Two independent equations were recently proposed for estimating Lu-cetuximab cumulative activity, in a preclinical situation, from an initial Cu-cetuximab diagnostic scan acquired at peak time of decay-uncorrected () or decay-corrected () time-activity curve of trapped Cu-cetuximab, respectively. The standard uptake ratio (SUR) measured at or turned out to be a key metric in each equation, respectively. However, acquiring the diagnostic scan at or might be a limitation of the proposed method. Therefore, in an attempt to overcome this limitation, this note aims at theoretically investigating whether SUR() and/or SUR() could be derived from a diagnostic scan acquired at any time postinjection.

The human brain connectome is characterized by the duality of highly modular structure and efficient integration, supporting information processing. Newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD), prematurity, or spina bifida aperta (SBA) constitute a population at risk for altered brain development and developmental delay (DD). We hypothesize that, independent of etiology, alterations of connectomic organization reflect neural circuitry impairments in cognitive DD.

Background: Urinary formic acid (FA) has been reported to be a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the association between FA and pathological changes in memory clinic patients is currently unclear.
Objective: This study aims to investigate associations between FA and pathological changes across different cognitive statuses in memory clinic patients.

Sarcoidosis is a rare, multisystemic disease of unknown etiology, characterized by noncaseating granulomas in various organs. The disease often presents with nonspecific symptoms that complicate the diagnosis. We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented to her family doctor with weight loss, cervical lymphadenopathy, parotid edema, and cutaneous lesions, initially raising suspicion of a lymphoproliferative disorder.

Background: Alterations in cellular metabolism affect cancer survival and can manifest in metrics of body composition. We investigated the effects of various body composition metrics on survival in patients with glioblastoma (GBM).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who had an abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan performed within 1 month of diagnosis of GBM (178 participants, 102 males, 76 females, median age: 62.

Ewing sarcoma family tumors (ESFT) pose diagnostic challenges, which largely depend on the primary site of involvement and tumor stage. Despite advancements in treatment, metastatic ESFTs remain associated with poor outcomes. This case describes a 21-year-old woman who, in July 2022, presented with a left breast mass identified through ultrasound and CT scan, along with abdominal distention.
