Comparative StudyHybrid PET/MRI of large vessel vasculitis : Radiation dose compared to PET/CT with view on cumulative effective dose.
The diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is often challenging due to the various clinical appearances and the low prevalence. Hybrid imaging by positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) is a highly relevant imaging modality for diagnostics and disease surveillance but may be associated with a significant amount of radiation dose especially in patients with complications. ⋯ With PET/MRI, the radiation exposure can be significantly reduced with similar image quality and diagnostic impact. Patients with LVV have a higher risk of receiving a clinically relevant cumulative effective dose (CED) and PET/MRI should be made available to them.

Facilitators and barriers of long-term exercise adherence in healthcare workers formerly suffering from post-COVID-19 syndrome : A qualitative 1-year follow-up and quantitative pilot study of the COFIT trial.
Early exercise intervention studies showed promising positive effects of physical exercising on post-COVID-19 symptoms; however, little is known about long-term training adherence and what influences it. ⋯ The strongest post-COVID-19 associated facilitator for long-term exercise adherence is when the need for further reconditioning is felt. The strongest post-COVID-19 associated barrier is exhaustion. Availability of exercising in a group is a key factor in increasing long-term exercise adherence.
