Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-PET/CT appears superior to standard FDG-PET/CT for detecting gastrointestinal cancer, with higher radiotracer uptake seen in most tumors, according to a study published October 26 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. In a clinical trial, researchers in Xiamen, China, compared the two approaches for detecting primary and metastatic tumors in patients with confirmed gastric, liver, or pancreatic cancer.

Background: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of trauma related mortality. The initial injury is often complicated by multifactorial coagulopathy that can exacerbate bleeding. Fibrinogen is the precursor to fibrin and a major component of stable clot formation. Fibrinogen and fibrin are often depleted during major trauma as a result of consumption, breakdown, and dilution.
