Novel approaches to diagnostic imaging of locally advanced cervical cancer by N. G. Trukhacheva, I. G. Frolova, L. A. Kolomiets, A. V. Usova, E. G. Grigor’ev, S. A. Velichko, O. N. Churuksaeva

“…However, the use of functional mRitechniques has not yet been included in the standards. cervical cancer tissue has been found to show significantly lower diffusion-weighted imaging (dWi) values than normal cervical tissue, thus facilitating the detection of tumor and its spread. dWiis also used for differentiating changes after biopsy from residual tumor and for identifying small lymph nodes. the pEt/cttechnique combines the metabolic images of pEtwith anatomical images of ctand is more accurate than high resolution ctalone, especially in determining the involvement of regional lymph nodes and distant organs. 18-Fdg-pEt/cthas been successfully used for accurate staging of the disease (especially late stage), assessment of treatment response, radiotherapy planning, and detection of disease progression. in patients with advanced stages of cervical cancer (iiBiV stage), the 18-Fdg-pEt/ ctfindings can determine the treatment strategy in most cases, primarily due to high sensitivity (75–100 %) and specificity (87–100 %) in the detection of lymph node metastases.…”

Consumers’ acceptance and willingness to pay for enriched foods: Evidence from a choice experiment in Italy by Concetta Nazzaro, Marcello Stanco, Anna Uliano, Giuseppe Marotta

“…In particular, consumers are showing an increasing interest in food innovation and towards foods capable to produce health benefits, such as enriched foods, which can be considered as functional foods. As consumer acceptance is crucial to the success of food innovation, this study aims to investigate consumers’ acceptance for two innovative enriched foods: extra virgin olive oil enriched with longchain Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), and a lutein-enriched durum wheat pasta. …”
