We report a 58-year-old man whose incidentally discovered papillary thyroid carcinoma in the left lobe showed high FDG and low FLT uptake on PET/CT. The SUVmax was 19.7 for FDG and 3.0 for FLT. The Ki-67 labeling index of the tumor was 1.9%. Thus, the low FLT uptake might be attributed to the low proliferative activity of this cancer.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined 33 severe COVID-19 patients who underwent a novel hemoperfusion therapy using the Seraph100 filter, aiming to reduce viral RNA levels and markers of inflammation.
- Results showed that while the initial levels of SARS-CoV-2 RNA were generally low and did not significantly change post-treatment, five inflammatory protein analytes exhibited notable decreases, indicating some therapeutic effect on inflammation and endothelial damage.
- The conclusion highlighted that Seraph 100 did not effectively lower viral RNA levels, but it did successfully reduce several inflammatory markers in the blood of these patients.
Smoked and Fermented Bushmeat (Mpunam) Products: Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Resulting From Processing.

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) congener concentrations and risk upon human exposure to smoked bushmeat products were analyzed. GC/MS MRM and QuEChERS methods were used for the analysis. This work has become necessary due to the need for more information concerning the quantitative determination of these compounds and their health risk assessment.

The electrocoagulation (ECG) and ferrate (Fe(VI))-based processes are increasingly acknowledged as efficient for the simultaneous removal of As and Mn from synthetic and real mine effluents. Prior to design of full-scale applications, more information on the physicochemical, mineralogical, and environmental characterization of the produced sludge is required. The main objective of this study was to characterize and evaluate the leaching potential of problematic elements in As- and Mn-rich sludge produced during ECG or Fe(VI) treatment of circumneutral surrogate mine water.

Purpose: F-fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) enables sensitive imaging of bone marrow (BM) proliferation. Sequential FLT-PET/computed tomography scans before and during chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for non-small cell lung cancer were repurposed to investigate the dose-response effects of radiation on BM proliferation.
Methods And Materials: Twenty-six non-small cell lung cancer patients underwent platinum-based CRT to 60 Gy in 30 fractions with FLT-PET/computed tomography scans at baseline, week 2 (20 Gy), and week 4 (40 Gy).

Background: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic power of [F]FLT-PET with ceMRI in patients with brain tumours or other focal lesions.
Methods: 121 patients with suspected brain tumour or those after brain tumour surgery were enroled in this retrospective study (61 females, 60 males, mean age 37.3 years, range 1-80 years).
