A simple way to detect and remove trace amounts of WO4(2-) ions from an aqueous solution was demonstrated by their light-harvesting ability and selective excitation energy transfer to a Tb-doped layered yttrium hydroxynitrate matrix.

peritoneally or intrapleurally into mice or patients bearing cancerous effusions remains largely local ized in the cavity and therefore can be used suc cessfully for intracavitary tumor therapy. Later (3, 9, 10), similar intracavitary retention of radio active material, suggesting analogous therapeutic application, was obtained with particle suspen sions of radioactive chromic phosphate (CrP320...

We investigate the structure, stability, and electronic properties of yttrium silicide nanowires with AlB2-type structure, using ab initio calculations. The results confirm experimental findings that yttrium silicide nanowires are robust and conductive. In particular, the dependencies on nanowire thickness are analyzed. Furthermore, calculations show that the vacancy formation in stoichiometric...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and X-Ray in the evaluation of response to radiosynovectomy (RS) in patients with hemophilic arthropathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eleven patients who suffered from hemophilic arthropathy with a mean age of 11.7 (range between 7-15) were included in this study. 148-185 MBq Yttrium 90 silicate (Y-90) was administered intraar...

UNLABELLED Currently, there is no consensus on the use of (90)Y radioembolization for salvage patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the available data on tumor response and survival after (90)Y radioembolization for this group of patients. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed (Medline), ...

Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (90Y-IT) combines the benefits of a monoclonal antibody with the efficacy of radiation in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a remarkably radiosensitive hematologic malignancy. 90Y-IT activity has been well established in the indolent setting, being approved in front-line treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL) patients as well as salvage therapy. However, ...

(90)Y microspheres are important therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals used in the treatment of liver cancer through a process known as selective internal radiation therapy. SIR-spheres is a radiopharmaceutical product that is comprised of (90)Y microspheres suspended in sterile, pyrogen-free water for injection into patients. It is necessary to establish for the SIR-spheres production the capabilit...

(90)Y PET/CT following radioembolization has recently been established as a viable diagnostic tool, capable of producing images that are both quantitative and have superior image quality than alternative (90)Y imaging modalities. Because radioembolization is assumed to be a permanent implant, it is possible to convert quantitative (90)Y PET image sets into data representative of spatial committ...
