Background: The functional changes that occur over time in the liver following 90Y-radioembolization (RE) using personalized dosimetry (PD) remain to be investigated. Methods: November 2016–October 2019: we retrospectively included hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated by 90Y-glass RE PD, who underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) at baseline and 15 days, 1, 2, 3, 6 months after R...

During 1997-2007 we studied distribution and dynamics of main radionuclides and their biological significance in lake ecosystems within the 10-km inner exclusion zone around the destroyed unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The main objects of our studies were bottom sediments, water, seston, and different species of hydrobionts from Azbuchin Lake, Dalekoye-1 Lake and Glubokoye Lake. Sel...

Stevenson, Bedford, Dolphin, Purrott, Lloyd, Hill, Hill, Gumpel, Williams, Scott, Ramsey, Bruckner, and Fearn (1973) reported that high chromosome aberration yields in lymphocytes were found in those patients treated with injections of 198Au or 90Y for rheumatoid conditions ofthe knee when radioactivity had leaked along the lymphatics to the inguinal lymph nodes. This leakage and the consequent...

Favourable results have been obtained in the treatment of persistent joint effusion with radioactive agents (e.g. Ansell, Crook, Mallard, and Bywaters, 1963; Virkkunen, Krusius, and Heiskanen, 1967; Delbarre, Cayla, Roucayrol, Menkes, Aignan, and Ingrand, 1970; Oka, Rekonen, Ruotsi, and Seppalii, 1971). The future of this kind of radiotherapy is largely dependent on whether the ionizing radiati...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a disease usually diagnosed in its advanced-stage, and is frequently not amenable to curative surgical treatment. Also, HCC is resistant to chemotherapy and less vulnerable to radiation therapy compared to normal hepatic parenchyma. Both of these facts render the efficacy of adjuvant and palliative treatments problematic. Selective internal radiation therapy (S...
