    Abstract Background: New digital detectors and block-sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) reconstruction algorithm improve positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) image quality. The impact on image quality may differ from analogue PET/computed tomography (CT) protocol. The aim of this study is to determine the potential reduction of injected [
    Methods: NEMA IQ phantom data and 25 patients scheduled for a diagnostic PET/MR were included. According to our current protocol, 1.5 MBq [
    Results: Phantom analysis resulted in a possible injected activity reduction of 50% with factor β = 600. Quantitative analysis of patient images revealed a possible injected activity reduction of 67% with factor β = 600. Both with equal or improved image quality as compared to PET/CT. However, based on visual scoring a maximum activity reduction of 33% with factor β = 450 was acceptable, which was further limited by lesion detectability analysis to an injected activity reduction of 17% with factor β = 450.

    Methods: A retrospective study of
    Results: The total reported BAT activation was 3.6%. BAT activation was reported significantly more often in patients who were female (p < 0.0001), younger (p < 0.0001), with lower body mass index (p < 0.0001), with lower blood glucose levels (p = 0.01), indicated for breast cancer (p = 0.004), not administered chemotherapy recently before the scan (p < 0.0001) and shown to have BAT activation in a previous scan (p < 0.0001). BAT activation was also reported significantly more for lower outdoor temperatures (p < 0.0001) and for late morning scans than for afternoon (p = 0.005) and early morning (p = 0.001) scans.
    Conclusion: This retrospective study of 15,109 scans highlights multiple factors contributing to BAT activation on

    Abstract Context: Prophylactic and rehabilitative balance training is needed to maximize postural control and develop appropriate sensory organization strategies. Partially occluding vision during functional exercise may promote appropriate sensory organization strategies, but little is known about the influence of partially occluded vision on postural control in those with and without a history of musculoskeletal injury.
    Objective: To determine the effect of increasing levels of visual occlusion on postural control in a heterogeneous sample of those with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). The secondary objective was to explore postural control responses to increasing levels of visual occlusion among those with unilateral and bilateral CAI relative to uninjured controls.
    Design: Cross-sectional.
    Setting: Sports medicine research laboratory.
    Patients or other participants: Twenty-five participants with unilateral CAI, 10 with bilateral CAI, and 16 participants with no history of lower extremity injury.
    Main outcome measures: All participants completed four 3-minute postural control assessments in double-limb stance under the following 4 visual conditions: (1) eyes open, (2) low occlusion, (3) high occlusion, and (4) eyes closed. Low- and high-occlusion conditions were produced using stroboscopic eyewear. Postural control outcomes included time-to-boundary minima means in the anteroposterior (TTB-AP) and mediolateral directions (TTB-ML). Repeated-measures analysis of variances tested the effects of visual condition on TTB-AP and TTB-ML.
    Results: Postural control under the eyes-open condition was significantly better (ie, higher) than the limited visual occlusion and eyes-closed conditions (P < .001) for TTB-AP and TTB-ML. For TTB-AP only, partially occluded vision resulted in better postural control than the eyes-closed condition (P ≤ .003).
    Conclusions: Partial and complete visual occlusion impaired postural control during dual-limb stance in a heterogeneous sample of those with and without CAI. Stroboscopic eyewear appears to induce postural control impairments to the same extent as complete visual occlusion in the mediolateral direction.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review discusses new findings in penile cancer imaging in relation to the European Association of Urology and National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.
    Recent findings: For imaging in penile cancer patients who are candidates for organ-sparing primary treatment, ultrasound with Doppler seems to be the method of choice in addition to physical examination. The sentinel node biopsy (SNB) procedure is used to detect small nodal metastases in clinically node-negative patients. In recent years, this procedure has been enhanced by 3D imaging using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with computed tomography (CT) to improve preoperative localization and interpretation of sentinel nodes, as well as hybrid fluorescent and radioactive tracers to increase intraoperative localization of sentinel nodes. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET) with CT appears to be mainly useful for pelvic and distant staging in clinically node-positive patients. Other modalities with a potential future role in penile cancer are ultrasound with shear wave elastography, FDG-PET with MRI and ultrasmall paramagnetic iron oxide-enhanced MRI.
    Summary: Imaging modalities in penile cancer have advanced throughout the years, assisting in treatment decision-making and during invasive procedures.

    Abstract Background: Diffuse type adenocarcinoma and, more specifically, signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of the stomach and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) have a poor prognosis and the value of neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy (nCRT) is unclear.
    Methods: All patients who underwent surgery for diffuse type gastric and GEJ carcinoma between 2004 and 2015 were retrospectively included from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. The primary outcome was overall survival after surgery. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted. Furthermore, multivariable Poisson and Cox regressions were performed, correcting for confounders. To comply with the Cox regression proportional hazard assumption, gastric cancer survival was split into two groups, i.e. <90 days and >90 days, postoperatively by adding an interaction variable.
    Results: Analyses included 2046 patients with diffuse type cancer: 1728 gastric cancers (50% SRCC) and 318 GEJ cancers (39% SRCC). In the gastric cancer group, 49% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) and 51% received primary surgery (PS). All-cause mortality within 90 days postoperatively was lower after nCT (hazard ratio [HR] 0.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.20-0.44; p < 0.001). Also after 90 days, mortality was lower in the nCT group (HR for the interaction variable 2.84, 95% CI 1.87-4.30, p < 0.001; total HR 0.29*2.84 = 0.84). In the GEJ group, 38% received nCT, 22% received nCRT, and 39% received PS. All-cause mortality was lower after nCT (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.43-0.93; p = 0.020) compared with PS. The nCRT group was removed from the Cox regression analysis since the Kaplan-Meier curves of nCRT and PS intersected. The results for gastric and GEJ carcinomas were similar between the SRCC and non-SRCC subgroups.
    Conclusion: For gastric and GEJ diffuse type cancer, including SRCC, nCT was associated with increased survival.
