PET-CT Imaging in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Narrative Review on Risk Stratification and Prognosis by Patrícia Marques-Alves, Lino Gonçalves, Maria João Ferreira

“…Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous cardiac disease and one of its major challenges is the limited accuracy in stratifying the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Positron emission tomography (PET), through the evaluation of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and metabolism using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, can reveal microvascular dysfunction, ischemia, and increased metabolic demands in the hypertrophied myocardium. …”

The impact of data from future lepton colliders on light hadrons fragmentation functions by Bin Zhou, Jun Gao

“…The high luminosity and high energies of future lepton colliders allow for quark flavor separations and ensure a precise determination of FFs based solely on data from electron-positron collisions. We find that either the CEPC, FCC-ee or ILC can significantly reduce the uncertainties of FFs in a wide kinematic range, compared to the NPC23 set obtained with a global analysis to current world data. …”
