The most promising devices of those for radionuclide diagnosis that can be used for control of nuclides incorporated in the human body during a radiation incident are hybrid scanners. The authors made the calibration of devices of this type to register a mixture of 137Cs and 134Cs. The minimum detected activity was 40 nCi. A methodological error of measurements was +/- 3%. A mathematical criterion for optimization of the geometry of measurements was drawn for devices, including the methodological and statistical components of a total error. This criterion was used for finding optimum sizes of a slot collimator of the device.

Heterogeneity during (Mtb) infection greatly impacts disease outcome and complicates treatment. This heterogeneity encompasses many facets, spanning local differences in the host immune response to Mtb and the environment experienced by the bacterium, to nonuniformity in Mtb replication state. All of these facets are interlinked and each can affect Mtb susceptibility to antibiotic treatment.

Single-cell decisions made in complex environments underlie many bacterial phenomena. Image-based transcriptomics approaches offer an avenue to study such behaviors, yet these approaches have been hindered by the massive density of bacterial messenger RNA. To overcome this challenge, we combined 1000-fold volumetric expansion with multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) to create bacterial-MERFISH.

Systems biology tackles the challenge of understanding the high complexity in the internal regulation of homeostasis in the human body through mathematical modelling. These models can aid in the discovery of disease mechanisms and potential drug targets. However, on one hand the development and validation of knowledge-based mechanistic models is time-consuming and does not scale well with increasing features in medical data.

Objectives: To evaluate 18F-DCFPyL-PET/MRI whole-gland-derived radiomics for detecting clinically significant (cs) prostate cancer (PCa) and predicting metastasis.
Methods: Therapy-naïve PCa patients who underwent 18F-DCFPyL PET/MRI were included. Whole-prostate-segmentation was performed.
