- The Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) survey is a large high-resolution spectroscopic survey using the newly commissioned High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectrograph (HERMES) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The HERMES spectrograph provides high-resolution (R ~ 28 000) spectra in four passbands for 392 stars simultaneously over a 2 deg field of view. The goal of the survey is to unravel the formation and evolutionary history of the Milky Way, using fossil remnants of ancient star formation events which have been disrupted and are now dispersed throughout the Galaxy. Chemical tagging seeks to identify such dispersed remnants solely from their common and unique chemical signatures; these groups are unidentifiable from their spatial, photometric or kinematic properties. To carry out chemical tagging, the GALAH survey will acquire spectra for a million stars down to V ~ 14. The HERMES spectra of FGK stars contain absorption lines from 29 elements including light proton-capture elements, α-elements, odd-Z elements, iron-peak elements and n-capture elements from the light and heavy s-process and the r-process. This paper describes the motivation and planned execution of the GALAH survey, and presents some results on the first-light performance of HERMES.

Consensus on molecular imaging and theranostics in neuroendocrine neoplasms
- 2021

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nuclear medicine plays an increasingly important role in the management neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Somatostatin analogue (SSA)-based positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) have been used in clinical trials and approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Focus 3 performed a multidisciplinary Delphi process to deliver a balanced perspective on molecular imaging and radionuclide therapy in well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). NETs form in cells that interact with the nervous system or in glands that produce hormones. These cells, called neuroendocrine cells, can be found throughout the body, but NETs are most often found in the abdomen, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. These tumours may also be found in the lungs, pancreas and adrenal glands. In addition to being rare, NETs are also complex and may be difficult to diagnose. Most NETs are non-functioning; however, a minority present with symptoms related to hypersecretion of bioactive compounds. NETs often do not cause symptoms early in the disease process. When diagnosed, substantial number of patients are already found to have metastatic disease. Several societies' guidelines address Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) management; however, many issues are still debated, due to both the difficulty in acquiring strong clinical evidence in a rare and heterogeneous disease and the different availability of diagnostic and therapeutic options across countries. EANM Focus 3 reached consensus on employing 68gallium-labelled somatostatin analogue ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA)-based PET/CT with diagnostic CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for unknown primary NET detection, metastatic NET, NET staging/restaging, suspected extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and suspected paraganglioma. Consensus was reached on employing 18fluorine-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) PET/CT in neuroendocrine carcinoma, G3 NET and in G1-2 NET with mismatched lesions (CT-positive/[68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA-negative). Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) was recommended for second line treatment for gastrointestinal NET with [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA uptake in all lesions, in G1/G2 NET at disease progression, and in a subset of G3 NET provided all lesions are positive at [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA. PRRT rechallenge may be used for in patients with stable disease for at least 1 year after therapy completion. An international consensus is not only a prelude to a more standardised management across countries but also serves as a guide for the direction to follow when designing new research studies.

A multi-site campaign to measure solar-like oscillations in Procyon. II. mode frequencies
- 2010

Ingår i: Astrophysical Journal. - 0004-637X .- 1538-4357. ; 713:2, s. 935-949

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have analyzed data from a multi-site campaign to observe oscillations in the F5 star Procyon. The data consist of high-precision velocities that we obtained over more than three weeks with 11 telescopes. A new method for adjusting the data weights allows us to suppress the sidelobes in the power spectrum. Stacking the power spectrum in a so-called echelle diagram reveals two clear ridges, which we identify with even and odd values of the angular degree (l = 0 and 2, and l = 1 and 3, respectively). We interpret a strong, narrow peak at 446 mu Hz that lies close to the l = 1 ridge as a mode with mixed character. We show that the frequencies of the ridge centroids and their separations are useful diagnostics for asteroseismology. In particular, variations in the large separation appear to indicate a glitch in the sound-speed profile at an acoustic depth of similar to 1000 s. We list frequencies for 55 modes extracted from the data spanning 20 radial orders, a range comparable to the best solar data, which will provide valuable constraints for theoretical models. A preliminary comparison with published models shows that the offset between observed and calculated frequencies for the radial modes is very different for Procyon than for the Sun and other cool stars. We find the mean lifetime of the modes in Procyon to be 1.29(-0.49)(+0.55) days, which is significantly shorter than the 2-4 days seen in the Sun.

ENETS standardized (synoptic) reporting for radiological imaging in neuroendocrine tumours
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of neuroendocrinology. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0953-8194 .- 1365-2826. ; 34:3 SI

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This expert consensus document represents an initiative by the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) to provide guidance for synoptic reporting of radiological examinations critical to the diagnosis, grading, staging and treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Template drafts for initial tumor staging and follow-up by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were established, based on existing institutional and organisational reporting templates relevant for NEN imaging, and applying the RadLex lexicon of radiological information (Radiological Society of North America), for consistency regarding the radiological terms. During the ENETS Scientific Advisory Board meeting 2018, the template drafts were subject to iterative interdisciplinary discussions among experts in imaging, surgery, gastroenterology, oncology and pathology. Members of the imaging group stated a strong preference for a combination of limited and standardised options by way of drop-down menus. Separate templates were produced for the initial work-up and for follow-up, respectively. To provide a detailed description of the radiological findings of the primary tumor and its local extension and spread, different templates were developed for bronchial, pancreatic and gastrointestinal NENs for CT and MRI, respectively. Each template was structured in 10 sections: clinical details, comparative imaging modality, acquisition technique, primary tumor findings, regional lymph node metastases, distant metastases, TNM classification, reference lesions according to RECIST 1.1, additional findings and conclusion. Two templates were developed for follow-up, for CT and MRI, respectively, and were specifically focused on assessment of therapy response. These included a qualitative response assessment, such as decrease of vascularisation and presence of necrosis, and a quantitative assessment according to RECIST 1.1 and the modified RECIST (mRECIST) for assessing tumor response following transarterial chemoembolisation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Lutetium peptide receptor radio nuclide therapy (Lu-PRRT) is an effective treatment for progressive, metastatic, somatostatin-receptor-positive, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (WD-NETs). Here, we report a single centre experience of real-world efficacy, long-term side effects, and challenges of this treatment. This was a retrospective analysis. All patients linked with our centre who had Lu-PRRT were included. Clinicopathological data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression. A total of 45 patients had Lu-PRRT, of those 30 (67%) were males, and 13 (29%) were more than 65 years old. The primary site was small intestine in 30 (67%) patients, pancreas in seven (16%) patients, and lung in three (7%) patients. The tumor was grade 1 in 15 (35%) patients, grade 2 in 22 (48%) patients, and grade 3 in six (13%) patients. A total of 41 (91%) patients had liver metastasis, and 20 (44%) patients had carcinoid syndrome. Lu-PRRT was the second-line therapy in all patients. Krenning's score was 4 in 36 (80%) patients and 3 in nine (20%) patients. The median waiting time to start Lu-PRRT therapy was 87 days. The median follow-up was 41 months. A total of 23 (51%) patients had a partial response, 18 (40%) patients had stable disease, and four (9%) patients had progression. None of the patients had a complete response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 38 months (95% CI: 25.8-50.1). The median overall survival (OS) was not reached. Nine patients died during follow-up (death from any cause). Prior treatment with targeted therapies or high dose somatostatin analogues were negative predictors of Lu-PRRT outcome (p-values of < .001 and < .045, respectively). There were two serious haematological toxicities, one patient developed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and the other developed chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Lu-PRRT is an effective second-line treatment for metastatic WD-NETs. The effect of targeted therapies on Lu-PRRT outcome was significant and needs to be clarified in further studies.
