Radiothallium (201Tl) has been proposed as a tracer in nuclear medicine for the diagnosis of cold thyroid nodules. Its potassium-mimetic characteristics, like those of 131Cs, can provide information on its turnover in the thyroid nodules; this serves as a basis for the distinction between benign and
A potential radiation protection method to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes in the case of accidental radioactive iodine release is the administration of potassium iodide (KI). Although KI administration is recommended by WHO's Guidelines for Iodine Prophylaxis following Nuclear Accidents,
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is mainly associated with Graves' disease but rarely with autonomously functioning thyroid nodule (AFTN). We herein report a case of AFTN associated with TPP in which the latter resolved after (131) I therapy for the former. We analyzed the genes encoding
BACKGROUND
One of the most efficient radiation protection methods to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes in case of accidental radioactive iodine release is the administration of potassium iodine (KI). Although KI administration is recommended by WHO's guidelines for iodine prophylaxis
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effectiveness of levothyroxine and potassium iodide in treating patients with benign solitary cold thyroid nodules.
METHODS
Randomized controlled study.
METHODS
Outpatient clinic at a university hospital.
METHODS
80 patients with solitary solid cold thyroid nodules found
In sixteen cases of toxic adenoma of the thyroid (autonomous hot nodule with complete suppression of the surrounding normal parenchyma) potassium iodide was given in doses of 100 microgram/day for one week, 200 microgram/day for another and 400 microgram/day for a third week. There was a progressive
UNASSIGNED
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and thyroid diseases among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
UNASSIGNED
This was a cohort case and control study, 546 T2DM patients and 546 control study participants were enrolled, aged between
BACKGROUND
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) may be caused by excessive thyroidal hormone synthesis and release (type 1) or by a destructive process (type 2). This differentiation is considered essential for therapeutic choice.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the utility of color-flow Doppler sonography
Graves' disease is the most frequent cause of hyperthyroidism in iodine-sufficient geographical areas and is characterized by the presence in patients' serum of autoantibodies directed against the thyrotropin receptor (TRAb) that cause overproduction and release of thyroid hormones. Clinical
BACKGROUND
It is well known that the thyroid gland is sensitive to the damaging effects of irradiation (X-radiation or (131)I¯). For this reason, during exposure to (131)I- metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in children with neuroblastoma (NBL), the thyroid gland is protected against radiation damage by
BACKGROUND
Thyroid dysfunction has been reported in up to 52% of patients 1.4 years after treatment with (131) I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in children with neuroblastoma (NBL), despite the use of potassium-iodide (KI). Our aim was to investigate if the incidence and severity of thyroid damage
BACKGROUND
The rapid re-accumulation of fluid following aspiration of thyroid cystic lesions suggests that active transport of sodium and water may be involved in volume regulation of these lesions. In this study we address the possibility that aldosterone may take part in this
A survey of 5462 schoolchildren was conducted for signs of thyroid disease in the seaside region of Sibenik, Croatia. In this region, salt is regularly iodised with 0.01% potassium iodide. Thyromegaly was found in 152 children (2.8%). The most common disorder was simple goitre, which was established
Because of its physical and potassium-metabolic characteristics 201T1 is more suitable than 131Cs for radioisotopic studies of the cold thyroid nodule, with the further diagnostic possibility of quantitatively assessing intranodular behavior for a specific differentiation among different kinds of
We set up a modified technetium-99m (Tc-99m) pertechnetate/Tc-99m MIBI (Tc-MIBI) subtraction scintigraphy for parathyroid imaging by introducing the use of potassium perchlorate (KCLO4). Initially, the effect of KCLO4 on technetium thyroid wash-out was evaluated in five healthy volunteers: 40-minute
