Purpose: This first-in-human study aimed to evaluate the radiation dosimetry and whole-body biodistribution of [F]AlF-NYM005, a novel small-molecule carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeting agent, and to investigate its ability to detect CAIX-positive tumors using PET scans in a cohort of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients.

Methods: [F]AlF-NYM005 was synthesized using a fully automatic cassette module Mortenon M1 (Nuoyu, China). Thirty-five patients with a suspicious lesion considered primary renal malignancy or a history of ccRCC were prospectively recruited and studied.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the safe use and distribution of a new imaging probe called [Cu]Fibrin Binding Probe #8 ([Cu]FBP8) in healthy individuals, focusing on its potential for thrombus imaging and pulmonary fibrosis detection.
  • - Eight participants underwent PET/MRI sessions after receiving the probe, which showed quick blood clearance and renal excretion, with the urinary bladder and kidneys receiving the highest radiation doses.
  • - Findings suggest that [Cu]FBP8 has low dosimetry, rapid clearance, and low background signal, making it a promising tool for non-invasive imaging in various medical conditions related to cardiovascular, cancer, and neurological issues.

Article Synopsis
  • Timely placement of external ventricular drains (EVDs) is crucial in emergency neurosurgery, and the introduction of portable electrical drills like the Hubly drill offers potential improvements in the procedure.
  • In a study, two patients successfully received EVDs using the new portable drill, with quick access times and no complications observed during the procedures.
  • The findings suggest that the smart autostop feature of the drill could enhance safety and efficiency in EVD placement, highlighting the need for further development and research in this technology.
