Isotopes utilized in nuclear medicine fall into two broad categories: Stable and Unstable. Stable isotopes do not undergo radioactive decay. WHAT IS A STABLE ISOTOPE? A stable isotope is any of two or more forms of an element whos nuclei contains the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons. Stable isotopes remain unchanged indefinitely, but unstable (radioactive) isotopes undergo spontaneous disintegration.
Langostino is a Spanish word with different meanings in different areas. In the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of the squat lobster, which is neither a true lobster nor a prawn. Squat lobsters are more closely related to porcelain and hermit crabs. Crustaceans labeled as langostino are no more than 8 cm (3 in) long, and weigh no more than 200 g (7 oz). Langostinos are not langoustes (spiny lobsters) despite a similar name (in Spanish, lobster is called langosta).
Crostini (meaning little crusts in Italian; singular crostino) are an Italian appetizer consisting of small slices of grilled or toasted bread and toppings. The toppings may include a variety of different cheeses, meats, and vegetables, or may be presented more simply with a brush of olive oil and herbs or a sauce.
