Ischaemia imaging in type 2 diabetic kidney transplant candidates--is coronary angiography essential?
DSE is a poor predictor of coronary artery disease in type 2 DM patients being evaluated for renal transplantation. CA should be included in evaluation of type 2 diabetic patients who are renal transplant candidates.
Adoptive transfer of CD4(+)CD25(-)CD62L(+) T cells in severe combined immunodeficient mice results in a moderate chronic colitis. Evolution of colitis could be monitored over time by both colonoscopy and µPET/CT. µPET/CT seems to detect inflammation at an earlier time point than colonoscopy. Both techniques represent reliable and safe methods without the need to kill animals.
