[ 1 ] - Factors affecting the quality of life of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients: A cross-sectional study on 435 Iranian patients
Introduction: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is associated with excellent prognosis and high survival rates. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of baseline and treatment-related factors on the health related quality of life (QoL) in cured DTC. Methods:This study was an analytic cross-sectional study on radio-iodine (RAI) treated DT...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of a new 99mTc-Bombesin analog in differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors
Introduction: The gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptor is over expressed in a variety of common human tumors. Radiolabeled bombesin analogues have exhibited high binding affinity for these receptors. The aim of this study was to assess the value of a new 99mTc-bombesin analog in the differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors. Methods: 99mTc-bombesin scans ...
[ 3 ] - Changes in salivary gland function following radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases: A comparison of high-dose therapy for thyroid cancer and low-dose therapy for benign thyroid disease
Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...
[ 4 ] - Accuracy of modification of diet for renal disease and Cockcroft-Gault equations as compared to the radioisotope double sample method: A study in patients with acute renal failure
Introduction: We intended to assess the accuracy of re-expressed Modification of Diet for Renal Disease (MDRD) and Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in chronic kidney disease in two different etiologies of acute renal failure (ARF): acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and acute glomerulonephritis (AGN). Methods: Patients admitted for ARF or the patients compl...
