Measurement of Thyroid Iodine Uptake in Healthy Subjects Living in Tehran

Iodine Uptake Restoration in Thyroid Cancer

Extremity Radioactive Iodine Uptake on Post-therapeutic Whole Body Scan in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Objective(s): We investigated a frequency of lower extremity uptake on the radioactive iodine (RAI) whole body scan (WBS) after RAI treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, in order to retrospectively examine whether or not the frequency was pathological. Methods: This retrospective study included 170 patients with thyroid cancer, undergoing RAI treatment. Overall, 99r (58%) an...

Serum concentration of Selenium in healthy individuals living in Tehran

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether daily diet provides adequate selenium intake in healthy men and women living in Tehran, Iran. METHOD Serum level of selenium was determined in 184 healthy individuals of both genders. The samples were divided into two age groups, adults and children, for analysis. The serum level of selenium was determined using hydride generation and flame atomic absorption s...

Goiter Prevalence, Urinary Iodine and Thyroid Function Tests in Inhibitants of Tehran City

Introduction: As the production, distribution and consumption of iodised salt has increased in recent years, this study was carried out to monitor the IDD control program in Tehran, in 1996.   Methods:1146 families comprising 5140 subjects intwenty districts of Tehran City from all age groups were randomly selected. Thyroid size was examined by palpation and graded according to WHO classifica...

Value of technetium scintigraphy and iodine uptake measurement during follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer.

UNLABELLED Measurement of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels and I-131 whole body scintigraphy (WBS) are used in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This study was designed to evaluate the significance of persistent I-131 uptake in the thyroid bed in patients with DTC following surgery and/or radioactive iodine ablation. Tc-99m thyroid scintigraphy (TS) and I-131 th...

Phase Angle Measurement in Healthy Human Subjects through Bio-Impedance Analysis

Objective(s)Bioelectrical impedance is the measure of impedance of the body. Impedance consists of electric resistance and reactance. Phase angle (PA) is the tan value of the ratio of reactance versus electric resistance. PA depends on cell membrane integrity and on body cell mass. There exists a correlation between PA values and body cell mass.The objective of this study was to compare the PA ...
