The Kaplan–Meier product limit estimator showed that the median overall survival was 25.2 months (95% CI 14.0–33.6 months) in the completion group and 7.5 months (95% CI 3.3–14.2 months) in the without completion group (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.001).

We aim to examine whether PM uptake can be used as a marker of failed MS and measure the rate of PM activity presence in active CS with different dietary preparations.</p><h3>Materials and methods</h3><p>We retrospectively reviewed PET/CTs obtained with three different dietary preparations. Diet-A: 24-h ketogenic diet with overnight fasting (<i>n</i> = 94); Diet-B: 18-h fasting (<i>n</i> = 44); and Diet-C: 72-h daytime ketogenic diet with 3-day overnight fasting (<i>n</i> = 98).

PM activity is less common with a specific dietary preparation (72-h daytime ketogenic diet with 3-day overnight fasting), and if it is present with this particular preparation, the likelihood that the case being true active CS might be higher than the other traditional dietary preparations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8007,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nuclear Medicine","volume":"38 5","pages":"391 - 399"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140011998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
