sodium iodide-131 is administrated for treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. iodine-131 has multiple routs of excretion (urine, saliva, sweat, milk, feces, exhalation) from the body. patients receiving sodium iodide-131 therapy exposes other persons and the environment to unwanted radiation and contamination. the major source of radiation dose from administration of iodine-131 is ext...

Acute and excessive iodine supplementation leads to iodine-induced thyroid cytotoxicity. Excessive oxidative stress has been suggested to be one of the underlying mechanisms in the development of thyroid cytotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether vitamin E (VE), an important antioxidant, could ameliorate iodine-induced thyroid cytotoxicity. A goiter was induced in rats by fe...

The practical calibration rooms for neutron measuring devices are relatively small, where a large amount of room-reflected neutrons arise. Moreover the different structures of neutron irradiation apparatus influence the neutron spectrum and reference dose considerably. Therefore the influence of the neutron scattering was investigated in the three calibration rooms in different sizes and instal...

Background and objectives: Thyroid hormone exercises vital role in the event of development of central nervous system in stage of fetal life, childhood, and maintains tropic action in adulthood and also in aging. Deficiency in thyroid hormones responsible for impairment of mental performance. Inadequate iodine intake was is the major health problem. Use of iodized salt is now in vogue globally ...

In the event of a radiological accident caused by an external source, estimating the dose distribution in the victim's body is a relevant indicator in assessing biological damage from this exposure. This dose distribution can be assessed by physical dosimetric reconstruction methods. Physical dosimetric reconstruction can be achieved using experimental or numerical techniques. This article pres...

A novel co-crystal, [(BTEMPO)2(2+)·4I2·2I5(-)] (BTEMPO(+) = 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxoammonium cation), was successfully constructed using iodine and 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy free radical (BTEMPO) as starting materials and was well characterized by XRD, Raman and calculation. The co-crystal possesses a fascinating 3D anionic cage structure formed ...

Patients with Graves' disease can be medically prepared before surgery in different ways, which may have various effects on iodine stores. Thyroid specimens were collected at surgery from two patients pretreated with propylthiouracil (PTU) and stable iodine, respectively. A quantitative analysis of iodine content was performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) in frozen tissue and a qualitative an...

− This contribution deals with the investigation of uncertainties achievable through stabilization of lasers using saturated absorption in iodine vapour. The main focus is on the iodine cell technology and evaluation. We present results from two independent methods for the measurement of the purity of molecular iodine in absorption cells. The purity was tested by improved method based on measur...

The calculation of nuclear parameters within fusion facilities is complicated by the complex geometry and large size of the proposed buildings housing the reactors. These complications make it impossible to use a single model, or code, to calculate the transport of neutrons from the plasma out into the rest of the building. In this paper, coupling two calculational models is demonstrated in cal...

BACKGROUND Quantitative biodistribution, venous blood and excretion data have been obtained following the intravenous bolus injection of AH113804 (18F) Injection in six healthy volunteers (HVs), four males and two females, up to approximately 5 h post-injection. For each subject, key organs and tissues were delineated and analytical fits were made to the image data as functions of time to yield...
