OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of radioisotope synovectomy with Yttrium-90 and Rhenium-186 on joints patients chronic hemophilic synovitis.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis using in pediatric hemophilia treated Akdeniz University School Medicine between June 2005 September 2014 was carried out.RESULTS: Eighteen severe (mean age 12.55±4.93 years) underwent a total ...

Radioisotopes are useful tracers because their chemical properties are the same as those of stable isotopes and they show higher detection sensitivity than other tracers. Their usefulness has been demonstrated in fluorescence experiments in diverse areas including life science, medicine, and engineering. SiO2-coated radioisotope Au coreshell nanoparticles (Au@SiO2 NPs) were first synthesized by...

In recent years, shortages of radioisotopes that cannot be stockpiled have created a scenario in which they may be considered, periodically, a scarce medical resource. This discussion focuses on the just allocation of medical radioisotopes and presents the dominant ethical frameworks for rationing and priority setting in the patient populations most affected. Priority setting is necessary when ...
