Abstract: olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic drug, was administered to a patient with huntington's disease (hd) with marked choreiform movements. brain spect with 99mtc-hmpao was performed before and after treatment. brain spect imaging has been performed in patients with hd in order to determine the status of basal ganglia perfusion. the use of brain spect with 99mtc-hmpao before and after treatment in patients with hd has not been yet reported. the marked hypoperfusion of the basal ganglia on brain spect performed before therapy with olanzapine improved significantly after treatment.

Abstract: objective: to compare the accuracy of spm and visual analysis of brain spect in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mtle). method: interictal and ictal spects of 22 patients with mtle were performed. visual analysis were performed in interictal (visual(inter)) and ictal (visual(ictal/inter)) studies. spm analysis consisted of comparing interictal (spm(inter)) and ictal spects (spm(ictal)) of each patient to control group and by comparing perfusion of temporal lobes in ictal and interictal studies among themselves (spm(ictal/inter)). results: for detection of the epileptogenic focus, the sensitivities were as follows: visual(inter)=68%; visual(ictal/inter)=100%; spm(inter)=45%; spm(ictal)=64% and spm(ictal/inter)=77%. spm was able to detect more areas of hyperperfusion and hypoperfusion. conclusion: spm did not improve the sensitivity to detect epileptogenic focus. however, spm detected different regions of hypoperfusion and hyperperfusion and is therefore a helpful tool for better understand pathophysiology of seizures in mtle.

Abstract: objective: demonstrate brain perfusion changes due to neuronal activation after functional electrical stimulation (fes). method: it was studied 14 patients with hemiplegia who were submitted to a program with fes during fourteen weeks. brain perfusion spect was performed before and after fes therapy. these patients were further separated into 2 groups according to the hemiplegia cause: cranial trauma and major vascular insults. all spect images were analyzed using spm. results: there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups related to patient's ages and extent of hypoperfusion in the spect. patients with cranial trauma had a reduction in the hypoperfused area and patients with major vascular insult had an increase in the hypoperfused area after fes therapy. conclusion: fes therapy can result in brain perfusion improvement in patients with brain lesions due to cranial trauma but probably not in patients with major vascular insults with large infarct area.

Abstract: context: more than 50% of patients with prostate, breast or lung cancer will develop painful bone metastases. the purpose of treating bone metastases is to relieve pain, reduce the use of steroids and to maintain motion. objective: to evaluate the use of samarium-153-edtmp (153sm-edtmp) for the treatment of bone pain secondary to metastases that is refractory to clinical management. type of study: retrospective. setting: division of nuclear medicine, universidade estadual de campinas (unicamp). methods: fifty-eight patients were studied (34 males) with mean age 62 years; 31 patients had prostate cancer, 20 had breast cancer, three had lung cancer, one had lung hemangioendothelioma, one had parathyroid adenocarcinoma, one had osteosarcoma and one had an unknown primary tumor. all patients had multiple bone metastases demonstrated by bone scintigraphy using 99mtc-mdp,and were treated with 153sm-edtmp. response to treatment was graded as good (pain reduction of 50-100%), intermediate (25-49%) and poor (0-24%). results: all patients showed good uptake of 153sm-edtmp by bone metastases. among the patients with prostate cancer, intermediate or good response to therapy occurred in 80.6% (25 patients) and poor response in 19.4% (6). among the patients with breast cancer, 85% (17) showed intermediate or good response to therapy while 15% (3) showed poor response. all three patients with lung cancer showed poor response to treatment. the lung hemangioendothelioma and unknown primary lesion patients showed intermediate response to treatment; the osteosarcoma and parathyroid adenocarcinoma patients showed good response to treatment. no significant myelotoxicity occurred. discussion: pain control is important for improving the quality of life of patients with advanced cancers. the mechanism by which pain is relieved with the use of radionuclides is still not yet completely understood, however, the treatment is simple and provides a low risk of mielotoxicity. conclusion: treatmen

Abstract: context and objective: the diagnosis of repetitive strain injury (rsi) is subjective and solely based on clinical signs and physical examination. the aim of this paper was to assess the usefulness of three-phase bone scintigraphy (tpbs) in diagnosing rsi. design and setting: prospective study at the division of nuclear medicine, department of radiology, school of medical sciences, universidade estadual de campinas (unicamp). methods: seventy-three patients (mean age 31.2 years; 47 males) with clinical suspicion of rsi in the upper limbs were studied. a total of 127 joints with suspicion of rsi were studied. the shoulders, elbows and wrists were analyzed semi-quantitatively, using the shafts of the humeri and ulnae as references. the results were compared with a control group of 40 normal individuals. the patients？ signs and symptoms were used as the "gold standard" for calculating the probabilities. results: from visual analysis, abnormalities were observed in the flow phase for four joints, in the blood pool phase for 11 joints and in the delayed images for 26 joints. visual analysis of the joints of the control group did not show any abnormalities. semi-quantitative analysis showed that most of the patients？ joint ratios were normal. the exceptions were the wrists of patients with left-sided rsi (p = 0.0216). however, the sensitivity (9%) and accuracy (41%) were very low. conclusion: tpbs with semi-quantitative analysis has very low sensitivity and accuracy in the detection of rsi abnormalities in the upper limbs.

Lima, Mariana da Cunha Lopes de;Ramos, Celso Darío;Brunetto, Sérgio Quirino;Lima, Marcelo Lopes de;Ferreira, Ubirajara;Etchebehere, Elba Cristina Sá Camargo;Santos, Allan de Oliveira;Netto Júnior, Nelson Rodrigues;Camargo, Edwaldo Eduardo;

Abstract: context and objective: studies using radionuclides are the most appropriate method for estimating renal function. dimercaptosuccinic acid chelate labeled with technetium-99m (99mtc-dmsa) is the radiopharmaceutical of choice for high-resolution imaging of the renal cortex and estimation of the functional renal mass. the aim of this study was to evaluate a simplified method for determining the absolute renal uptake (aru) of 99mtc-dmsa prior to nephrectomy, using the radioactivity counts of nephrectomy specimens as the gold standard. design and setting: prospective study at the division of nuclear medicine, department of radiology, universidade estadual de campinas. methods: seventeen patients (12 females; range 22-82 years old; mean age 50.8 years old) underwent nephrectomy for various reasons. renal scintigraphy was performed three to four hours after intravenous administration of a mean dose of 188.7 mbq (5.1 mci) of 99mtc-dmsa, which was done six to 24 hours before surgery. the in vivo renal uptake of 99mtc-dmsa was determined using the radioactivity of the syringe before the injection (measured using a dose calibrator) and the images of the syringe and kidneys, obtained from a scintillation camera. after surgery, the reference value for renal uptake of 99mtc-dmsa was determined by measuring the radioactivity of the nephrectomy specimen using the same dose calibrator. results: the aru measurements were very similar to those obtained using the reference method, as determined by linear regression (r-squared = 0.96). conclusion: aru estimation using the proposed method before nephrectomy seems to be accurate and feasible for routine use.
