(25%), and inadequate by three (18%). Two stated that free discussion about management of patients was not encouraged, and one individual replied that this was tolerated but not encouraged. Twelve registrars (75%) were actively encouraged to perform research, but fewer than half of these were supervised. One registrar considered the research opportunities of his post to be good.

It was first shown by Heim et al. (2, 3) that 1 hour after S-amino-l ,2,4-triazolel has been injected into rats, there is a marked inhibition of liver and kidney catalase, a lesser inhibition of liver peroxidase, and no inhibition of erythrocyte catalase activity. In view of this rather selective action towards tissue hydroperosidases, it seemed possible that aminotriazole should exhibit antith...

in this report, the clinical course and treatment response of 210 patients with grawes’ disease referred to the research institute for nuclear medicine were studied. the disease was more common in 3rd and 4th decades and more frequent in women (f/m=4). treatment response with antithyroid drugs was about 50%, whereas 80% of the patients treated by i-131 showed positive response. there was no mea...

Hyperthyroidism is a common disease and one of the best methods for its treatment is radioiodine therapy. Treatment with antithyroid drugs brings patients to euthyroidism before radioiodine therapy. Antithyroid drugs should be discontinued before radioiodine therapy to increase thyroid uptake. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal time of methimazole (MTZ) discontinuation...
