Although gadolinium has been the dominant paramagnetic metal for MR paramagnetic contrast agents, the recent association of this lanthanide with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, an untreatable disease, has spawned renewed interest in alternative metals for MR molecular imaging. We have developed a self-assembled, manganese(III)-labeled nanobialys (1), a toroidal-shaped MR theranostic nanoparticle...
There is growing recognition of the association between the use of gadolinium-containing radiocontrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and the serious dermal and systemic disease nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy/nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NFD/NSF). The pathogenesis of this entity remains unclear; however, our recent observations suggest a likely mechanism for the initial dermal manife...
UNLABELLED Background. Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a severe complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) characterized by the development of an extensive fibrosis of the visceral peritoneum that may eventually lead to intestinal constriction. Its cause remains elusive. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), a disabling disease that can follow gadolinium-based contrast inject...
Eleven patients with intracranial tumors were investigated with MR imaging at different dose levels of gadolinium-DTPA to determine a safe and effective dose for imaging intracranial tumors. The patients were divided into two groups. Baseline spin-echo images were obtained with a repetition time of 800 msec and an echo time of 35 msec, and a total of 0.1 mmol of gadolinium-DTPA/kg (six patients...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To review the safety and efficacy of gadolinium as a contrast agent in spine pain management procedures in patients who are at high risk for a contrast reaction and are therefore unacceptable candidates for the use of standard nonionic contrast. METHODS We reviewed our records over a 4-year period of interlaminar and foraminal epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, ...
IMPORTANCE A new condition, gadolinium-associated plaques (GAP), is reported in 2 patients. It is related to a particular type of gadolinium (gadodiamide) used for contrast-enhanced radiologic studies. OBSERVATIONS Erythematous plaques, 0.5 to 2.5 cm in diameter, were pruritic in one case and asymptomatic in a second case. Findings from the histopathologic examination revealed eosinophilic, c...
The exercise pressor reflex, which arises from the contraction-induced stimulation of group III and IV muscle afferents, is widely believed to be evoked by metabolic stimuli signaling a mismatch between blood/oxygen demand and supply in the working muscles. Nevertheless, mechanical stimuli may also play a role in evoking the exercise pressor reflex. To determine this role, we examined the effec...
Gadolinium neutron capture therapy (Gd-NCT) is an experimental cancer treatment based on the physical principal that neutron capture by gadolinium-157 ensures the release of focal high-dose radiation, such as Á-rays and electrons. Survival and induction of chromosomal aberrations of human SW-1573 cells was studied after thermal neutron irradiation without and with gadolinium. After neutron irra...
Gadolinium-DTPA MR imaging (Gd-MR), unenhanced MR imaging, and contrast-enhanced CT studies were compared prospectively in six patients with surgically confirmed pituitary adenomas and three patients without sellar pathology to determine the utility of Gd-MR in the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma. In normal patients, the pituitary gland, cavernous sinus, and infundibulum enhanced by T1 shortenin...
