Background: Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with incidence and prevalence rates of 8–18 per 100,000 people per year and 0.3–1%, respectively. As parkinsonian symptoms do not appear until approximately 50–60% of the nigral

Pheochromocytoma – clinical manifestations, diagnosis and current perioperative management [PDF]
Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor characterized by the excessive production of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine). The diagnosis is suspected due to hypertensive paroxysms, associated with vegetative phenomena, due to the

I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine Myocardial Scintigraphy in Lewy Body-Related Disorders: A Literature Review [PDF]
Lewy body-related disorders are characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, which have abnormal aggregations of α-synuclein in the nigral and extranigral areas, including in the heart.

Cardiac MIBG Scintigraphy in Neurodegenerative Parkinsonism: Limitations in Clinical Practice
Abstract Background Reduced cardiac uptake on 123Iodine‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy is a valuable tool for differentiating neurodegenerative parkinsonism but interpretation can be difficult due to comorbidities and drug‐tracer interactions.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

[(123)I]metaiodobenzylguanidine and [(111)In]octreotide uptake in begnign and malignant pheochromocytomas [PDF]
Selecting the appropriate approach for resection and follow-up of pheochromocytomas (PCCs) is highly dependent upon reliable localization and exclusion of multifocal, bilateral, or metastatic disease ...

[Pheocromocytoma with negative MIBG].
Pheochomocytomas are catecholamine-releasing tumors derived from chromaffin cells. These kind of tumors occur in less than 1% of the patients evaluated for hypertension. The authors present a case of pheochomocytoma difficult to localize because MIBG scintigraphy was negative and elaborate a review about that subject.

ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a new method for free‐running three‐dimensional (3D) extracellular volume mapping of the heart in a single scan with mid‐scan contrast injection. Methods 3D cardiac MR imaging was performed with a single scan that acquired k‐space data continuously using an inversion recovery (IR) sequence with a spoiled gradient‐echo ...

Introduction: Cardiac sympathetic denervation is specific to Lewy body disease (LBD). In Parkinson’s disease (PD), sympathetic denervation in the major salivary glands (parotid glands [PG] and submandibular glands [SMG]) has been demonstrated by 123I ...
