Zinc is an important physiological cation, and its misregulation is implicated in various diseases. It is therefore important to be able to image zinc by non-invasive methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this work, we have successfully synthesized a novel Gd3+-based complex specifically for Zn2+ sensing by MRI.

Objectives: Gadopiclenol is a q = 2 pyclen gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and other European countries. The aim of this report is to demonstrate its stability in multiple stressed in vitro conditions and in vivo, in rat kidney, while maintaining its higher relaxivity compared with conventional GBCAs on the market.
Materials And Methods: Both gadopiclenol and its chemical precursor Pi828-Gd were characterized and compared with q = 1 gadolinium (Gd) complexes.

Objectives: To investigate the associations between gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) administration and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pediatric patients, and to determine the risks associated with AKI.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on pediatric patients who underwent contrast-enhanced or unenhanced MRI between January 1st, 2015, and June 30th, 2021. Examinations were included if they had data on height and serum creatinine levels within 3 months before and 2 days after the examinations.
The Gadolinium Research and Education Committee (GREC) is a working group of the European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ESMRMB), established in 2016. The aim of the committee is to monitor scientific evidence for a continuous quality and safety improvement of enhanced MRI using gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), and also assess potential alternatives. The scope of the present article is to describe the level of evidence concerning safety beyond the single patient (access to community and environmental impact), justification and optimization of the use of GBCAs beyond dosage (appropriateness and influence on clinical decision making), dose reduction with the use of AI (benefits and pitfalls), the advent of next-generation GBCAs (based on currently available data).

Background: Ganglioneuroma represents an uncommon benign tumor arising from the sympathetic nerves, and its development from the fifth nerve is an infrequent entity. Few ganglioneuromas arising from the fifth nerve have been discussed in literature. The authors describe the second pediatric ganglioneuroma arising from the fifth nerve.
