OBJECTIVE We wanted to assess the long-term results of cyst ablation with using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and iodized oil in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and symptomatic cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cyst ablation using a mixture of NBCA and iodized oil was performed in 99 cysts from 21 patients who had such symptoms as abdominal distension and pain. Th...

Miriplatin, a cisplatin derivative with a high affinity for iodized ethyl esters of fatty acids from poppy seed oil, is a novel chemotherapeutic agent designed for use in the transarterial treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we describe transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI) using miriplatin to treat a case of advanced HCC with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) refractory to TAI w...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and iodized oil mixture in treatment of simple renal cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients with 27 symptomatic or large ( > 3 cm) simple cysts were treated by computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous aspiration and injection of NBCA and iodized oil mixture. The patients (17 men and 6...

An 85-year-old woman developed locally recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after previous radiofrequency ablation combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Dynamic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hypovascular tumor, which was suspected as poorly differentiated HCC. TACE was performed using a microballoon catheter. First, a suspension of miripl...

This chapter provides an overview of the disorders caused by iodine deficiency. Extensively referenced, it includes data on dietary sources of iodine, goitrogens, the effects of iodine deficiency throughout the lifecycle, the pathophysiology of iodine deficiency, as well as strategies for control and monitoring of the iodine deficiency disorders, such as iodized salt and iodized oil. It emphasi...

cavities is rarely reported, and”.. . such a communication was demonstrable [only] at necropsy.”1( ’200) A few years ago, we2 reported three cases of pancreaticopleural fistula demonstrated by the early injection of iodized oil (Lipiodol) into the pleural cavity. In an additional case, we have demonstrated a large communication between the pleural cavity and a pancreatic pseudocyst (Fig 1). We ...

Previous studies have shown that injection of iodized oil in pregnant women can be used as a prophylactic strategy for iodine deficiency disorders and may improve the growth indices of their offspring. Since administration of pharmacological doses of iodine may lead occasionally to large goiter and rarely to hypothyroidism, in the present study the thyroid function tests of neonates and inf...

BACKGROUND Chronic iodine deficiency (ID) increases thyrotropin (TSH) concentrations and produces a thyroid hormone pattern consistent with subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH). ScH may be associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors. Thus, the study aim was to determine if iodine treatment of children with elevated TSH concentrations due to ID would affect their lipid profile, insulin (C-pe...
