Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) has recently emerged as a highly promising approach for the management of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), especially in patients with disease progression despite standard treatments. Among alpha-emitter radiopharmaceuticals, actinium-225-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen ([225Ac]Ac-PSMA) has shown remarkable potential due to its high linear energy transfer (LET), short path length, and ability to induce potent, localised cytotoxic effects. This review summarises current clinical evidence regarding [225Ac]Ac-PSMA radioligand therapy (RLT), emphasising its efficacy, safety profile, and position relative to beta-emitter therapy with lutetium-177 ([177Lu]Lu-PSMA). Data from compassionate-use programs and small clinical trials demonstrate that [225Ac]Ac-PSMA produces significant biochemical and imaging responses, including > 50% declines in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and lesion regression on [68Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT, even in heavily pre-treated mCRPC cohorts. Xerostomia, renal toxicity, and haematological adverse effects remain the main safety challenges, necessitating optimisation of patient selection, dosing strategies, and salivary gland protection protocols. Compared with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA, [225Ac]Ac-PSMA appears effective even in cases of beta-refractory disease, highlighting its complementary role rather than a competitive alternative. However, limited availability, high production costs, and the lack of large-scale, randomised trials hinder widespread clinical adoption. Future directions include combination protocols, improved radiopharmaceutical design, and trials evaluating its use in earlier disease stages. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical aspects of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA RLT and its evolving role in advanced prostate cancer management.

Assimilating a complex fluid with a fractal object, non-differentiable behaviors in its dynamics are analyzed. Complex fluid dynamics in the form of hydrodynamic-type fractal regimes imply “holographic implementations” through velocity fields at non-differentiable scale resolution, via fractal solitons, fractal solitons–fractal kinks, and fractal minimal vortices. Complex fluid dynamics in the form of Schrödinger type fractal regimes imply “holographic implementations”, through the formalism of Airy functions of fractal type. Then, the in-phase coherence of the dynamics of the complex fluid structural units induces various operational procedures in the description of such dynamics: special cubics with SL(2R)-type group invariance, special differential geometry of Riemann type associated to such cubics, special apolar transport of cubics, special harmonic mapping principle, etc. In such a manner, a possible scenario toward chaos (a period-doubling scenario), without concluding in chaos (nonmanifest chaos), can be mimed.

Background/Objectives: The Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scan clearly images the renal cortex, highlighting functional tissue areas and indicating regions of renal scarring, infection, malformations, or other types of renal damage. To enhance the management of paediatric cases involving renal malformations and to reduce the incidence of chronic and progressive kidney diseases in “future adults”, our study aims to identify and categorise various renal anomalies. Methods: This has been achieved by analysing the Tc-99m DMSA renal scans of a large cohort of 931 children diagnosed with different renal pathologies. After interpreting the scans, we categorised the renal malformations and cortical modifications into four groups: kidney number anomalies, positional anomalies, structural anomalies, and shape anomalies. Results: There has been a notable increase in the demand for renal scintigraphy in recent years, rising from 82 cases in 2019 to 183 cases in 2024. Structural anomalies were the most common type of malformations (73% from all patients), featuring a significant variety of cortical modifications. In total, 98 cases (93% from kidney number anomalies and 10.5% from all children) were diagnosed with renal agenesis. Additionally, 30 children (3.2% from all patients) had positional anomalies, primarily ectopic kidneys, and 54 patients (5.8% from all cases) had shape malformations, especially fused kidneys. Conclusions: Combining the Tc-99m DMSA renal scan with ultrasound provides a more reliable diagnosis of paediatric renal progressive diseases. A more accurate diagnosis allows for quicker treatment and prevention of potential complications, ultimately improving the quality of life and decreasing hospital costs of paediatric patients becoming adults.

A correlation between the informational Universe and various structures of the Universe (atom, planetary systems, galaxy pairs etc.) are established. The link between these structures can be found in the concept of holography, which can be mathematically explicated through multifractality.

Background: Technology allows us to predict a histopathological diagnosis, but the high costs prevent the large-scale use of these possibilities. The current liberal indication for surgery in benign thyroid conditions led to a rising frequency of incidental thyroid carcinoma, especially low-risk papillary micro-carcinomas. Methods: We selected a cohort of 148 patients with thyroid nodules by ultrasound characteristics and investigated them by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)and prospective BRAF collection for 70 patients. Also, we selected 44 patients with thyroid nodules using semi-quantitative functional imaging with an oncological, ^99mTc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (^99mTc-MIBI) radiotracer. Results: Following a correlation with final histopathological reports in patients who underwent thyroidectomy, we introduced the results in a machine learning program (AI) in order to obtain a pattern. For semi-quantitative functional visual pattern imaging, we found a sensitivity of 33%, a specificity of 66.67%, an accuracy of 60% and a negative predicting value (NPV) of 88.6%. For the wash-out index (WOind), we found a sensitivity of 57.14%, a specificity of 50%, an accuracy of 70% and an NPV of 90.06%.The results of BRAF in FNAC included 87.50% sensitivity, 75.00% specificity, 83.33% accuracy, 75.00% NPV and 87.50% PPV. The prevalence of malignancy in our small cohort was 11.4%. Conclusions: We intend to continue combining preoperative investigations such as molecular detection in FNAC, ^99mTc-MIBI scanning and AI training with the obtained results on a larger cohort. The combination of these investigations may generate an efficient and cost-effective diagnostic tool, but confirmation of the results on a larger scale is necessary.
