Pseudocirrhosis refers to a condition that shows changes in hepatic contour that mimic cirrhosis radiographically in the absence of the typical histopathological findings of cirrhosis. This condition has been observed in patients with cancer metastatic to the liver, both in those who have undergone prior systemic chemotherapy and those who have not. Pseudocirrhosis may cause difficulty in inter...

OBJECTIVES Subjective tinnitus has associated with abnormal brain metabolism and perfusion found in functional imaging studies by fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and technetium99m (TC99m). But there is no study evaluating the association of brain metabolism and perfusion abnormalities in a group of these subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate if there is any significant correlation between...

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is increasingly used as an adjunct to clinical evaluation in the diagnosis of dementia. Considering that most FDG-PET studies in dementia use clinical diagnosis as gold standard and that clinical diagnosis is approximately 80% sensitive or accurate, we aim to review the evidence-based data on the diagnostic accuracy of...

Tiêm mao F18 đóng vai trò quan trọng giúp Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) bám vào ruột và tiết độc tố gây bệnh tiêu chảy heo con sau cai sữa (post-weaning diarrhea, PWD). Vaccine là một cách thức hữu hiệu, kinh tế khả thi phòng chống ETEC trên heo. Việc phát triển vaccine uống, tạo miễn dịch niêm mạc thông qua nhắm trúng đích bào M đang được tâm. Nhiều nghiên cứu cho thấy Hsp60 có năng ...

TLR4 is the main recognition receptor of bacterial lipopolysaccharides, which play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity. We used real-time PCR to analyze the tissue expression profile and differential expression of TLR4 in 4 pig populations (Escherichia coli F18-resistant Sutai, E. coli F18-sensitive Sutai, Large White, Meishan), in order to determine the role that the TLR4 gene pl...

The existence of the cyclotron & PET centre of UJV Rez, a.s., at Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute allows the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute and RECAMO researchers to engage in the research, development and application of new radiopharmaceuticals including compounds labelled by short-living positron emitters (especially [11C]). Currently, a [11C]-labelled tracer, L-[methyl-11C]methionine, is...
