Article Abstract

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid cancer in children. Despite intensive multimodality treatment, long-term survival of patients with high-risk NB, which comprises more than half of all cases, remains poor. Nuclear medicine is key in diagnosis, staging, response assessment and long-term follow-up of NB. The emergence of novel tracers and the increasing complexity of studies require updated guidelines for nuclear medicine imaging in NB. Standardising diagnostic techniques are essential for improving study comparability and ensuring test quality. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of NB radionuclide diagnostic imaging, including its characteristics, accuracy, advantages, and limitations. It offers practical recommendations to multidisciplinary teams responsible for treating patients with NB. This review summarises the opinions of leading experts from the Neuroblastoma Spanish Group within the Spanish Society of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology (SEHOP) and the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SEMNIM).

The estrogen receptor (ER or ERα) remains the primary therapeutic target for luminal breast cancer, with current treatments centered on competitive antagonists, receptor down-regulators, and aromatase inhibitors. Despite these options, resistance frequently emerges, highlighting the need for alternative targeting strategies. We discovered a novel mechanism of ER inhibition that targets the previously unexplored interface between the DNA-binding domain (DBD) and ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the receptor.

Persisting Lyme Disease in the Pediatric Population.

Clin Pediatr (Phila)

September 2025

Department of Medicine (Infectious Disease), University of Connecticut Health Center, Boston University Medical Center, Falmouth Hospital, Falmouth, MA, USA.

A total of 101 patients with a clinical picture of persisting Lyme disease seen at the University of Connecticut Health Center and Boston Medical Center were recruited for the study to determine whether persistent infection is the likely cause. Brain SPECT imaging and responses to antibiotic treatments were recorded. Patients had more than 5 symptoms lasting more than 6 months.

Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is a serious complication of sepsis. The relationship between SIC and protein acetylation, particularly the balance between acetylation and deacetylation in cardiomyocyte subcellular structures, as well as how nuclear-mitochondrial coordination maintains standard antioxidant stress capacity, remains unclear. This study focused on exploring the nuclear-mitochondrial regulatory mechanisms formed by the interplay of Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and Forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a).

Dissecting the Causal Association Between Bulimia Nervosa and Structural Brain Abnormalities: A Two-Sample Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.

Brain Behav

September 2025

The National Clinical Research Center for Mental Disorders & Beijing Key Laboratory of Mental Disorders, Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Background: Diverse correlations between structural brain abnormalities and the clinical feature of bulimia nervosa (BN) have been identified in previous observational studies.

Objective: To explore the bidirectional causality between BN and brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phenotypes.

Methods: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 2441 participants identified genetic variants associated with disordered eating and predicted BN, whereas UK Biobank 3D-T1 MRI data were used to analyze brain structural phenotypes.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus, characterised by retinal vasculopathy and oxidative stress. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), has demonstrated cardiovascular benefits but has also been associated with mixed effects on DR progression. This study investigates the potential of semaglutide to attenuate DR progression by ameliorating retinal vasculopathy and oxidative stress in both in vivo and in vitro models.
