The testis shows physiologic uptake in flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of FDG uptake of normal testis on PET/computed tomography (CT), especially in relationship to various clinical parameters. We obtained the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and the mean standardized uptake value (SUVmea...

Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative condition of the nervous system, which manifests itself primarily as muscle stiffness, hypokinesia, bradykinesia, and tremor. In patients suffering from advanced stages of PD, Deep Brain Stimulation neurosurgery (DBS) is the best alternative to medical treatment, especially when they become tolerant to the drugs. This surgery produces a neuronal activi...

Background:HbA1c is an established diagnostic index which is used to assess diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between HbA1c level with the types of stroke as well as the extent and functional status of ischemic stroke (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) in patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 120 pa...

Functional encryption is a new paradigm of public-key encryption that allows a user to compute f (x) on encrypted data CT (x) with a private key SK f to finely control the revealed information. Multi-input functional encryption is an important extension of (single-input) functional encryption that allows the computation f (x1, . . . ,xn) on multiple ciphertexts CT (x1), . . . ,CT (xn) with a pr...

In the management of patients with lymphoma, imaging is essential not only for diagnosis but also to define prognosis and treatment by staging. Imaging is also used to assess the response to treatment that may affect the treatment strategy: new chemotherapeutic drug combinations and autologous stem cell transplantation. These different therapies have increased the need for higher accuracy to as...
