UNLABELLED Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can be visualized using radiolabeled somatostatin analogs. We have previously shown the clinical potential of (64)Cu-DOTATATE in a small first-in-human feasibility study. The aim of the present study was, in a larger prospective design, to compare on a head-to-head basis the performance of (64)Cu-DOTATATE and (111)In-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DT...

Use of saline water for irrigation has shown considerable promise. However, its effect on the solubility and bioavailability of native soil nutrients is not well understood. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of salinity on the behavior of zinc(Zn) in calcareous soils. The soil samples with different physiochemical properties were collected from four locations in Khorasan province...

Copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) are two most important micronutrients, essential to living organisms through their involvement in different enzymes other biologically active molecules. An experiment was conducted at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi investigate impact various fertilizers manurial treatments on DTPA-extractable Cu Mn soil concentration gr...

iron (in zero-valent and oxide forms) is used to remove numerous organic and inorganic contaminants in environment. however, there are few reports, especially in nano scale, on the remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils using zero-valent iron in the literature. in this study, the effect of iron on the availability of heavy metals was evaluated in a calcareous soil spiked with cadmium, z...

Acidic soils need to be improved of pH in order maintian sustainable agricultural production. In ameliorate the pH, lime, available Ca and some other properties acidic soils, materials that increase soil value are needed. One these organic substances is gyttja. Gyttja contains 30-40% CaCO3 40-50% matter, which generated as waste Af?in Elbistan thermal power plant its reserve estimated 4.8 billi...

Phytoremediation is a promising approach for cleaning up soils contaminated with heavy metals. Information is needed to understand growth response and uptake mechanisms of heavy metals by some plant species with exceptional capability in absorbing and superaccumulating metals from soils. Greenhouse study, field trial, and old mined area survey were conducted to evaluate growth response and Cu p...
