Important deteriorations in body composition and strength occur and need to be accurately
measured in advanced cancer patients (ACPs). The aim of this study was to establish the …

Sequential studies with 99m Tc-methylene diphosphonate ( 99m Tc-MDP) and 67 Ga were
performed in 40 patients to determine the role of each agent in evaluating osteomyelitis, …

Background Cachexia is a highly prevalent syndrome in cancer and chronic diseases.
However, due to the heterogeneous features of cancer cachexia, its identification and …

We prospectively assessed femoral bone remodeling using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
for 2 years after total hip arthroplasty. Thirty-nine hips were randomized to receive a …

RESULTS Time-activity histograms of the initial accumula tion of the 99mTcppobtained over
the distal femurs was found by regression analysis to be represented by the power function …

Deposition of 67 Ga in bone does not explicitly imply osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis complicating
insertion of orthopedic devices is manifested by lack of congruence in the distribution …

The periarticular uptake of 99m technetium‐labeled diphosphonate ( 99m TcDP) was compared
in 12 patients hospitalized for psoriasis and in 12 hospitalized for other dermatoses not …

The utility of 99m Tc-phosphate imaging of fractured bones adjacent to joints soon after
injury is examined. Joints usually respond to trauma by a generalized increased regional …

Rats were made cirrhotic by carbon tetrachloride inhalation associated with phenobarbital in
the drinking water over 10 weeks. After a 1-week recovery period a 99m Tc sulphur colloid …

99m Tc pertechnetate is actively concentrated by gastric mucosa. This feature was applied
to the detection of ectopic gastric mucosa in Meckel's diverticula in children, using external …
