Failure of follow-up gallium single-photon emission computed tomography and fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography to predict the deterioration of a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although gallium-67-citrate (67Ga) scanning and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are useful in the assessment of disease activity in cardiac sarcoidosis, a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis in whom SPECT imaging with 67Ga failed to predict the deterioration in the clinical course is

[Fluorine as a factor in premature aging].

Only registered users can translate articles

The use of fluorine compounds in various areas of medicine, particularly in dentistry, as well as in agriculture and industry became very popular in the second half of the 20th century. Fluorine owed this widespread acceptance to observations that its compounds stimulate ossification processes and

Incremental Role of Fluorine 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Assessment of Computed Tomography-Inconspicuous Pancreatic Lesions.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Pancreatic malignancies encompass a heterogenous group of disorders, with poor prognosis at diagnosis. Traditionally, conventional computed tomography (CT) has been used for diagnosis, staging, and follow up. However, this technique lacks functional information; and is limited in

Clinical, fluorine-18 labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET), MRI of the brain and biochemical observations in a patient with 4-hydroxybutyric aciduria; a progressive neurometabolic disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a five-year-old boy with 4-hydroxybutyric aciduria. The child presented with global developmental delay, severe hypotonia and myoclonic seizures. The urine 4-hydroxybutyric acid was 1038 times that of normal, and other organic acids related to its further metabolism were also increased.

Functional importance of ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy in healthy subjects and alcoholics as assessed with PET, MR imaging, and neuropsychologic testing.

Only registered users can translate articles

The authors assessed the relationship between ventricular enlargement, cortical atrophy, regional brain glucose metabolism, and neuropsychologic performance in 10 alcoholics and 10 control subjects. Regional brain glucose metabolism was measured with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and positron

Efficacy of 18F-FDG and 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging: A novel semi-quantitative assessment of the effects of age and obesity on hip joint inflammation and bone degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by synovial tissue inflammation and underlying bone degeneration in the joints. Aging and obesity are among the major risk factors. This study evaluated the effects of aging and body mass index (BMI) on hip joint inflammation and bone degeneration using

The effect of fluorine substitution on ring inversion in bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Degenerate ring inversion in bicyclo[1.1.0]butane and eight of its fluorinated derivatives has been studied at the B3LYP/6-311G**+ level of theory. Fluorine substitution lowers the inversion barrier impressively; reasons for this phenomenon are discussed.

Use of fluorine-doped silicon oxide for temperature compensation of radio frequency surface acoustic wave devices.

Only registered users can translate articles

This paper investigates acoustic properties, including the temperature coefficient of elasticity (TCE), of fluorine-doped silicon oxide (SiOF) films and proposes the application of the films to the temperature compensation of RF SAW devices. From Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), SiOF

Abnormal fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in benign esophageal leiomyoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

A benign esophageal leiomyoma with abnormally increased fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography (PET) was resected thoracoscopically. The tumor, of which the maximum standardized uptake value of the lesion was 4.7, was well defined and 38 mm in diameter. Neither mitotic

Imaging of lung cancer with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose: comparison of a dual-head gamma camera in coincidence mode with a full-ring positron emission tomography system.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dual-head gamma cameras operated in coincidence mode are a new approach for tumour imaging using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of such a camera system in comparison with a full-ring positron emission tomography (PET) system in

Dobutamine stress echocardiography and technetium-99m-tetrofosmin/fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose single-photon emission computed tomography and influence of resting ejection fraction to assess myocardial viability in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and healed myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to compare 2 different techniques--dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography (DSE) and dual-isotope simultaneous acquisition (technetium-99-m-tetrofosmin/fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose) single-photon emission computed tomography (DISA-SPECT)--for assessment of viable

Cholangiocarcinoma associated with limbic encephalitis and early cerebral abnormalities detected by 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose integrated with computed tomography-positron emission tomography: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Limbic encephalitis was originally described as a rare clinical neuropathological entity involving seizures and neuropsychological disturbances. In this report, we describe cerebral patterns visualized by positron emission tomography in a patient with limbic encephalitis and

Corticosteroid-induced dermal atrophy in the rat.

Only registered users can translate articles

Corticosteroid-induced dermal atrophy has been studied in the rat using daily application of ethanolic solutions to small areas of flank skin. After 12 days of treatment, the degree of atrophy was determined by comparing the weights of skin plugs (16 mm diameter) taken from the treated areas with

[Health effects of fluorine and its compounds].

Only registered users can translate articles

Fluoride, the ionic form of fluorine, is a natural component of the biosphere and 13th most abundant element in the crust of the earth. It is, therefore, found in a wide range of concentrations in virtually all inanimate and living things. Many trace elements perform a definite function in human

Identification and quantification of fluorine-containing metabolites of 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC133A) in the rat by 19F-NMR spectroscopy.

1-Chloro-2,2,2-trifluorethane (HCFC133a) causes a reduction in testis weight and germinal epithelial cell atrophy in the rat following exposure by inhalation at concentrations of 10,000 ppm and above. Following administration by gavage, an increased incidence of Leydig cell tumors of the testis was
