Positive Ethnic Identity Content Among Adolescents With Minority Ethnic Backgrounds Living in Sweden
ABSTRACT Previous research on adolescents with minority ethnic backgrounds has often centered on risks and vulnerabilities due to the effects of racism in society. This however leaves a gap in the literature when it comes to positive aspects of ethnic identity, and the gap is even more pronounced when it comes to European contexts since the few ...

Lung 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy: impact on diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodule
Most of today available non-invasive procedures cannot clearly determinate between benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). The purpose of the study was to assess the possibility of using 99mTc labeled hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ...

Complete improvement in a patient with multiple irreversible defects of the left ventricle on 99m technetium-sestamibi SPECT after percutaneous coronary intervention. [PDF]
99mTc-sestamibi has been investigated as a potential viability marker; initial studies have shown good concordance between 201Tl and 99mTc-sestamibi activities in both viable and nonviable myocardium.

[99mTc]sestamibi ([99mTc][Tc(MIBI)6]+; MIBI = 2-methoxybutylisonitrile) is a clinically established myocardial perfusion SPECT tracer. Its one-pot kit-based synthesis from [99mTc]pertechnetate ([99mTc][TcO4]−) is complex, involving a 6-oxidation state ...

Breast cancer detected as an incidental finding on Tc-MIBI scintigraphy
We report a case of breast cancer detected as an incidental finding on 99m Tc-MIBI scintigraphy. 99m Tc-MIBI scintigraphy is usually used to evaluate cardiac perfusion or to detect ectopic parathyroid adenomas; however, it is also known to sensitively ...

Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile scintigraphy in the assessment of cold thyroid nodules: is it time to change the approach to the management of cold thyroid nodules? [PDF]
methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) is recommended for evaluating thyroid nodule metabolism. In addition, it may help differentiate between benign and malignant nodules; however, the efficacy of this technique has not been fully elucidated ...
