We report a very rare case of incidental intrapericardial thyroid in a papillary thyroid cancer patient. Post ablation scan revealed iodine-131 (131I) uptake in the mid-chest. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) was performed and showed a 18F-FDG avid lesion between the right atrium and the ascending aorta, (which was) shown to be an ...

A 29-year-old female patient attended the clinic for a painless, mobile tumor in the left posterolateral cervical region. there were no associated clinical signs or personal or family history. the patient provided a computed tomography scan (ct) of the neck showing a 4 x 3 x 3 cm lesion lateral to the cervical vessels sparing the fat plane. there was contrast uptake, and the lesion had a homoge...

This study was undertaken to determine which biological site or immunological site in the HCG molecule is essential for uptake of HCG by the ovaries. HCG was obtained from the urine of patients with trophoblastic dieseases by adsorption on kaolin. This preparation gave two distinct immunological fractions on Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. One fraction (antigen-1; Ag-1) had both gonadotro...

DESCRIPTION A54-year-old female patientwas referred to our hospital for a chest x-ray due to chest discomfort of 2 months duration. She had a history of thyroid cancer. The chest x-ray demonstrated a large posterior mediastinal mass with smooth borders, displacing the trachea anteriorly (figures 1 and 2). Because of her history of thyroid cancer, a I total body scan was ordered to exclude metas...

Chadd, M. A., Gray, 0. P., and Davies, D. F. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 374. Thyroid function tests in the newborn. The 131I triiodothyronine (T3) resin uptake test reflects thyroid function more closely than other acceptable tests currently available. The T3 uptake and protein-bound iodine (PBI) level were estimated in 20 premature and 20 full-term infants at birth and at th...

131I-TM-601 is a 36-amino acid peptide, called chlorotoxin (TM-601), derived from scorpion venom labeled with I-131. TM-601 binds a receptor on the surface of tumor cells, and not on normal cells. A single dose of 131I-TM-601 administered intracranially to human xenografted mouse models of glioma has been shown to extend survival up to 269% in multiple studies. 131I-TM-601 is in a multi-center ...

A 42-year-old female with Graves' disease and papillary thyroid carcinoma with lung metastasis was referred to our hospital. After treatment of thyrotoxicosis with methimazole and Lugol's solution, she underwent total thyroidectomy. She was then given 131I twice to treat lung metastasis. However, 131I uptake into the lung was not clear in the scintigram. Both thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSA...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate 131I therapy in elderly patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism (SCH) due to nodular disease and who did not receive antithyroid drugs (ATDs), and the effect of the treatment on bone metabolism. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with TSH ≤ 0.1 mIU/L and non-voluminous goiter (< 60 cm³) were studied. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed in 17 women with osteop...

The factors a!ecting the uptake of 131I in Chinese white cabbage (Brassica Chinensis Linn) were studied. The time required for the ratio between the activity in the vegetable (Bq kg~1 dry mass) and the activity in the soil (Bq kg~1 dry mass) to reach equilibrium was around 72 h derived from an investigation period of 145 h. The ratio was also dependent on the mass of the vegetable (increased by...
