objective(s): the ability to measure cellular proliferation non-invasively in renal cell carcinoma may allow prediction of tumour aggressiveness and response to therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 18ffluorothymidine (flt) pet in renal cell carcinoma (rcc), and to compare this to 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg), and to an immunohistochemical measure of cellular proliferatio...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to analyze detection rates and effectiveness of 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (fdg-pet) cancer screening program for prostate cancer in japan, which is defined as a cancer-screening program for subjects without known cancer. it contains fdg-pet aimed at detection of cancer at an early stage with or without additional screening tests ...

background: to retrospectively describe imaging characteristics of liver metastases on fused fdg-pet/ mri data sets and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of mri and fused fdg-pet/mri data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment. materials and methods: 43 oncological patients (mean age: 56+/- 11 years) were investigated by fdg-pet/ct and l...

pp/pep blends, because of different solubility factors, are incompatible. the aim of this research was to use pp-g-ma compatibilizer in a two-component blend. after preparing this compatibilizer in internal mixer and investigating different parameters on producing process, optimum compatibilization was obtained. pp/pet (60/40) blend fibers with different percentages of this compatibilizer in tw...

This paper presents the influence of Hybrane H 1500 as a hyperbranched polymer on kinetic parameters of dyeing compounded fiber grade PET polyethylene terephthalate at boil temperature. C.I. Disperse Red 324 as a disperse dye was used for dyeing compounded fiber grade PET. The result was compared with corresponding properties of virgin PET. The dyeing rate constants and diffusion coefficients a...
