myxoma/carbohydrate

BACKGROUND Intramuscular myxoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor. The lack of specific symptoms and widely used laboratory tests makes the diagnosis quite difficult. We present a case of an Intramuscular myxoma associated with an increased carbohydrate antigen 19.9 level. To the best of our

Sialyl Lewis(x) (SLe(x), Siaα2-3Galβ1-4(Fucα1-3)GlcNAcβOR) is an important sialic acid-containing carbohydrate epitope involved in many biological processes such as inflammation and cancer metastasis. In the biosynthetic process of SLe(x), α2-3-sialyltransferase-catalyzed sialylation generally

The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether integrated (18)F-FDG PET/MR imaging could improve the diagnostic workup in patients with cardiac masses. METHODS Twenty patients were prospectively assessed using integrated cardiac (18)F-FDG PET/MR imaging: 16 patients with cardiac masses
