BACKGROUND Secondary tumours of the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage are extremely rare. In this paper, we present a case of the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage metastases in a patient treated for sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. CASE REPORT Four years after sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma was diagnosed and treated with surgery and chemotherapy, the patient developed bone metastases in the left sa...

Abstract Background Metastases to the bones are a frequent location of metastasis in advanced breast cancer and responsible for substantial morbidity healthcare expenses. Imaging has been crucial directing patient therapy decades, contributing staging response evaluation skeleton. This research aimed assess diagnostic value whole-body magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted added rad...

Since the first tracer study by George C. de Hevesy in 1923, in which he used the tracer principle to study the absorption and translocation of lead nitrate with Pb-212 (1), radionuclides have been used both in vitro and in vivo to trace various biologic processes. The radioisotopes of iodine in particular have played an important role in the early development of nuclear medicine since their us...

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...

We describe herein an unusual case of subacute thyroiditis presenting as acute psychosis. An 18-year-old male presented at the emergency department due to abnormal behavior, psychomotor agitation, sexual hyperactivity, and a paranoid mental state. Laboratory findings included an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 36 mm/hr (normal range, 0 to 9), free T4 of 100.0 pmol/L (normal range, 11.5 to 22....

The technetium-99m complex of the L,L-ethylenedicysteine diethylester (EC), of the brain imaging agent, was reported as a good choice for replacement of the renal nuclear medicines like OIH radiopharmaceutical. This present research work studies the structural, electronic and spectral properties of the EC compound and its complex with technetium-99m radionuclide from theoretical insight. All co...

UNLABELLED The performance of 99mTc Stealth liposomes was investigated in various rat models. METHODS Preformed polyethyleneglycol-containing liposomes with encapsulated reduced glutathione, were radiolabeled using the lipophilic 99mTc-HMPAO. The labeled liposomes were intravenously administered to rats with focal S. aureus or E. coli infection, or turpentine-induced inflammation. For compari...

Penangkapan non-osseous pada pemeriksaan sidik tulang dengan menggunakan radiofarmaka Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) dapat disebabkan karena proses neoplasma, trauma, inflamasi, iskemik, dan artefak. Perubahan metabolisme lesi diketahui pencitraan Tc-99m MDP. Lesi jaringan lunak terlihat adanya peningkatan aktivitas area fokal. Tujuan penulisan telaah pustaka ini adalah unt...

Introduction: Venoms are a mixture of proteins and peptides which can be used for fighting cancers. They can affect the exposed fibers and the muscles directly or through motor nerves, causing neuromuscular intoxication. ICD-85 is a combination of three poly-peptides derived from the venoms of an Iranian brown snake and a yellow scorpion. Materials and Methods...
