BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to assess whether ultra-fast acquisition SPECT/CT (UF-SPECT/CT) can replace standard SPECT/CT (std-SPECT/CT) as "add-on" to whole-body bone scintigraphy (WB-BS) for the investigation of bone metastases. Consecutive cancer patients referred for WB-BS who underwent SPECT/CT in addition to WB-BS were included. Std-SPECT, UF-SPECT, and low-dose CT were performed ...

Circulating IGF-I is correlated with fitness, but results of prospective exercise training studies have been inconsistent, showing both increases and decreases in IGF-I. We hypothesized that energy balance, often not accounted for, is a regulating variable such that training plus an energy intake deficit would cause a reduction in IGF-I, whereas training plus energy intake excess would lead to ...

BACKGROUND Low molecular weight (LMW) heparins are used for anticoagulation during hemodialysis (HD). Studies in animals have shown that LMW-heparins release lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as efficiently as unfractionated (UF) heparin, but are less able to retard hepatic uptake of the lipase. This raises a concern that the LPL system may become exhausted by LMW-heparin in patients on HD. We have expl...

Membrane processes in drinking water applications are micro(MF), ultra(UF), and nanofiltration (NF). These processes remove turbidity and bacteria (MF), viruses and macromolecules (UF) and small molecules and hardness (NF). Of particular concern in water treatment is the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) which contains potential disinfection by-product precursors. The presence of colloids...

We consider solutions uf to the one-dimensional Robin problem with heat source f∈L1[−π,π] and parameter α>0. For given m, M, s, 0≤m<s<M, we identify sources f0, such that uf0 maximizes temperature gap max[−π,π]⁡uf−min[−π,π]⁡uf over all f m≤f≤M ‖f‖L1=2πs. In particular, this answers a question raised by J. Langford P. McDonald in [5]. also sources, which maximize/minimize at point x0∈[−π,π] same...
