Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomograpy (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in nodal staging before radical cystectomy (RC) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) for bladder cancer (BCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS This analysis was based on a cohort of 199 BCa patients undergoing RC and bilateral PLND between 2015 and 2022. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) or immunotherapy (NAI) was administered after oncological evaluation. All patients received preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT to assess extravesical disease. Point estimates for true negative, false negative, false positive, true positive, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of conventional imaging and PET/CT were calculated. Subgroup analysis in patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment was performed. RESULTS At preoperative evaluation, 30 patients (15.1%) had 48 suspicious nodal spots on 18F-FDG PET/CT. At RC and bilateral PLND, a total of 4871 lymph nodes (LNs) were removed with 237 node metastases corresponding to 126 different regions. Pathological node metastases were found in 17/30 (57%) vs 39/169 patients (23%) with suspicious vs negative preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT, respectively (sensitivity = 0.30, specificity = 0.91, PPV = 0.57, NPV = 0.77, accuracy = 0.74). On per-region analysis including 1367 nodal regions, LN involvement was found in 19/48 (39%) vs 105/1319 (8%) suspicious vs negative regions at PET/CT, respectively (sensitivity = 0.15, specificity = 0.98, PPV = 0.40, NPV = 0.92, ACC = 0.90). Similar results were observed for patients receiving NAC (n = 44, 32.1%) and NAI (n = 93, 67.9% [per-patient: sensitivity = 0.36, specificity = 0.91, PPV = 0.59, NPV = 0.80, accuracy = 0.77; per-region: sensitivity = 0.12, specificity = 0.98, PPV = 0.32, NPV = 0.93, ACC = 0.91]). Study limitations include its retrospective design and limited patient numbers. CONCLUSIONS In eight out of 10 patients with negative preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT, pN0 disease was confirmed at final pathology. No differences were found based on NAC vs NAI treatment. These findings suggest that 18F-FDG PET/CT could play a role in the preoperative evaluation of nodal metastases in BCa patients, although its cost-effectiveness is uncertain.

Abstract
Despite evidence of the beneficial effects of cannabidiol (CBD) in animal models of cocaine use disorder (CUD), CBD neuronal mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of CBD treatment on brain glucose metabolism, in a CUD animal model, using [18F]FDG positron emission tomography (PET). Male C57Bl/6 mice were injected with cocaine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) every other day for 9 days, followed by 8 days of CBD administration (30 mg/kg, i.p.). After 48 h, animals were challenged with cocaine. Control animals received saline/vehicle. [18F]FDG PET was performed at four time points: baseline, last day of sensitization, last day of withdrawal/CBD treatment, and challenge. Subsequently, the animals were euthanized and immunohistochemistry was performed on the hippocampus and amygdala to assess the CB1 receptors, neuronal nuclear protein, microglia (Iba1), and astrocytes (GFAP). Results showed that cocaine administration increased [18F]FDG uptake following sensitization. CBD treatment also increased [18F]FDG uptake in both saline and cocaine groups. However, animals that were sensitized and challenged with cocaine, and those receiving only an acute cocaine injection during the challenge phase, did not exhibit increased [18F]FDG uptake when treated with CBD. Furthermore, CBD induced modifications in the integrated density of NeuN, Iba, GFAP, and CB1R in the hippocampus and amygdala. This is the first study addressing the impact of CBD on brain glucose metabolism in a preclinical model of CUD using PET. Our findings suggest that CBD disrupts cocaine-induced changes in brain energy consumption and activity, which might be correlated with alterations in neuronal and glial function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION 18F-Fluoro-deoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a supportive biomarker in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) diagnosis and its advanced analysis methods, including radiomics and machine learning (ML), were developed recently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the FDG-PET diagnostic performance in predicting a DLB versus Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. METHODS FDG-PET scans were visually and semi-quantitatively analyzed in 61 patients. Radiomics and ML analyses were performed, building five ML models: (1) clinical features; (2) visual and semi-quantitative PET features; (3) radiomic features; (4) all PET features; and (5) overall features. RESULTS At follow-up, 34 patients had DLB and 27 had AD. At visual analysis, DLB PET signs were significantly more frequent in DLB, having the highest diagnostic accuracy (86.9%). At semi-quantitative analysis, the right precuneus, superior parietal, lateral occipital, and primary visual cortices showed significantly reduced uptake in DLB. The ML model 2 had the highest diagnostic accuracy (84.3%). DISCUSSION FDG-PET is a valuable tool in DLB diagnosis, having visual and semi-quantitative analyses with the highest diagnostic accuracy at ML analyses.

