Article Abstract
In recent years, three important quantitative concepts in PET analysis have been developed: partial volume correction of standardized uptake value (SUV) in small lesions, dual-time point and delayed PET imaging, and assessment of global metabolic activity in the whole organ or of a particular diseased tissue(s). In this article, we discuss these novel concepts, their advantages over current quantitative techniques, and their potential clinical applications. We also describe the complicated kinetic modeling and the conventional SUV methods that have been used in the practice of clinical PET.

Avenanthramides and avenacosides as biomarkers of oat intake: a pharmacokinetic study of solid and liquid oat consumption under single and repeated dose conditions.

Background: Avenanthramides (AVAs) and Avenacosides (AVEs) are unique to oats (Avena Sativa) and may serve as biomarkers of oat intake. However, information regarding their validity as food intake biomarkers is missing. We aimed to investigate critical validation parameters such as half-lives, dose-response, matrix effects, relative bioavailability under single dose, and in relation to the abundance of Feacalibacterium prausnitzii, and under repeated dosing, to understand the potential applications of AVAs and AVEs as biomarkers of oat intake.

Beyond their classical functions as redox cofactors, recent fundamental and clinical research has expanded our understanding of the diverse roles of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) in signaling pathways, epigenetic regulation and energy homeostasis. Moreover, NAD and NADP influence numerous diseases as well as the processes of aging, and are emerging as targets for clinical intervention. Here, we summarize safety, bioavailability and efficacy data from NAD-related clinical trials, focusing on aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is a cutting-edge treatment approach in oncology that combines the molecular precision of targeted agents with the effect of radiotherapy to selectively deliver cytotoxic radiation to cancer cells. Research efforts from the past few decades have led to a diverse molecular landscape of TRT and have provided lessons for further rational development of targeted radiopharmaceuticals and expansion of the clinical applications of this treatment modality. In this Review, we discuss TRT in the context of therapeutic approaches currently available in oncology, describe the broad range of established and emerging targets for TRT including innovative approaches to exploit vulnerabilities presented by the tumour microenvironment, and address the challenges for clinical translation and molecular optimization.

Cough is a common symptom of many respiratory diseases, and parameters such as frequency, intensity, type and duration play important roles in disease screening, diagnosis and prognosis. Among these, cough frequency is the most widely applied metric. In current clinical practice, cough severity is primarily assessed based on patients' subjective symptom descriptions in combination with semi-structured questionnaires.
