Distinguishing Active Vasculitis From Sterile Inflammation and Graft Infection: A Call for a More Specific Imaging Target.
F luorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is an indicator of vascular macrophage or leukocyte burden that has been reported in atherosclerosis, infection, large-artery vasculitis, chemotherapyor radiation-induced vascular inflammation, and foreign-body reaction (1). FDG positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging may detect early phases of large-artery vasculitis before progression to arterial narr...
متن کاملLight active and sterile neutrinos from compositeness
Neutrinos can have naturally small Dirac masses if the Standard Model singlet right-handed neutrinos are light composite fermions. Theories which produce light composite fermions typically generate many of them, three of which can marry the left-handed neutrinos with small Dirac masses. The rest can serve as sterile states which can mix with the Standard Model neutrinos. We present explicit mod...
متن کاملEfficacy of 99mTc-Ciprofloxacin and 67Ga-Citrate scintigraphy to discriminate infection foci induced by Staphylococcus aureus from sterile inflammation induced by Carrageenan in rat
Introduction: This study was launched to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of 99mTc-Ciprofloxacin to distinguish infection foci induced by staphylococcus aureus and inflammation lesions induced by carrageenan in the rat foot in comparison with 67Ga-Citrate scintigraphy. Methods: The labeling and quality control of 99mTc-Ciprofloxacin kits have been perfo...
متن کاملDistinguishing Characteristics of Primary Retinal Vasculitis from Eales Disease
Retinal vasculitis is a poorly characterized, potentially sight-threatening, inflammatory ocular condition that occurs when there is the presence of abnormal blood vessels in the retina. The annual incidence of retinal vasculitis in the United States is estimated at 1-2 per 100,000 with variation between regions. Because it is not well understood, the definition of “retinal vasculitis” is not w...
متن کامل99mtc-Ubiquicidin [29–41], a Promising Radiopharmaceutical to Differentiate Orthopedic Implant Infections from Sterile Inflammation
Ubiquicidin (UBI) [29-41] is a synthetic cationic antimicrobial peptide that preferentially binds to bacterial cell membrane at the site of infection. We aimed to assess diagnostic value of 99mTc-UBI [29-41] as a radiopharmaceutical in differentiation of bacterial infection from sterile inflammation in suspected orthopedic implants. Nine patients suspected for orthopedic implant infection, all ...
