    Abstract Approximately one out of ten COVID-19 cases in Ecuador was a physician. It has been reported that this situation has led to a serious detriment of physicians' health and well-being. This study aimed to (i) identify predictors of emotional exhaustion, somatization, and work alienation in Ecuadorian physicians working with COVID-19 patients and (ii) explore the pandemic impact on doctor-patient relationships and on empathy. In 79 Ecuadorian physicians (45 women) who worked with COVID-19 patients, two separate multiple regression models explained the following: 73% of the variability of emotional exhaustion was based on somatization, work alienation, working sector, and passing through a symptomatic infection (

    Abstract In the last decade, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting CTLA-4, PD-1, or PD-L1 have been developed and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become the main approach in cancer immunotherapy. However, not all patients benefit from ICI therapy and some are at risk of developing treatment-induced side-effects. These aspects, in parallel with the imaging challenges related to response assessments during immunotherapy, have driven scientific research to the discovery of new predictive biomarkers to individualize patients who could benefit from ICIs. In this context, molecular imaging using PET (positron emission tomography), which allows for whole-body tumor visualization, may be a promising non-invasive method for the determination of patients' sensitivity to antibody drugs. Several PET tracers, diverse from 2-[

    Abstract The field of nuclear medicine has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the area of PET imaging. One such development is the use of Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitors (FAPI) as a novel radiotracer. FAPI PET imaging has shown promising results in various malignancies, including sarcomas, which are a diverse group of cancers originating from mesenchymal cells. This paper aims to explore the potential of FAPI PET imaging in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring of sarcomas. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of FAPI PET in sarcomas. Furthermore, FAPI PET imaging has shown potential in assessing treatment response, with changes in FAPI uptake correlating with treatment outcomes. However, there are challenges to be addressed. The heterogeneity of sarcomas, both inter- and intra-tumoral, may affect the uniformity of Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) expression and thus the effectiveness of FAPI PET imaging. Additionally, the optimal timing and dosage of FAPI for PET imaging in sarcomas need further investigation. In conclusion, the introduction of FAPI PET imaging represents a significant advancement in the field of nuclear medicine and oncology. The ability to target FAP, a protein overexpressed in the majority of sarcomas, offers new possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of these complex and diverse tumors. Its potential applications in diagnosis, staging, and theranostics are vast, and on-going research continues to explore and address its limitations. As we continue to deepen our understanding of this novel imaging technique, it is hoped that FAPI PET imaging will play an increasingly important role in the fight against cancer. However, as with any new technology, further research is needed to fully understand the potential and limitations of FAPI PET imaging in the clinical setting.

    Abstract Empathy and lifelong learning are two professional competencies that depend on the four principles of professionalism: humanism, altruism, excellence, and accountability. In occupational health, there is evidence that empathy prevents work distress. However, in the case of lifelong learning, the evidence is still scarce. In addition, recent studies suggest that the development of lifelong learning varies in physicians and nurses and that it is sensitive to the influence of cultural stereotypes associated with professional roles. This study was performed with the purpose of determining the specific role that empathy and lifelong learning play in the reduction in occupational stress. This study included a sample composed by 40 physicians and 40 nurses with high dedication to clinical work in ambulatory consultations from a public healthcare institution in Paraguay. Somatization, exhaustion, and work alienation, described as indicators of occupational stress, were used as dependent variables, whereas empathy, lifelong learning, gender, discipline, professional experience, civil status, and family burden were used as potential predictors. Three multiple regression models explained 32% of the variability of somatization based on a linear relationship with empathy, lifelong learning, and civil status; 73% of the variability of exhaustion based on a linear relationship with empathy, somatization, work alienation, and discipline; and 62% of the variability of work alienation based on a linear relationship with lifelong learning, exhaustion, and discipline. These findings indicate that empathy and lifelong learning play important roles in the prevention of work distress in physicians and nurses. However, this role varies by discipline.

    Abstract The skeleton is the most common metastatic site in patients with advanced cancer. Pain is a major healthcare problem in patients with bone metastases. Bone-seeking radionuclides that selectively accumulate in the bone are used to treat cancer-induced bone pain and to prolong survival in selected groups of cancer patients. The goals of these guidelines are to assist nuclear medicine practitioners in: (a) evaluating patients who might be candidates for radionuclide treatment of bone metastases using beta-emitting radionuclides such as strontium-89 (

    Abstract Abstract: The search for new biomarkers in cancer is currently one of the most widely sought end points in medical imaging, with the aim of improving the management decisions based on reliable indicators of prognosis, being neuroendocrine neoplasms a challenging group of tumors under investigation. Multitracer PET/CT imaging, in which different radiotracers supply information of different metabolic aspects of the tumor, can help classify and select the most appropriate therapy, providing basic aspects that will probably allow the generation of new imaging biomarkers useful in patient management.
