Advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) has a dismal prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 10%. Platinum-based chemotherapy has been the backbone of the first-line treatment of aUC for over 40 years. Only in the last decade, the treatment of aUC has evolved and been enriched with new classes of drugs that demonstrated pivotal improvements in terms of oncological responses and, ultimately, survival.

This joint practice guideline/procedure standard was collaboratively developed by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), and the PET task force of the Response Assessment in Neurooncology Working Group (PET/RANO). Brain metastases are the most common malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors. PET imaging with radiolabeled amino acids and to lesser extent [F]FDG has gained considerable importance in the assessment of brain metastases, especially for the differential diagnosis between recurrent metastases and treatment-related changes which remains a limitation using conventional MRI.

Despite significant advances in endovascular techniques, open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair continues to play an important role in vascular surgery. Many studies have described the advantages of epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia over general anesthesia alone as an analgesic method for open AAA repair. Several recent guidelines have recommended epidural anesthesia as the first option for pain management in open AAA repair.

Background: Current guidelines recommend preserving at least one of the bilateral pelvic flows in patients with aortoiliac aneurysms. The sandwich parallel graft, using commercially available devices, provides a viable option for patients who fall outside the instructions for use of iliac branch devices. However, gutter endoleak remains a significant challenge.

SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins are the minimal machinery required for vesicle fusion in eukaryotes. Formation of a highly stable four-helix bundle consisting of SNARE motif of these proteins, drives vesicle/membrane fusion involved in several physiological processes such as neurotransmission. Recycling/disassembly of the protein machinery involved in membrane fusion is essential and is facilitated by an AAA+ ATPase, N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF) in the presence of an adapter protein, α-SNAP.
