Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare tumor; it is usually asymptomatic and is found incidentally. We present the case of a 24-year-old female patient, who had undergone total thyroidectomy for thyroid papillary carcinoma, with an asymptomatic giant cystadenofibroma, incidentally discovered by diagnostic (131)I-SPECT/CT WBSs. We summarize the clinical history, imaging data, and histopat...

Monoclonal antibodies Ost6 and Ost7 (mouse Immunoglobulin G1) to human osteogenic sarcoma were isolated from ascitic fluid and labeled with radioiodine. After injection into athymic nu/nu mice with s.c. xenografts of human osteogenic sarcoma, the uptake of radioactivity in tumors, visceral organs, and blood was determined. Five days after injection, Ost6 and Ost7 showed preferential accumulatio...

UNLABELLED PET/CT fusion of anatomic and functional imaging modalities is in evolution, with rapid clinical dissemination. The imaged field of view (FOV) selected for whole-body PET/CT protocols is not standardized and varies by institution. Misuse of the term whole body, as well as the pressure to increase the number of daily studies by reducing scanning time, contributes to the lack of standa...

background: radiotherapy has many side effects on fertilization in young women. radiation can lead to ovarian failure in women who underwent abdomen or pelvic radiotherapy. objective: this study helps us to investigate ovarian response of nmri female mice to ovarian stimulating hormones (pmsg, hcg) after whole-body gamma irradiation. materials and methods: 45 pregnant mice were divided into two...

we conducted this study to determine the level of immunity after vaccination of lambs with whole bodyechinococcus granulosus. to do so, 200 mature e. granulosus parasites, which were kept in 10% formalinefor 8 months, were obtained from the department of parasitology, school of veterinary medicine, ferdowsiuniversity of mashhad. the soluble protein of the parasite was prepared. the sample was h...

background: drivers of heavy motor vehicles are occupationally exposed to intense whole body vibration (wbv) for several hours per day over their working lifetime. therefore, they are at risk of wbv-induced occupational disorders. this study aimed to investigate health effects of long-term exposure to whole body vibration among a group of heavy vehicle drivers in fars province, southwestern ira...

OBJECTIVE Negative diagnostic 131I whole body scans with elevated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels are found in 20% of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Empirical radioiodine treatment has been advocated by some researchers, but has had with controversial outcomes. This anterospective study was performed to examine this dilemma and also to determine the capability of thallium (2...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (ffmi) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) value in collegiate athletes. methods thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre-season. subjects visited the l...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the variability of stimulated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in post-thyroidectomy patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) and determine the frequency of undetectable Tg in patients with evidence of functional thyroid tissue after a 131-I whole-body scan (WBS). METHODS A retrospective record review of patients with WDTC referred to our clinic from 1990 to 2...
