"PET-CT is increasingly being employed in the diagnosis of both oncological and non-oncological patients, yet nuclear medicine physicians may have only limited practical experience of rare diseases and may experience difficulty in recognizing and interpreting rare findings. This unique atlas documents a large number of clinical cases that will help practitioners to identify findings and diseases that, though rare, are sufficiently frequent to be encountered in routine practice. Two types of cases are presented: patients evaluated for rare diseases and patients evaluated for standard diseases in whom atypical PET findings were detected. Each reported case includes a brief description of the clinical history, representative color PET-CT images obtained using FDG or other tracers, and a short explanation of the disease and findings.

"For practitioners at all stages of experience, diseases of the parathyroid glands are not easily deciphered. There are many subtleties to its pathology and diagnosis. Today, the wealth of new information from molecular medicine makes it very challenging for the individual practitioner to have a complete picture of these entities. Diseases of the parathyroid glands addresses these issues by offering a concise, user-friendly text that provides state-of-the-art background on mineral physiology and its regulation and couples this to a variety of clinical topics of parathyroid gland pathology. Introductory chapters cover calcium regulation and parathyroid gland physiology, drawing upon many of the new aspects of glandular control mechanisms beyond the classical ones associated with calcium alone. The majority of the text covers clinical problems. Although most chapters address problems in adult medicine, three separate chapters are devoted to pediatric problems of hyper- and hypoparathyroidsm and parathormone resistance states. In addition, there are several chapters on less common but equally challenging problems such as parathyroid cancer, calciphylaxis, cystic lesions of the glands, and ectopic glandular disease. The final chapters detail the techniques of parathyroid gland imaging and surgical treatment. "

"The Institute of Nuclear Medicine, founded in 1961, celebrates with this festschrift, its Golden Jubilee. It has been a remarkable 50 years of progress of the radionuclide tracer methodology. From initial, physiology based experimentation, a full independent medical discipline evolved, and with it, a comprehensive clinical service. Diagnosis and treatment with radiotracers have established the basis for nuclear medicine. Technological advances have permeated the field like none other, its multidisciplinary character and its translational research are embedded in the history of the Institute and its success. Recent and latest advances in the field promise a future as bright as has been witnessed and documented in the last 50 years."

"Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) has become a fundamental imaging technique for the study of many anatomical districts in different clinical situations, as it provides a fast, reliable, and accurate simultaneous evaluation of different organs, including parenchyma, hollow viscera, vessels, and bony structures. It has also equipped the radiologist with the ability to explore areas that in the last decade were largely ignored by CT, especially the coronary arteries and the colon, and to limit invasive diagnostic tests (e.g., catheter angiography) to those cases in which interventional procedures are required.The examination quality and the consequent diagnostic accuracy of MDCT are the results of an optimized study technique, which nonetheless needs to be adapted to the particular clinical situation of the patient, while bearing in mind the radiation exposure. Another fundamental parameter in the optimization of MDCT is the protocol for the intravenous injection of iodinated contrast material; in these studies, multiple variables, some modifiable by the operator and others patient-dependent, must be considered based on the aims of maximizing arterial and venous enhancements whilst minimizing the dose of iodine injected, saving money, and increasing patient safety.Through the presentation of cases addressing different anatomical regions and various clinical indications, including emergency and neuro-imaging, this volume seeks to provide the general radiologist and trainee specialist with a guide to the main study protocols to be implemented in order to optimize examination quality and, consequently, facilitate the diagnostic process."

"ABSTRACTPedikulosis kapitis banyak terdapat pada orang yang hidup berkelompok seperti di pesantren sehingga santri perlu diberikan edukasi mengenai gejala klinisnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui efektivitas penyuluhan terhadap pengetahuan santri tentang gejala pedikulosis. Desain penelitian menggunakan pre-post study dengan intervensi penyuluhan kesehatan. Data diambil di sebuah Pesantren, Jakarta Timur bulan Mei 2012 dengan memberikan kuesioner yang berisi enam pertanyaan gejala pedikulosis kepada 181 santri (total sampling). Jumlah responden tersebut terdiri dari 109 responden laki-laki dan 72 perempuan, berusia 11-19 tahun, dengan tingkat pendidikan madrasah aliyah 71 responden dan madrasah tsanawiyah 110 responden. Skor pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah penyuluhan diuji dengan uji marginal homogeneity pada program SPSS versi 20. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebelum penyuluhan tingkat pengetahuan responden: 4 (2,2%) orang baik, 19 (10,5%) cukup dan 158 (87,3%) kurang. Setelah penyuluhan, responden berpengetahuan baik 18 (9,9%), cukup 51 (28,2%) dan kurang 112 (61,9%). Uji marginal homogeneity menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna (p<0,01) pada tingkat pengetahuan mengenai gejala pedikulosis sebelum dan sesudah penyuluhan. Disimpulkan bahwa penyuluhan efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan santri mengenai gejala pedikulosis.

ABSTRACTPediculosis capitis is often found in group-based population such as pesantren, thus students should be given an education about its symptoms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of health education on student?s knowledge improvement about the symptoms of Pediculosis. The pre-post study design was used. Data was taken from the pesantren, East Jakarta on May 2012. The questionnaire was distributed which consist of 6 questions about pediculosis symptoms to 181 students. The students consisted of 109 male students and 72 female students, aged 11-19 years old, with level education of students were 71 Madrasah Aliyah and 110 Madrasah Tsanawiyah. Score of knowledge before and after health education was calculated statistically using Marginal homogeneity test at SPSS version 20 software. The result showed the level of knowledge before health education was 4 (2.2%) good, 19 (10.5%) average, and 158 (87.3%) poor. After health education was held, there was improvement on the result: 18 (9.9%) good, 51 (28.2%) average, and 112 (61.9%) poor. Marginal homogeneity test shows significant difference (p<0.01) on level of knowledge before and after the health education was held. This finding concludes that health education effectively improved student?s knowledge on symptoms of pediculosis."