Fessel J. Does synaptic hypometabolism or synaptic dysfunction, originate cognitive loss? Analysis of the evidence. Alzheimers Dement (N Y) 2021; 7:e12177.

Abstract
Elderly persons with currently normal cognition who have cerebral hypometabolism as shown by low uptake of 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), are at risk of future loss of cognition and, thus, of future Alzheimer's dementia (AD). Reduction of either 18F-FDG or cognition is assumed to reflect synaptic dysfunction, since synapses account for the majority of glucose use by the brain and cognition depends upon accurate synaptic function. The chronology of the connection between reduced cerebral synaptic function and hypometabolism is, therefore, a critical question, because if synaptic dysfunction came first, then correcting the hypometabolism would likely not benefit synaptic function; but if hypometabolism came first, then correcting the hypometabolism probably would benefit synaptic function. That correction might prevent initiation of the cognitive loss that eventuates in AD and, thereby, would benefit the vast numbers of persons in their eighth to tenth decades of life who are at risk for AD. Among the many citations reviewed in this presentation, seven show hypometabolism that precedes synaptic dysfunction, and two show the reverse. Thus the preponderance of evidence, 78%, suggests that the initiating event is synaptic hypometabolism and that it is 3.5-fold less likely that synaptic dysfunction is the initiator. In addition, it is inherently unlikely that synaptic dysfunction causes hypometabolism. This conclusion could be tested by a clinical trial whose primary objective would be to assess the benefit to cognition of improving synaptic metabolism in patients who are at risk for cognitive loss.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compared the clinical value of 16a-18F-fluoro-17b-estradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT and investigated whether and how 18F-FES PET/CT affects the implemented management of newly diagnosed estrogen receptor positive breast cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 19 female patients newly diagnosed with immunohistochemistry-confirmed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer who underwent 18F-FES and 18F-FDG PET/CT within 1 week in our center. The sensitivity of 18F-FES and 18F-FDG in diagnosed lesions were compared. To investigate the definite clinical impact of 18F-FES on managing patients with newly diagnosed ER positive breast cancer, we designed two kinds of questionnaires. Referring physicians completed the first questionnaire based on the 18F-FDG report to propose the treatment regime, and the second was completed immediately after reviewing the imaging report of 18F-FES to indicate intended management changes. RESULTS In total, 238 lesions were analyzed in 19 patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer. Lesion detection was achieved in 216 sites with 18F-FES PET and in 197 sites with 18F-FDG PET/CT. These results corresponded to sensitivities of 90.8% for 18F-FES versus 82.8% for 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosed lesions. Thirty-five physicians were given the questionnaires referring to the treatment strategy, with 27 of them completing both questionnaires. The application of 18F-FES in addition to 18F-FDG PET/CT changed the management in 26.3% of the 19 patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer. CONCLUSION Performing 18F-FES PET/CT in newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer patients increases the value of diagnosis equivocal lesions and treatment management compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This study investigated whether 16a-18F-fluoro-17b-estradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) affects the clinical management of patients with newly diagnosed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Physicians completing two questionnaires comparing the clinical impact of 18F-FES and 18F-FDG on individual management plans in patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer confirmed that 18F-FES scans led to change in management in 26.3% of the 19 patients with newly diagnosed ER positive breast cancer. This retrospective study indicates the potential impact of 18F-FES PET/CT on intended management of patients with newly diagnosed estrogen receptor positive breast cancer in comparison to 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET/CT.

Abstract
Infectious lymph nodes mimicking lymphoma is challenging for accurate staging. Although 18F-FDG is a nonspecific tracer accumulating not only in tumor cells but also in inflammatory tissues, the metabolic features and uptake kinetics give valuable information: 18F-FDG PET/CT appears as a useful problem solver tool in ambiguous situation.
