Introduction: Nowadays, radioisotopes have a lot of therapeutic and diagnostic applications in nuclear medicine. The technetium-99m radioisotope is widely used in the diagnostic field. The technetium-99m radioisotope is widely used in the diagnostic field. In this study, in order to increase the absorption dose in thyroid cancer cells, the radioactive drug technetium-99m which ...

Iodine intake is important for thyroid function. Iodine content of natural waters is high in some areas and occurs bound in humic substances. Tap water is a major dietary source but bioavailability of organically bound iodine may be impaired. The objective was to assess if naturally occurring iodine bound in humic substances is bioavailable. Tap water was collected at Randers and Skagen waterwo...

SUMMARY In order to evaluate psychomotor activity and intelligent quotient in schoolchildren of iodine deficient region, 95 children from Kiga and 103 from Keshar villages and 73 from Razi school in Tehran were studied. In Kiga there is moderately severe iodine deficiency with retarded physical growth and decreased thyroid function. These students had more errors in Bender-Gestalt (BG) test an...

introduction: differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) is associated with excellent prognosis and high survival rates. this study was conducted to evaluate the influence of baseline and treatment-related factors on the health related quality of life (qol) in cured dtc. methods:this study was an analytic cross-sectional study on radio-iodine (rai) treated dtc patients during 2011-2012. the data on...

Background: Iodine deficiency is a widespread global health problem that affects about 2 billion people each year. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to iodine deficiency due to increased iodine requirement leading to death, miscarriage, and stillbirth. Iodine deficiency also has significant negative effects on newborns including impaired cognitive development, impaired learning capabil...

The iodine value (iodine number) and hydroxyl are important analytical characteristics of fats oils. (I2) required saturating the fatty acids present in 100 grams oil or fat. Iodine is a measure total number double bonds (-C=C-) Unsaturated compounds contain molecules with triple which very reactive towards iodine. has been determined according to Hanus monobromide glacial acetic acid, then amo...

Although the number of iodine-deficient countries has been reduced by almost 50 % over the last decade, it still remains a frequently misunderstood health problem. The most devastating effects of iodine deficiency occur during fetal development and childhood, periods in which sufficient iodine delivery remains critical. Besides the determination of thyroid size, the concentration of urinary iod...

The recent development of adequate techniques for the microdetermination of iodine in biological material has given impetus to the study of iodine metabolism in health and disease. Within the past ten years many studies of the range of blood iodine in normal and pathological conditions have appeared in the literature (1, 2). Unfortunately, the "normal" whole blood iodine values given by various...

A survey of the databanks Medline and Web of science identified studies dealing with maternal and infant iodine nutrition during breast feeding. The iodine concentration of human milk varies widely due to maternal iodine intake. Mean breast milk iodine concentrations are reported as ranging from 5.4 to 2170 microg/L (median 62 microg/L) in worldwide studies. In the few studies that compared len...
