UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcome after (223)Ra dichloride therapy ((223)Ra) and to determine whether skeletal tumor burden on whole-body (18)F-fluoride PET/CT can be used as a predictive biomarker of survival in patients treated with (223)Ra. METHODS Forty-two patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer underwent (223)Ra and a baseline fluoride PET/CT scan. Fl...

background and aims. as a result of poor quality of public water supply in many countries, people have recently turned to bottled water consumption, the fluoride content of which is not generally consistent among different brands. this study sought to measure the fluoride concentration of public water supply in comparison with commercial brands of mineral bottled water available in tehran, iran...

to investigate and compare the amount of fluoride release of conventional, resin modified and nanofilled resin modified glass ionomer cements.tablets of glass-ionomer cements were immersed in deionized water and incubated at 37°c. after 1, 2, 7, 15 and 30 days, fluoride ion was measured under normal atmospheric conditions by fluoride ion selective electrode. buffer (tisab ii) was used to decomp...

OBJECTIVE To determine if vitamin D is more effective than no therapy or calcium alone in the management of corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, and to determine how vitamin D compares with other osteoporosis therapies, e.g., bisphosphonates, calcitonin, or fluoride, for this condition. METHODS We evaluated all formulations of vitamin D, including its active metabolites and analogs. A systema...
