introduction: patients administered with a therapeutic dose of 131i for thyroid cancer treatment are potential sources of unacceptably high radiation exposure to other individuals, particularly the patient's immediate family members. the aim of this study is to investigate effects of early liothyronine consumption after radio-iodine therapy on accumulated dose and exposure rate in patients with...

background: ionizing radiation irradiated from iodine-131 can induce dna damage and cell death. the cellular dna damage is the cause of mutation and cancer. the micronucleus assay in polychromatic erythrocytes was applied to assess the radio-protective effect of turmeric extract on genotoxic potential of iodine therapy. materials and methods: thirty six male albino rats were randomly divided in...

Background: Ionizing radiation irradiated from iodine-131 can induce DNA damage and cell death. The cellular DNA damage is the cause of mutation and cancer. The micronucleus assay in polychromatic erythrocytes was applied to assess the radio-protective effect of Turmeric extract on genotoxic potential of iodine therapy. Materials and Methods: Thirty six male albino rats were randomly divided in...

Introduction: Various iodine isotopes are undergoing radioactive decay except Iodine-127 (I-127. Iodine I-131 is unsealed radioactive material used in nuclear medicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Royal Hospital since 2006. In radiotoxic classification, I-131 is in group 2 element. I-131 is highly reactive element due to its volatilization nature. Currently...

introduction: there is a limited number of case reports published in the past decade confirming the radio-iodine presence in the tear. these observations as well as reported cases of salivary and lacrimal gland dysfunction after radioiodine therapy stimulated investigators to clarify whether lacrimal gland function can be affected post-radioiodine therapy. hence we planned a historical cohort s...

Three patients' medical history, clinical manifestation, imaging characteristic, therapy and prognosis of calvaria metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed by reviewing medical literature. In case one, the tumor in frontal bone and fossa orbital was total resected, no further treatment was performed, the patient gave up on therapy and died...

introduction: during the angiography of coronary vessels a great amount of  iodine mixed with radio-contrasts enter the body, and if autonomic centers exist in thyroid it causes hyperthyroidism. this can be dangerous in patients with cronary artery disease (cad). this study aimed to determine the effect of a radio-contrast used in coronary angiohraphy on thyroid’s function in patients referring...

the primary treatment of thyroid carcinoma is surgery and the outcome depends on its extent. the post-operative management alternatives in thyroid carcinoma include thyroid hormone, radio-iodine ablation (i-131 na), external beam radiation therapy (ebrt) and occasionally adjuvant chemotherapy. this retrospective study analyzes the managements of 153 patients (102, 51), age range 10-96 years, me...
