    Abstract Objective: To investigate whether pulmonary artery diameters obtained from lung perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) images and semiquantitative visual scoring (SVS) could serve as predictors of chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease (CPTED) in acute pulmonary embolism patients (APE).
    Study design: Observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Nuclear Medicine, Samsun Provincial Health Directorate, Gazi State Hospital, Samsun, Turkey, from January 2016 to March 2021.
    Methodology: A total of 142 patients undergoing lung perfusion SPECT-CT were included in this study. Patients were classified as APE (+) (n=42) and APE (-) (n=100) based on laboratory and radiological findings, clinical diagnosis, and treatment protocol. Non-contrast CT images were used to determine the diameters (mm) of the main (MPA), right (RPA), and left (LPA) pulmonary arteries and the main pulmonary artery/aorta (PA/AO) ratio. All perfusion defects were scored using SVS for the PE (+) group. Seventeen patients with a diagnosis of CPTED were followed up. The scores and arterial diameters of recovered APE and follow-up patients were compared.
    Results: The mean diameters (mm) of MPA, RPA, and LPA and PA/AO ratio were 29.74±5.51, 21.73±4.11, 22.74±4.16, and 0.83±0.16 in the APE (+) group and 26.18±4.99, 19.35±3.84, 19.49±4.15, and 0.77±0.15 in the APE (-) group, respectively (p<0.001). Mean MPA diameter (mm), total defect (TD), right visual defect (RVD), and PA/AO ratio were 31.67±15.65, 29.88±15.59, 17.65±10.51, and 0.91±0.18 in the CPTED group and 28.06±4.59, 18.92±13.30, 10.4±7.41, and 0.78±0.15 in the recovered APE group, respectively (p<0.05).
    Conclusion: Assessment of pulmonary artery diameter and PA/AO ratio may indicate APE, but TD and RVD scores may be predictive factors for CPTED when included in the assessment along with MPA dilatation and PA/AO ratio.
    Key words: Acute pulmonary embolism, Pulmonary artery diameter, Lung SPECT-CT, Chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease, Semi-quantitative visual scoring.

    Abstract A viral pneumonia rapidly spread from Wuhan, China to all countries in late 2019. In February 2020, WHO named as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and declared the pandemic on March 11, 2020. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, Ministry of Health of Republic of Turkey and international institutions have published documents defining hygiene rules. After the lung computerized tomography (CT) findings which are important in the diagnosis of COVID-19 are described, protection measures against infection were defined in radiology departments. There is no publication involving protection measures for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in nuclear medicine (NM) (appointment, patient acceptance, imaging and treatment procedures, disinfection etc). There are two reports on CT findings suggesting COVID-19 in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT scan. These lung findings detected in hybrid images will be helpful in the early diagnosis of pulmonary involvement. Infected cases may be asymptomatic and can unintentionally disseminate the virus to surrounding people. This advisory guide has been prepared to avoid infection risk in NM clinics. During the COVID-19 outbreak, staff must use proper personal protective equipment and patients should be evaluated as the elective case according to clinical status. A questionnaire should be made for COVID-19. In cancer cases requiring urgent treatment, radionuclide treatment (RNT) should be planned according to the COVID-19 test result. If the result is negative, RNT can be applied; but if not or if the symptoms are present, RNT must be postponed. Following imaging procedures, scanners and room surfaces should be cleaned by personnel with proper disinfection training.

    Abstract Objective: Lower extremity stress injuries cause moderate to severe functional restrictions that frequently preclude attendance in sports, recreational and occupational activities involving vigorous, repetitive lower limb training. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relation between diagnosis and symptom duration and exercise periods in cases with bilateral stress injuries diagnosed by physical examination and radionuclide imaging. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients pre-diagnosed with bilateral stress injuries, aged between 19 and 35 years (3 female, 22 male) were enrolled in this study. Patient anamnesis, demographic information, the time span of painful period, duration of exercise per week, bones scans and SPECT/CT findings were evaluated. Stress injury groups were identified as bilateral shin splints (SS), bilateral stress fractures (SF), shin splint and stress fractures (SS+SF) according to their uptake properties on three phase bone scan (TPBS) and SPECT/CT images and physical examination findings. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups according to age, and duration of symptoms (χ2 = 3,327, p=0,344). Conclusion: Bilateral stress injury is a rare condition in military personnel and athletes. Duration of exercise seems to be the major risk factor for the stress injury development.

    Abstract Primary diffuse leptomeningeal melanomatosis is a rare variant of malignant melanoma of the central nervous system, arising from melanocytes of leptomeninges. It may involve leptomeninges and may invade brain superficially. The diagnosis of the disease with conventional imaging techniques is quite difficult. This case demonstrates the F-FDG uptake of primary diffuse leptomeningeal melanomatosis matching with MRI contrast enhancement regions particularly in the lower thoracic and superior lumbar region.

    Abstract In this study, pyrolysis of grape bagasse was investigated with the aim to study the product distribution and their chemical compositions and to identify optimum process conditions for maximizing the bio-oil yield. Particular investigated process variables were temperature (350-600°C), heating rate (10-50°C/min) and nitrogen gas flow rate (50-200 cm(3)/min). The maximum oil yield of 27.60% was obtained at the final pyrolysis temperature of 550°C, sweeping gas flow rate of 100 cm(3)/min and heating rate of 50°C/min in a fixed-bed reactor. The elemental analysis and heating value of the bio-oils were determined, and then the chemical composition of the bio-oil was investigated using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques such as column chromatography, (1)H NMR and FTIR. The fuel properties of the bio-oil such as flash point, viscosity and density were also determined. The bio-oils obtained from grape bagasse were presented as an environmentally friendly feedstock candidate for bio-fuels.

    Abstract Objective: There has been much discussion recently about the risk category of tall cell variant (TVC) histology and its effects on the management of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). We, therefore, undertook a retrospective study to compare stage-matched risk factors and recurrence rates between classical PTC (cPTC) patients and patients with TCV histology.
    Subjects and methods: A total of 3128 well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients who were treated and followed-up for more than 5 years in our clinic from 1995 to 2016 were included in this study. There were 2783 PTC (89%) patients, 1113 (40%) of them were cPTC and 56 (2%) of them were TCV patients.
    Results: In all stages, the stage-matched incidence of extrathyroidal extension (ETE), lymphovascular invasion and initial lymph node metastases were significantly higher in TCV patients than in cPTC patients (P<0.001). Recurrence was in 10 of 27 patients (37%) with TCV and in 91 of 890 (10%) patients with cPTC diagnosed in stage I (odds ratio (OR)=5.16); in 4 of 6 patients with TCV and 18 of 84 (21%) patients with cPTC in stage II (OR=7.33); in 5 of 6 patients with TCV and 11 of 46 (23%) patients with cPTC in stage III (OR=15.90); and in 13 of 17 patients with TCV and 31 of 93 (33%) patients with cPTC in stage IV (OR=6.50). Stage-matched recurrence rates were found significantly higher in all stages of TCV patients than in cPTC patients (OR=8.49, P<0.001). Recurrence with distant metastases was seen more frequently in TCV patients than in cPTC patients (P<0.001) and treatment of metastatic disease was more difficult in TCV patients.
    Conclusion: Tall cell variant was an independent poor prognostic factor in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients even if they were diagnosed at early stages of the disease. Patients with tall cell variant histology required more aggressive therapeutic approach and closer follow-up than classical patients.
