Experimental research were effectuated to establish the effect of storage time under refrigeration (+2oC) and freezing (-18oC) on the quality of three alimentary animal fats: pork lard, beef tallow and poultry fat. In assessing the various stages of oxidative changes, iodine value (IV), saponification value (SV), refractive index value (RIV), peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive...

Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is a major public health problem in several areas of the world, especially developing countries. deficiency can cause goitre, cretinism, decrease intelligence, mental retardation, brain damage, deaf-mutism, and miscarriage pregnant women stillbirth as well. The purpose this research was to determine stability iodine content kinetics reaction rate fortified rice...

Background: Ionizing radiation irradiated from iodine-131 can induce DNA damage and cell death. The cellular DNA damage is the cause of mutation and cancer. The micronucleus assay in polychromatic erythrocytes was applied to assess the radio-protective effect of Turmeric extract on genotoxic potential of iodine therapy. Materials and Methods: Thirty six male albino rats were randomly divided in...

Objectives: To detect and compare the sensitivity and specificity of downstaging and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and with Lugol’s iodine (VILI). Methods: Screening with downstaging, VIA and VILI were done on 680 women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria at a primary health center attached to the university hospital, over a period of one year. Those who had abnormal results in down...

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical value of the video colposcopy in screening cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in cytological negative and smooth cervices by optically gynecological examination. Methods: The 1050 women, whose cervices had been shown smooth and cytological negative by optical examine, were examined with electronic colposcopy in gynecological cli...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of spectral CT imaging in the diagnosis and classification of liver cirrhosis during the arterial phase (AP) and portal venous phase (PVP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients with liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A/B/C: n = 10/14/14), and 43 patients with healthy livers, participated in this study. The researchers used abdominal spectral CT imaging...

Background: The iodine deficiency elimination program that began two decades ago resulted in Iran becoming an iodine deficiency disorders free country in the Middle East region. The present study was performed to evaluate the adequacy of iodine supplementation after 17 years of universal salt iodization in Fars province. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 1200 schoolchildren (480 girls and 72...

BACKGROUND:Due to the large proportion of iodine present in milk and dairy products, they have been one of the important sources of nutritional iodine in several countries. Information about variation in milk iodine concentration in Iran is limited. OBJECTIVES:The present study was conducted to determine the iodine concentration in Iranian milk and dairy ...
