Notes

A new retrospective research involving 44 people together with neck and head Castleman's illness.
The study of this understudied group of viruses addresses a need for basic characterization of viruses that have not yet reached epidemic transmission intensity, but that have the potential due to their infectivity to both human and animal hosts. These results lay the groundwork for future studies of these neglected viruses of potential public and One Health importance.
As food insecurity among college students in the United States continues to rise, large quantities of food are wasted on college campuses. This paper presents a simple, low-cost approach to address both issues, using an electronic learning management system to connect college students with good quality excess food.
Students at a small East Coast urban university.
Using the MAP-IT framework, a university-wide food rescue system was developed to alert students to obtain food.
During the first twelve months of implementation, 451 students enrolled to receive announcements. 78% of students reported satisfaction with the food obtained.
This program was successful in providing students with access to desirable food that would otherwise have been wasted.

Peripheral nerve injury can occur in patients with COVID-19 secondary to postinfectious inflammatory neuropathy, prone positioning-related stretch and/or compression injury, systemic neuropathy, or nerve entrapment from hematoma. Imaging of peripheral nerves in patients with COVID-19 may help to characterize nerve abnormality, to identify site and severity of nerve damage, and to potentially elucidate mechanisms of injury, thereby aiding the medical diagnosis and decision-making process. This review article aims to provide a first comprehensive summary of the current knowledge of COVID-19 and peripheral nerve imaging.Background Accurate clinical staging is crucial to managing gastrointestinal cancer, but fluorine 18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT has limitations. Targeting fibroblast-activation protein is a newer diagnostic approach for the visualization of tumor stroma, and gallium 68 (68Ga)-labeled fibroblast-activation protein inhibitors (FAPIs), hereafter 68Ga-FAPIs, present a promising alternative to 18F-FDG. Purpose To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in primary and metastatic lesions of gastrointestinal malignancies with that of 18F-FDG PET/CT. Telomerase inhibitor Materials and Methods Images from patients with gastric, duodenal, and colorectal cancers who underwent contemporaneous 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT between October 2019 through June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI uptakes were compared by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The McNemar test was used to compare the diagnostic performance between the two techniques. Results Thirty-five patients (median age, 64 years [interqum 68 fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor PET/CT was superior to fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in the detection of primary and metastatic lesions in gastric, duodenal, and colorectal cancers, with higher tracer uptake in most primary and metastatic lesions.

Purpose To determine if arterial spin labeled (ASL) MRI perfusion changes are associated with tumor response and disease progression in metastatic RCC treated with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Materials and Methods In this prospective study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00749320), metastatic RCC perfusion was measured with ASL MRI before and during sunitinib or pazopanib therapy between October 2008 and March 2014. Objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated. Perfusion was compared between responders and nonresponders at baseline, at week 2, after cycle 2 (12 weeks), after cycle 4 (24 weeks), and at disease progression and compared with the ORR by using the Wilcoxon rank sum test and with PFS by using the log-rank test. Results Seventeen participants received sul is available for this article.

False-negative (FN) screening examinations can be a surrogate for long-term outcomes, such as breast cancer morbidity and mortality. Purpose To determine if screening with DBT is associated with lower FN rates, detection of cancers with more favorable prognoses, and improved performance outcomes versus DM. Materials and Methods This retrospective study involved 10 academic and community practices. DM screening examinations 1 year prior to DBT implementation and DBT screening examinations from the start date until June 30, 2013, were linked to cancers through June 30, 2014, with data collection in 2016 and analysis in 2018-2019. Cancers after FN examinations were characterized by presentation, either symptomatic or asymptomatic. FN rates, sensitivity, specificity, cancer detection and recall rates, positive predictive values, tumor size, histologic features, and receptor profile were compared.
