radioiodine and thyroid gland

administration of a precise amount of activity in thyroid gland radioiodine (¹³¹i) therapy is of prime importance. several methods for this purpose have been suggested and used over many years. in this paper, a method for required ¹³¹i activity calculation for each case has been proposed. major factors affecting ¹³¹i calculation such as gland volume, integral dose, and prescription index have b...

Acromegaly and the thyroid gland

Acromegaly is a chronic disease caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), most frequently from a pituitary somatotropic adenoma. Its prevalence was estimated at 60–70 cases per million people, but in recent years it seems to be higher (even 86 cases per million). Approximately 3-4 new cases of acromegaly are annually diagnosed per million people. In acromegalic patients, the mortality ra...

Perchlorate and the thyroid gland.

Perchlorate competitively blocks iodide from entering the thyroid by an effect on the Na+/I- symporter thus preventing the further synthesis of thyroid hormone but has no effect on the iodination process itself. It is concentrated by thyroid tissue in a manner similar to iodide but is not significantly metabolized in the gland or peripherally. What is not settled is whether there are additional...
