Purpose: F-Flotufolastat (F-rhPSMA-7.3) is a newly approved prostate-specific membrane antigen targeting radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic imaging of prostate cancer (PCa). SPOTLIGHT (National Clinical Trials 04186845) evaluated F-flotufolastat in men with suspected PCa recurrence. Here, we present results of predefined exploratory endpoints from SPOTLIGHT to evaluate the impact of clinical factors on F-flotufolastat detection rates (DR).
Methods And Materials: The impact of baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA), PSA doubling time (PSAdt), and International Society of Urologic Pathology Grade Group (GG) on F-flotufolastat DR was evaluated among all SPOTLIGHT patients with an evaluable scan, with DR stratified according to the patients' prior treatment (radical prostatectomy ± radiation therapy [RP] or radiation therapy only [RT]). The patients underwent positron emission tomography 50 to 70 minutes after receiving F-flotufolastat (296 MBq IV), and scans were read by 3 blinded central readers, with the majority read representing agreement between ≥2 readers.
Results: In total, 389 men (median PSA: 1.10 ng/mL) were evaluable. By majority read, F-flotufolastat identified distant lesions in 39% and 43% of patients treated with prior RP or RT, respectively. The overall DR broadly increased with increasing PSA (<0.2 ng/mL: 33%; ≥10 ng/mL: 100%). Among patients with PSA <1 ng/mL, 68% had positive scans, and 27% had extrapelvic findings. PSAdt was available for 145/389 (37%) patients. PSAdt did not appear to influence F-flotufolastat DR (77%-90% across all PSAdt categories). Among patients with prior RP, DR ranged from 70% to 83% across PSAdt categories, and 100% DR was reported for all post-RT patients. In total, 362/389 (93%) patients had baseline GG data. Overall DRs were uniformly high (75%‒95%) across all GG. When stratified by prior treatment, DRs across all GG were 69% to 89% in patients with prior RP and ≥96% in patients with prior RT.
Conclusions: F-Flotufolastat-positron emission tomography enabled the accurate detection of recurrent PCa lesions across a wide range of PSA, PSAdt, and International Society of Urologic Pathology GG, thus supporting its clinical utility for a broad range of patients with recurrent PCa.

Purpose: Advancements in sequencing technologies have significantly improved clinical genetic testing, yet the diagnostic yield remains around 30-40%. Emerging technologies are now being deployed to address the remaining diagnostic gap.
Methods: We tested whether short-read genome sequencing could increase the diagnostic yield in individuals enrolled into the UCI-GREGoR research study, who had suspected Mendelian conditions and prior inconclusive testing.

In wheat allergy dependent on augmentation factors (WALDA), allergic reactions occur when wheat ingestion is combined with exercise or rarely other augmentation factors. We analyzed clinical characteristics and disease burden in recreationally active and trained individuals with WALDA diagnosed by oral challenge test. Clinical characteristics, serological data, and quality of life (QOL) questionnaires were analyzed and completed with follow-up interviews.

In an observational study, healthcare personnel often entered contact precautions rooms without contacting patients or the environment. An approach requiring gloves and gowns based on actual contacts rather than for all room entries would reduce personal protective equipment donning and doffing time, cost, and carbon footprint by more than half.

Objective: From October 18-20, 2022, the National Institutes of Health held a workshop to examine the state of the science concerning obesity interventions in adults to promote health equity. The workshop had three objectives: (1) Convene experts from key institutions and the community to identify gaps in knowledge and opportunities to address obesity, (2) generate recommendations for obesity prevention and treatment to achieve health equity, and (3) identify challenges and needs to address obesity prevalence and disparities, and develop a diverse workforce.
Methods: A three-day virtual convening.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between the day-to-day impact of vaginal aging and female sexual function among postmenopausal Turkish women.
Method: The McCoy Female Sexuality Questionnaire (MFSQ) and the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire were distributed to 195 postmenopausal women. The most bothersome vulvovaginal symptoms were recorded.
