scans reflects the pattern of the total distribution volume and is therefore a measure for the density pattern of mGluR5. The early scans following injection are related to blood flow, although not in a fully quantitative manner. The advantage of the B/I protocol is that no arterial blood sampling is required, which is advantageous in clinical studies.

Bromoxynil (BML) is a toxic herbicide that is reported to cause various organ toxicities. However, there is not a single investigation conducted to elucidate the adverse impacts of BML on hepatic tissues at different dose concentrations. Therefore, the current investigation was planned to assess the deleterious effects of BML on liver against different dose concentrations.

Samples from 34 adult patients newly diagnosed with core binding factor leukemia (CBFL) were collected both at the time of diagnosis and at relapse and were centrally analyzed. Eligible patients received either standard induction CT known as "3 + 7" or an equivalent regimen, according to the recruiting center's policy. Patients who achieved CR or CRi received 3 courses of high-dose ARA-C (Cytarabine) 3000 mg/m every 12 h on days 1, 3, and 5, along with midostaurin at the dose of 50 mg b.

Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment (CI) is a common challenge for cancer survivors, and this study investigates the use of digital Goal Management Training (GMT) compared to computerized cognitive training (CCT) to address this issue in cervical cancer survivors (CCS).
- The study involved 35 CCS, who were randomly assigned to either digital GMT or CCT, with both groups showing a high completion rate of 88% and reporting strong satisfaction with the interventions.
- Results indicated that both training methods led to improvements in attention, memory, and self-reported cognitive functioning, suggesting that digital GMT is a feasible option for enhancing cognitive health in cancer survivors while being low-cost and easy to implement.

Background: Stent underexpansion is a significant challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention, critically impacting patient outcomes. While excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) are increasingly used to address this issue, their full impact on the integrity of drug-eluting stents remains unclear, raising concerns about their safety and efficacy.
Methods: This in vitro study assessed the effects of ELCA and IVL on the structural integrity of drug-eluting stents using scanning electron microscopy.
