Thyroid cancer is increasing all over the world. The exact cause of this increase is still debated and there are conflicting reports. Sophisticated molecular studies suggest that environmental chemicals may have effects of thyroid carcinogenesis. The development of powerful molecular biology techniques has enabled targeted next-generation sequencing for detection of mutations in thyroid cancer,...

Iodine-131 (131I) plays an important role in the management of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers. Post-thyroidectomy ablation therapy with 131I is performed to destroy the small amount of thyroid tissue remaining in the neck after surgery [8,14]. The use of radioiodine for ablation has been shown to decrease the risk of recurrence, increase the sensitivity of post-ablation whole...

Wound washing with antiseptic liquid is one step in the management of chronic wounds. In infected wounds, expected to reduce bacterial colonies and help eradicate infection. One important pathogenic bacteria Acinetobacter Baumannii. These opportunistic germs can form colonies, especially patients receiving broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, treatment ICU, on skin affected by burns. Antiseptic c...

Objective: The current work was conducted to study the disease status and treatment results of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma referred for surgery and for radioactive iodine therapy. Methods: Retrospective review of 174 patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma referred for surgery and for radioactive iodine therapy in King abulaziz Hospital and Oncology Center, Jeddah, Sau...

BACKGROUND Absorption of large quantities of iodine, as induced by the use of topical antimicrobial povidone-iodine in burn-injured patients, may cause metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities as well as renal failure. To diminish iodine levels, haemodialysis was previously reported to be a suitable therapy. We therefore studied the kinetics of iodine in order to define the most optimal dialysis...

The abscopal effect is an extremely rare phenomenon occurring when irradiation or treatment of a primary tumor burden not only results in debulking of the targeted site but also reduces tumor size at distant sites from the intended treatment area. We present the abscopal effect occurring in a patient with low-grade marginal zone lymphoma who subsequently received radioactive iodine therapy for ...

Topical therapy with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and monoxychloroserene, and corneal scrub with iodine, ether, and silver nitrate did not demonstrably reduce the incidence of a positive virus culture from rabbit corneas infected with herpes simplex. It is suggested that the virucidal properties of such substances as measured by their effect on cell-free virus suspensions is not pertinent to the abol...

BACKGROUND Radioactive iodine (I-131) is routinely used for the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer following surgery. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a leading cause of acute liver failure. Here we reported a rare case of diffuse hepatic uptake (DHU) of radioactive iodine (I-131) induced hepatotoxicity in patient with I-131 ablation therapy after thyroidectomy. CASE PRESENTATION A...

There are limited treatment options for patients with radioactive iodine refractory, progressive differentiated thyroid cancer. Although there is consensus that multikinase inhibitor therapy should be considered in patients with progressive disease with considerable tumor load or symptomatic disease, uncertainty exists on the optimal timing to treat with a multikinase inhibitor, especially for ...

introduction: binding a monoclonal antibody to tumor associated antigens is an effective method for cancer therapy because these agents can specifically target malignant cells, in fact monoclonal antibodies are effective agents for diagnosis, grading and treatment of different kinds of cancers. methods: in this research, a new monoclonal antibody against colon cancer cells was prepared and anti...
