Radioimmunotherapy: A novel treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma [PDF]
90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and 131I-tositumomab (Bexxar) are current choices for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) of patients with follicular rituximab-relapsed or refractory CD20+ follicular B-cell NHL.

Combined Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Iodine Capture of Zr-based Metal-Organic Frameworks: Effect of N-functionalization and Adsorption Mechanism [PDF]
The potential leakage of nuclear waste, especially radioiodine, is a major safety concerning issue around the world. To remove radioiodine from nuclear waste efficiently, there is an urgent demand for adsorbents that possess both high stability and strong adsorption affinity for environmental remediation.

Iodine Behaviour During a Severe Accident in a Nuclear Power Plant
Iodine is a main fission product of the fuel generated during power operation in nuclear power plants (NPPs). A severe NPP accident can cause fuel, containing fission products (FPs), control rod assemblies and core structures to melt and then ...

The effect of exposure on cattle thyroid after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident
Nuclear plant accidents can be a risk for thyroid cancer due to iodine radioisotopes. Near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, cattle were exposed to radiation after the accident occurred in May 2011. Here we estimated the total radiation exposure

TSHOMA: A RARE PITUITARY TUMOR
INTRODUCTION: TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHoma) or thyrotropinoma are rare pituitary tumors that secrete an abnormal Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which constitutes up to 1%–2% of all pituitary adenomas. Patients often remain misdiagnosed for

A new method in the production of Ac-227, Ra-228, Th-228 and U-232 on Thorium target from different perspective for use in Radioisotope Power Systems and Nuclear Batteries [PDF]
We recommended a new method from different perspective for the production of Ac-227, Ra-228, Th-228 and U-232 radioisotopes which have an important potential for use in radioisotope power systems (instead of Pu-238) and nuclear batteries, based on long half-life, high power density and low radiation level.

Effects of Iodine Annealing on Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 [PDF]
Effects of iodine annealing to induce bulk superconductivity in Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 have been systematically studied by changing the molar ratio of iodine to the sample and annealing temperature. The optimal condition to induce bulk superconductivity with Tc ~14.5 K and self-field Jc(2 K) ~ 5x10^5 A/cm2 is found to be a molar ratio of iodine of 5-7 % at ...

Simulating the Production of Medical Radioisotopes in a Fast Thorium-Cycle ADS with SERPENT
Radiopharmaceuticals are used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic or therapeutic acts. The short decay half-lives of medical radioisotopes, especially those used for diagnostics, imply that they should be produced continuously and transported as quickly ...
