POSTOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CELLULAR IMMUNE STATUS AND CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN DIFFERENTIATED THYROID CANCER PRIOR TO 131I THERAPY [PDF]
Objective To investigate the postoperative relationship between cellular immune status and clinicopathological features in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) before 131I therapy. Methods We retrospectively included 155 patients with DTC

Korean-specific iodine S values for use in internal dosimetry
The use of iodine S values derived using the International Commission Radiological Protection (ICRP) phantoms may introduce significant bias in internal dosimetry for Koreans due to anatomical variability.

Evaluation of Response to Therapy in Thyroid Carcinoma Patients after Radioactive Iodine Therapy
Radioactive iodine therapy is an important treatment modality for differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients. Radioactive iodine, similar to elementary iodine, is concentrated in the thyroid follicular cells after oral application, and it can damage the ...

Factors influencing successful radioiodine therapy of thyroid [PDF]
Background: Well-known fact is that the good surgical treatment, leaving only small residuals of thyroid tissue, is the outmost valid predictive factor of successful ablative radioiodine treatment. Assuming that all patients had state of the art surgical

A differentiated approach to complex treatment of radioiodine-induced salivary gland lesions
The number of patients treated with radioactive iodine for highly differentiated thyroid carcinomas who develop chronic radiation-induced salivary gland lesions is constantly rising, that necessitates the search for new pathogenetically focused ...

Prevalence of short-lived radioactive isotopes across exoplanetary systems inferred from polluted white dwarfs [PDF]
In the Solar System short-lived radioisotopes, such as 26Al, played a crucial role during the formation planetary bodies by providing a significant additional source of heat. Notably, this led to early and large-scale melting and iron core formation in planetesimals and their loss of volatile elements, such as hydrogen and carbon.
