Somatostatin significantly suppresses growth hormone secretion during amino acid infusion, while ACTH and cortisol responses are partly preserved, indicating differential sensitivity.

Not reported in abstract.

summary

B

grade

Quantitative SPECT/CT metrics like kBq/ml max and SUVmax may correlate with volumetric changes in liver metastases during PRRT, but the small sample size limits the conclusions.

Lesion volume, kBq/ml max, and SUVmax significantly decreased from baseline to final evaluation (all p<0.01).

Integrating DOTATATE-PET imaging with custom implants may improve surgical outcomes for patients with hyperostosing spheno-orbital meningiomas, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Not reported in abstract.

grade

In patients with sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia, intravenous infusion of octreotide may lead to more hypoglycemic events compared to bolus or subcutaneous administration.

Median post-octreotide hypoglycemic events were zero for bolus, 1.5 for infusion, and zero for subcutaneous groups.

This study suggests that double emulsions can enhance the permeability of certain compounds during digestion, but octreotide permeability did not improve.

∼4-fold increase in FD-4 permeability for the digested emulsions.

Octreotide significantly alters the structure of sodium caprate aggregates, which could impact oral peptide delivery systems, though clinical relevance is not established.

Aggregation numbers approaching 18,000 in the presence of octreotide.

B

grade

Octreotide treatment did not result in tumor shrinkage in any of the 21 patients with metastatic GEP tumors, and its clinical impact appears limited.

None of the 21 patients had documented shrinkage of the tumor mass.

SMS 201-995 significantly inhibits increases in serum gastrin during omeprazole therapy, which may be relevant for patients with severe hypergastrinaemia.

Not reported in abstract.

summary

B

grade

Octreotide treatment resulted in lower GH mRNA levels in adenomas compared to non-treated patients, but the clinical significance of these findings is unclear due to the small sample size.

GH mRNA in octreotide-treated adenomas was 4.2 +/- 1.8 (mean +/- SEM) in arbitrary units.

summary

B

grade

SITT significantly reduces the risk of rebleeding compared to endoscopy, but it does not lower mortality rates. Adding terlipressin does not offer additional benefits and may increase adverse events.

HR=0.31; 95% CI: 0.15–0.65; P=0.002 for rebleeding risk within six weeks comparing SITT to SET.

summary

grade

Integrating 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT with conventional imaging may improve target delineation in radiotherapy planning for intracranial meningiomas, but further validation is needed.

PET-based GTVs were significantly smaller than MRI-based volumes (12.01 ± 12.77 cm³ vs. 20.02 ± 18.71 cm³, p = 0.012).

Larger preload meal sizes may lead to increased insulin and decreased acyl ghrelin, potentially influencing satiety and eating behavior in adults without obesity.

Not reported in abstract.

summary

B

grade

PRRT is a treatment option for patients with inoperable progression after hepatic cytoreduction, but the study does not support claims of its superiority over other therapies.

Median OS was 97 months.

grade

Skin lesions can sometimes indicate serious underlying conditions like neuroendocrine carcinoma, highlighting the need for thorough evaluation and timely intervention.

Not reported in abstract.

summary

B

grade

This study found that octreotide, cabergoline, and pasireotide modestly reduced cell viability in patient-derived cultures, with responder rates of 33-40%. The results suggest potential correlations with established clinical predictors.

Median cell viability reduction of 84-86%, p < 0.05.

Operative mortality for carcinoid heart disease is now 5–6% in high-volume centers, and continuous octreotide infusion can reduce carcinoid crisis incidence.

5–6% operative mortality in contemporary high-volume centres.

Persistent high-volume drainage on postoperative day 4 may indicate the need for advanced treatment options like TPN or Octreotide in managing chylous ascites.

830 mL on POD 4 serves as a significant clinical predictor for standardizing the timing of advanced conservative intervention.
