Abstract

Both thallium 201 and technetium 99m sestamibi have been used to quantitate infarct size at rest. Exercise 201Tl scintigraphy has been shown to have powerful prognostic information after myocardial infarction. A single study using these agents that could provide data on infarct size and prognosis would be of value. The purpose of this study was to compare estimates of infarct size by use of 201Tl and 99mTc sestamibi and to correlate these measurements with left ventricular ejection fraction in patients after acute myocardial infarction. The study group consisted of 20 patients who underwent low-level 201Tl stress studies with reinjection and 99mTc sestamibi resting studies within 4 days. Acute reperfusion was attempted in 18 of 20 patients. For 99mTc sestamibi tomographic imaging, infarct size was quantitated with 60% of maximal counts per slice for five short-axis slices as described in multiple previous studies. The postreinjection delayed 201Tl images acquired 4 hours after stress were quantitated according to the same threshold method. 201Tl patient images were also quantitated with a commercially available polar map program and compared with sex-matched control subjects. Ejection fraction was determined for each patient by...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
