The Journal of Nuclear Medicine Ahead-of-Print Tip Sheet: April 11, 2025

2025-04-11
(Press-News.org) Reston, VA (April 11, 2025)—New research has been published ahead-of-print by The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). JNM is published by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, an international scientific and medical organization dedicated to advancing nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and theranostics—precision medicine that allows diagnosis and treatment to be tailored to individual patients in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Summaries of the newly published research articles are provided below.

Tracing Prostate Cancer Beyond the Usual Path
Researchers uncovered rare cases of prostate cancer spreading to the testicles using advanced PSMA PET/CT scans. In a review of nearly 100 patients, six showed hidden metastases despite normal ultrasounds. These unexpected findings could change how doctors monitor recurring prostate cancer in men after initial treatment.

Clear PET Scans with Less Radiation
A new ultra-low-dose PET scanning method using long-axial-field-of-view technology and a CT-free correction technique (LSO-TX) produced high-quality images in just 20–30 minutes. By harnessing background radiation from scanner materials, this approach may reduce radiation exposure without compromising diagnostic image quality in cancer and metabolic imaging.

A fluid battery that can take any shape

A fluid battery that can take any shape
2025-04-11
Using electrodes in a fluid form, researchers at Linköping University have developed a battery that can take any shape. This soft and conformable battery can be integrated into future technology in a completely new way. Their study has been published in the journal Science Advances. “The texture is a bit like toothpaste. The material can, for instance, be used in a 3D printer to shape the battery as you please. This opens up for a new type of technology,” says Aiman Rahmanudin, assistant professor at Linköping University. It is estimated that more than a trillion gadgets will be connected to the Internet in ten years’ time. In addition to traditional ...

Light that spirals like a nautilus shell

Light that spirals like a nautilus shell
2025-04-11
Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create unique patterns. The way the light behaves resembles spiral shapes common in nature.  The ...

Transforming doors into gateways to the virtual world: the future of mixed reality!
2025-04-11
Ikoma, Japan—People seeking to feel fully immersed in virtual environments will soon be able to experience a revolutionary approach to spatial computing that bridges the gap between real and digital worlds. A collaborative research team from NTT DOCOMO, Inc. and Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan, has developed a novel mixed reality (MR) technology that transforms how users interact with virtual spaces by using everyday real-world doors as natural transition points. Virtual reality (VR) and MR technologies have ...

Human-AI relationships pose ethical issues, psychologists say

2025-04-11
It’s becoming increasingly commonplace for people to develop intimate, long-term relationships with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. At their extreme, people have “married” their AI companions in non-legally binding ceremonies, and at least two people have killed themselves following AI chatbot advice. In an opinion paper publishing April 11 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, psychologists explore ethical issues associated with human-AI relationships, including their potential to disrupt human-human relationships and give harmful advice.  “The ...

Abortion rates remain relatively stable in Canada, while rates spike in UK, Europe, and US

Abortion rates remain relatively stable in Canada, while rates spike in UK, Europe, and US
2025-04-11
Vancouver, BC, April 11, 2025 – A new study finds that, unlike countries across the UK and Europe, abortion rates did not spike in Ontario, Canada from 2020-2022.  Following decades-long declines in nearly all high-income settings, abortion rate trends reversed between 2020 and 2022 in many countries. For example, 2022 and 2023 saw the highest abortion rates on record in Scotland, England, and Wales.   Researchers from the University of British Columbia and ICES found that, after accounting for changes in the abortion rate when the ...

Hundred-year storm tides will occur every few decades in Bangladesh, scientists report

2025-04-11
Tropical cyclones are hurricanes that brew over the tropical ocean and can travel over land, inundating coastal regions. The most extreme cyclones can generate devastating storm tides — seawater that is heightened by the tides and swells onto land, causing catastrophic flood events in coastal regions. A new study by MIT scientists finds that, as the planet warms, the recurrence of destructive storm tides will increase tenfold for one of the hardest-hit regions of the world. In a study that will appear in One Earth, the scientists ...

Risk factors for severe disease among children hospitalized with RSV

2025-04-11
About The Study: In this cohort study of children hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in 2022 and 2023, severe RSV disease was more likely among those age 2 or older with pulmonary and neurologic, neuromuscular, or developmental conditions. For children younger than 2 years, age younger than 6 months and prematurity were the main risk factors. These findings support prevention strategies for all younger children, including premature infants, with potential benefit for children age 2 or older ...

Watch a live catalytic event in real time

Watch a live catalytic event in real time
2025-04-11
A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from an alcohol molecule. By viewing the process in real time, the researchers discovered several short-lived intermediate molecules involved in the reaction as well as a previously hidden reaction pathway. The observations were made possible by single-molecule atomic-resolution time-resolved electron microscopy (SMART-EM), a powerful instrument that enables researchers to watch individual ...
