It is used to access the blood vessels supplying the heart. Strontium-82 has a half-life of 25.5 days while Rubidium-82 has a half-life of 76 seconds. Heart muscles can take up Rubidium-82 efficiently through sodium–potassium pump. Compared with Technetium-99m, Rubidium-82 has higher uptake by the heart muscles. However, Rubidium-82 has lower ...
Experts say it could ‘revolutionise the way we diagnose myocarditis’, allowing early treatment and support.
1. Ketogenic Diet. Cancer cells rely on glucose for energy to grow. The ketogenic diet is a way to provide an alternative energy source to normal cells in the dog's body while starving the cancer ...
