<p>Background</p><p>Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant disease with an enigmatic etiology. NPC associates with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomaviruses (HPVs), while immunological factors also play a ...
A Prospective Comparison of 18F-prostate-specific Membrane Antigen-1007 Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography, Whole-body 1.5 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Diffusion-weighted Imaging, and Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography with Traditional Imaging in Primary Distant Metastasis Staging of Prostate Cancer (PROSTAGE)
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy (BS) are the imaging modalities currently used for distant metastasis staging of prostate cancer (PCa).</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To ...
Iodine status in pregnant women and infants in Finland
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Iodine insufficiency during pregnancy may adversely influence fetal growth and development. There is a lack of information on iodine status in pregnant women and infants in many countries ...
Bone Marrow Metabolism Is Impaired in Insulin Resistance and Improves After Exercise Training
<p><strong>Context: </strong>Exercise training improves bone mineral density, but little is known about the effects of training on bone marrow (BM) metabolism. BM insulin sensitivity has been suggested to play an important ...
A Comparative 68Ga-Citrate and 68Ga-Chloride PET/CT Imaging of Staphylococcus aureus Osteomyelitis in the Rat Tibia
There may be some differences in the in vivo behavior of Ga-68-chloride and Ga-68-citrate leading to different accumulation profiles. This study compared Ga-68-citrate and Ga-68-chloride PET/CT imaging under standardized ...

<p>We evaluated the effects of fish oil and/or probiotic supplementation in a randomized placebo-controlled intervention pilot trial on gestational weight gain (GWG) and body composition. Additionally, the influence of ...
Foundations of human consciousness: Imaging the twilight zone
<p>What happens in the brain when conscious awareness of the surrounding world fades? We manipulated consciousness in two experiments in a group of healthy males and measured brain activity with positron emission tomography. ...
Aluminum fluoride-18 labeled folate enables in vivo detection of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation by positron emission tomography
Inflammation plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and its complications. Because the folate receptor beta (FR-beta) is selectively expressed on macrophages, an FR targeted imaging agent could be ...
Different Predictors of Right and Left Ventricular Metabolism in Healthy Middle-Aged Men
<p>
Dysfunction of the right ventricle (RV) plays a crucial role in the outcome of various cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies on RV metabolism are sparse although evidence implies it may differ from left ventricular ...
