The paper presents the latest information on iodine content in raw milk, in the Czech Republic. In 2005, iodine was determined using the Sandell-Kolthoff method in 169 milk samples, taken from transportation tanks (capacity 11 000–13 000 litres) of collecting milk for dairy processing, from 14 areas of South-western Bohemia. The average iodine content in milk samples was 442.5 ± 185.6 μg/l, min...

BACKGROUND Thyroid function in patients with Grave's disease is usually evaluated by thyroid scintigraphy with radioactive iodine. Recently, dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) with two different energy X-rays can calculate iodine concentrations and can be applied for iodine measurements in thyroid glands. This study aimed to assess the potential use of DECT for the functional assessment of ...

background: iodine deficiency disorders (idd) have been recognized as a major public health problem worldwide. consequences of idd include goiter, hypothyroidism, and intellectual disability followed by retarded growth and development of the brain. this report aimed to determine the state of idd in fars province, south of iran. methods: in this study, we gathered data from all scientific papers...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of spectral computed tomography (CT) dual-substance separation technology for diagnosing left ventricular (LV) thrombus. METHODS In this observational case-control study, spectral CT scans were conducted in patients with and without LV thrombi. Densities in the regions of the LV cavity, papillary muscles and LV thrombus were observed on 140 kVp mixed-energy ...

In connection with the determination of serum protein-bound iodine (PBI), it is occasionally advantageous to have available reagents with a very low iodine blank. Of the reagents required in a PBI procedure employing dialysis, wet combustion with 112S04 and Cr (VI), volatilization of iodine after liberation with 113P03, and estimation of iodine by means of the Ce (IV)-As (III) reaction, the Cr ...

Iodine is an element of fascinating chemical complexity, and numerous hypervalent iodine compounds reveal vital value of applications in organic synthesis. Investigation of the synthesis and application of new type of hypervalent iodine compound has extremely significant meaning. Here, the formation of CsIn (n > 1) compounds is predicted up to 200 GPa using an effective algorithm. The current r...
