(Society of Nuclear Medicine, Inc., 2013-02-14)(18)F-FDG PET/CT is used in a variety of cancers, but because of variable rates of glucose metabolism, not all cancers are reliably identified. (18)F(-) PET/CT allows for the acquisition of highly sensitive and specific ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-07)Platinum agents continue to be the main chemotherapeutic agents used in the first-line and second-line treatments of cancer patients. It is important to fully understand the biological profile of these compounds in order ...
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2013-08)The goal of targeted radionuclide therapy is to selectively deliver radiation to cancer cells and/or diseased tissue with minimal toxicity to surrounding normal tissues. The basis for successful radionuclide therapy is a ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-09)The intersection and syndemic interaction between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics have global prevalence with devastatingmorbidity andmassive mortality. Using FDG-PET imaging it was ...
-
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013-12)BACKGROUND : South African nuclear medicine imaging departments have been fortunate in being able to receive an uninterrupted supply of molybdenum-99 (99Mo)/technetium-99m (99mTc) generators. Nuclear medicine radiographers ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2013-12)Bacterial infections have always been, and still are, a major global healthcare problem. For accurate treatment it is of utmost importance that the location(s), severity, type of bacteria, and therapeutic response can ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)No abstract
-
(Society of Nuclear Medicine, 2014-02)Antimicrobial peptides such as ubiquicidin (UBI) are believed to differentiate between mammalian and bacterial or fungal cells. (99m)Tc-UBI29-41 was previously tested for detecting infection in humans using SPECT. For the ...
-
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2014-05)PURPOSE OF REVIEW : To review the main applications, advantages and limitations of 18F-FDG PET and PET/computed tomography (CT), and some other tracers in imaging of tuberculosis (TB). RECENT FINDINGS : In pulmonary TB, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014-05)INTRODUCTION: Human antimicrobial peptides are of interest for the development of positron emission tomography (PET) tracers as they exhibit desirable characteristics that make them good candidates for targeting vectors. ...
-
(Springer, 2014-07)We sought to determine whether PET/CT imaging with 68Ga-citrate could be of value in distinguishing benign from malignant lung pathology in a setting with a high prevalence of granulomatous diseases. METHODS : ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014-08)Chemical modification of biomolecules like the introduction of metal-chelators into proteins can lead to heterogeneous product formation. The nature and extend of the modification is important in interpreting the biological ...
-
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014-08)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a heterogeneous class of compounds found in a variety of organisms including humans and, so far, hundreds of these structures have been isolated and characterised. They can be described ...
-
(Hindawi Publishing, 2015)Noninvasive imaging is a powerful tool for early diagnosis and monitoring of various disease processes, such as infections. An alarming shortage of infection-selective radiopharmaceuticals exists for overcoming the diagnostic ...
-
(British Institute of Radiology, 2015)Positron emission tomography (PET) has become widely established in oncology. Subsequently, a whole new “toolbox” of tracers have become available to look at different aspects of cancer cell function and dysfunction, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015-02)To date, the precise role of the human microbiome in health and disease states remains largely undefined. Complex and selective crosstalk systems between the microbiome and mammalian cells are also not yet reported. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015-02)PURPOSE : A planar multi-gated cardiac blood pool acquisition is a non-invasive technique commonly used to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). It is essential that the calculation of LVEF be accurate, ...
-
(Allergy Society of South Africa, 2015-03)Immunologic reactions to radiopharmaceuticals are usually mild and transient and require little or no medical treatment. As the usage of radiopharmaceuticals has increased, the reported adverse reactions remain ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-17)The role of the human microbiome on cancer progression remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the influence of some quorum sensing peptides, produced by diverse commensal or pathogenic bacteria, on ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2015-08-14)Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a type II glycoprotein, is highly expressed in almost all prostate cancers. By playing such a universal role in the disease, PSMA provides a target for diagnostic imaging of ...
