In terms of therapy, it is important to know which trajectory a particular carcinoma will follow because of tangible opportunities for drugs to reroute cellular fates towards the first or at least second outcome. These mathematical models have a distinct advantage over clinical observations and cell ...
In clinical routine, SUVmax and SUVpeak are most often used to determine the glucose metabolism in tumours by 18F-FDG PET/CT. Both metrics can be further normalised to SUVs in reference regions resulting in a SUV ratio (SUVratio). The aim of the study was to directly compare several wide...
In the past few years, however, there has been increasing interest in developing imaging methods that provide quantitative data related to vessel wall structure and function. Not only does this improve longitudinal monitoring of the progression of atherosclerosis; it also provides sensitive disease ...
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has proven to be a useful tool for characterising tumours and defin- ing white matter anatomy, as DTI can non-invasively trace neuronal tracts in the brain and spine. Not only does DTI enable visualisation of important white matter tracts in the brain, but it ...
Here we used PET and FDG to compare the brain metabolic responses (a marker of brain function) to methylphenidate (a stimulant drug that cocaine abusers report to be similar to cocaine when administered intravenously), between cocaine addicted subjects (n=21) and controls (n=15). In paral- ...
Although it is well known that the nature of a suicidal act (suicide attempt or completed suicide) may be influenced by gender, age, availability of a lethal mean and specific suicidal dimensions, such as suicidal intent and medical lethality, these behaviors seem to have more in common and ...
cal—background calibration factor, ∆Atot—total activity deviation, COV—coefficient of variation used for image noise assessment, QH—hot contrast, AM—accuracy of measurements, or RC—recovery coefficient) for the validation of SPECT/CT system performance in terms of correct quantitative ...
In Group C, there was a mean increase of 16.5% relative to basal measurements, which was not statistically significant. Table 2. -Homocysteine (µmol/l) and C-reactive protein (ng/l) levels of the participants during the study. Group Empty CellA (unopposed estrogen, n = 30) Empty Cell...
in the PUBMED/Scopus database. Our search included several terms related to AI and urooncology. Articles were selected with the consensus of all authors. Results: Several types of AI can be used in the medical field. The most common forms of AI are machine learning (ML), deep learning (...
Randomized trials do not suggest a clear benefit in terms of efficacy for these combinations (Table 1), whereas some safety concerns were raised for some of these combinations. Currently, several trials are assessing the combination of everolimus with other treatment strategies such as PRRT, ...
