Abstract

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by the progressive damage of frontal and temporal brain regions. These networks largely overlap with those involved in pain and temperature processing. Although the impaired perception of pain and temperature has been previously described to be relatively common in patients with FTD, these symptoms are often not consistently assessed by Neurologists. We present the case of a patient with a probable behavioral variant FTD who died due to scalding with hot water in the shower. Impairments in the perception of pain and temperature might have played a fundamental role in this accident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aim The identification of the vulnerable atheroma plaque could allow a more effective treatment of cerebrovascular accident ( CVA). Active calcification and inflammation of the carotid atheroma were assessed and compared in symptomatic and asymptomatic plaques by 18F-NaF and 18F- FDG PET/ CT. Methods Nine patients investigated for recent CVA and no preventive treatment with statins were enrolled. In each patient, at least one atheroma plaque was detected by CT angiogram. In total, 18 plaques were available: 9 symptomatic and 9 asymptomatic. 18F-NaF uptake and 18F- FDG uptake by each plaque were assessed visually and semiquantitatively by calculating target/background ratios ( TBRs) and TBR indexes ( TBR symptomatic/ TBR asymptomatic and 18F-NaF TBR/18F- FDG TBR within each of the 2 clinical groups of plaques). Results All plaques showed 18F-NaF and 18F- FDG uptake, and semiquantitation showed higher 18F-NaF uptake by 11 of the 18 plaques, 6 symptomatic and 5 asymptomatic. In the symptomatic group, the mean 18F-NaF TBR was 2·12 ± 0·44, and in the asymptomatic group, it was 1·85 ± 0·46. The 18F-NaF/18F- FDG showed that, overall, 18F-NaF uptake is higher than 18F- FDG. In the symptomatic plaques, the 18F-NaF was higher for the low calcium content and the lowest for the high. Conclusion Active calcification and inflammation are simultaneous processes in the symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid atheroma. However, active calcification seems predominant over inflammation in both groups. In the symptomatic plaques, the highest 18F-NaF uptake does not correspond with the largest calcium content. These patterns open new insights on the role of 18F-NaF in the study of calcification and in the identification of the vulnerable carotid atheroma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of semiquantitative analysis of 180-min F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT images for the assessment of aortitis in cases of suspected large vessel vasculitis (LVV) and to establish a threshold index for application in the clinical setting. Methods: This prospective study included 43 patients (mean age 67.5 ± 12.9 years) with suspicion of LVV (25 with a final diagnosis of aortitis). F-FDG PET/CT scan was acquired 180 min after injection of 7 MBq/kg of F-FDG. A semiquantitative analysis was performed calculating the aortic wall maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) (T), the lumen SUV (B) and the target to background ratio (TBR). These results were also compared with those obtained in a control population. Results: The mean aortic wall SUV was 2.00 ± 0.62 for patients with aortitis and 1.45 ± 0.31 for patients without aortitis ( p < 0.0001). The TBR was 1.66 ± 0.26 for patients with aortitis and 1.24 ± 0.08 for patients without aortitis ( p < 0.0001). The differences were also statistically significant when the patients with aortitis and controls were compared. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the area under the curve was greater for the TBR than for the aortic wall SUV (0.997 vs 0.871). The highest sensitivity and specificity was obtained for a TBR of 1.34 (sensitivity 100 %, specificity 94.4 %). Conclusion: Semiquantitative analysis of PET/CT images acquired 180 min after F-FDG injection and the TBR index of 1.34 show very high accuracy and, therefore, are strongly recommended for the diagnosis of aortitis in the clinical setting.

Abstract

The diagnostic significance of esophageal 18F-FDG uptake in oncologic patient is challenging. It may represent normal physiological uptake, inflammation, infection, or neoplasia. We present a patient with a recent diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer stage IV and esophageal mild uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. Biopsy of esophageal mucosa demonstrated Candida esophagitis.
