introduction: differentiation between infection and sterile inflammation is one of the most difficult medical problems and is relevant in many clinical situations. scintigraphy with radiolabeled antibiotics, еspecially labeled fluoroquinolones, is a promising tool for diagnosing bacterial inflammation. we have attempted to synthesize 99mtc-norfloxacin and studied its properties in experiment. m...

INTRODUCTION Oncolytic viruses show promise for treating cancer. However, to assess therapy and potential toxicity, a noninvasive imaging modality is needed. This study aims to determine the in vivo biodistribution, and imaging and timing characteristics of a vaccinia virus, GLV-1h153, encoding the human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS. METHODS GLV-1h153 was modified from GLV-1h68 to encode the...

Stannous dichloride (SnCl(2)) occurs in the environment where it has been especially enriched in aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, it is used in food manufacturing (e.g. for stabilizing soft drinks or as an anti-corrosive substance) and in nuclear medicine where it is employed as a reducing agent for technecium-99m (99mTc) and therefore is applied intravenously to human beings. SnCl(2) is known ...

OBJECTIVE To report oncological cases (excluding those related to breast cancer) for which radioguided surgery has been used in combination with the Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization technique. INTRODUCTION Radioguided surgery enables a surgeon to identify lesions or tissues that have been preoperatively marked with radioactive substances. The Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization techn...

Letters Letters Letters Letters Letters into a 50-mL volume of broth reduces the concentration of inhibitory factors, facilitating isolation of the organism (4). In 1993, we reported results of routine use of blood-culture bottles for processing cultures of exudates (7) at the 25 children with invasive K. kingae infections, defined as isolation of the organism from blood or normally sterile bod...

Destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis includes various painful diseases such as subacute granulomatous thyroiditis, acute exacerbation of chronic thyroiditis and acute suppurative thyroiditis. In contrast, the clinically painless form of destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis is almost exclusively restricted to painless or silent thyroiditis. We report what we believe to be a case of acute exacerbatio...
