Purpose: F13640 is a highly selective serotonin 5-HT receptor ligand with agonist properties identified as a PET radiopharmaceutical candidate. In previous work, we showed the possibility to use long dynamic PET acquisition (225 min) combined with simplified kinetic modelling for [F]F13640 quantification. In this work, we assessed the feasibility of static acquisition and quantification using standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) as an alternative.
Methods: Test-retest PET-MRI scans of 225 min were conducted in eight healthy male volunteers. For 17 brain regions, distribution volume ratios (DVR) were calculated from the whole kinetics using Logan plot modelling method with the cerebellum white matter as reference region. For the same regions, SUVR were also calculated from static images, for four 20-minute and four 10-minute time-intervals at various time of uptake. Reliability between SUVR and DVR measures were studied, and test-retest parameters were assessed between PET sessions for each time-interval.
Results: Reproducibility of measures of SUVR compared to DVR were excellent, whatever the time interval (p<0.001). For the 20-min. time-intervals, SUVR showed the best reproducibility and correlation parameters (R = 0.95 ± 0.03, intercept = 0.06 ± 0.02, slope = 0.95 ± 0.01). As well, for the 10-min. time-intervals, SUVR showed the best correlation (R = 0.94 ± 0.03, intercept = 0.07 ± 0.02, slope = 0.94 ± 0.01). SUVR reproducibility between test-retest sessions was also excellent for each time-interval. These results were valid for pooled regions as well as at regional level.
Conclusion: This study confirms the feasibility of static acquisitions to facilitate clinical use of the [F]F13640 radiopharmaceutical to image functional 5-HT receptors. This involves off-camera injection, 10 to 20 minutes static acquisition duration, and quantification using SUVR, while improving patient comfort.

The development of standard drugs for some unusual cancers, including estrogen-nonresponsive breast cancer, is somewhat difficult within a very short time. So, considering the current situation, phytoestrogen may be a potential candidate for unraveling chemotherapeutics agents. The reason for this review article is to manifest overall information regarding the effects of phytoestrogen on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), along with its related cellular and molecular pathways in different TNBC models.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the rarest and most aggressive form of thyroid cancer, known for its highly variable nature and poor prognosis, primarily due to the lack of effective treatments. While conventional therapies have had limited success, there remains an urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches to combat this disease. ATC tumors are resistant to the standard radioiodine therapy because they lack the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), which is necessary for iodine uptake.

Background And Objectives: Electronic health record documentation burden negatively affects physician satisfaction and patient care. Although well-constructed notes are important for care quality and safety, most note templates are created and maintained by individual physicians, leading to inefficiency and variable note quality. This study aimed to assess whether standardized, condition-specific note templates could enhance the efficiency and quality of notes written by neurology residents in the outpatient setting.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to differentiate reactive lymphadenitis from nodal lymphoma of the head and neck.
Material And Methods: This study included 138 patients with histopathologically confirmed cervical lymphadenopathy, including 35 patients with reactive lymphadenitis and 103 patients with nodal lymphoma, who had neck MRI ( = 63) and/or F-FDG-PET/CT ( = 123) before biopsy. The quantitative and qualitative MRI results and maximum standardised uptake value (SUV) were retrospectively analysed and compared between the 2 pathologies.
