background: radiotherapy has many side effects on fertilization in young women. radiation can lead to ovarian failure in women who underwent abdomen or pelvic radiotherapy. objective: this study helps us to investigate ovarian response of nmri female mice to ovarian stimulating hormones (pmsg, hcg) after whole-body gamma irradiation. materials and methods: 45 pregnant mice were divided into two...

we conducted this study to determine the level of immunity after vaccination of lambs with whole bodyechinococcus granulosus. to do so, 200 mature e. granulosus parasites, which were kept in 10% formalinefor 8 months, were obtained from the department of parasitology, school of veterinary medicine, ferdowsiuniversity of mashhad. the soluble protein of the parasite was prepared. the sample was h...

background: drivers of heavy motor vehicles are occupationally exposed to intense whole body vibration (wbv) for several hours per day over their working lifetime. therefore, they are at risk of wbv-induced occupational disorders. this study aimed to investigate health effects of long-term exposure to whole body vibration among a group of heavy vehicle drivers in fars province, southwestern ira...

Whole-body I-131 scintigraphy (I-131 WBS) has been a helpful diagnostic procedure for evaluating the existence of residual thyroid bed remnants as well as possible metastasis in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer after surgery [1, 2]. In the interpretation of I-131 WBS, breast uptake may be misread as thyroid cancer lung metastasis if it occurs with an atypical pattern or is clinically...

A male patient had undergone total thyroidectomy for thyroid papillary carcinoma. He was administered thyroablation activity of radioiodine. Whole body imaging after diagnostic activity of 131-I demonstrated intense radioiodine uptake in the right side of the upper abdominal region. The serum thyroglobulin level was low. Ultrasonography demonstrated a large irregular anechoic structure in the c...

Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder of unknown ethiology. The clinical manifestations of CRMO are highly variable. One to 20 sites can be affected at one time. Since CNO is a systemic disorder that can affect multiple skeletal sites, whole-body imaging techniques (Tc-99 bone scintigraphy or MRI) provide major contribution to the in...

ubiquicidin (ubi) [29-41] is a synthetic cationic antimicrobial peptide that preferentially binds to bacterial cell membrane at the site of infection. we aimed to assess diagnostic value of 99mtc-ubi [29-41] as a radiopharmaceutical in differentiation of bacterial infection from sterile inflammation in suspected orthopedic implants. nine patients suspected for orthopedic implant infection, all ...

An 80-year old woman complained of a 1-month history of dry cough. Bronchoscopy and tracheobronchial biopsy revealed tracheobronchial amyloidosis. Compted tomography scan showed narrowing of the trachea with intraluminal nodularity. Whole body and single photon emission computed tomography Tc pyrophosphate scan revealed diffuse uptake in the tracheobronchial tree, liver, and myocardium — with a...

Nuclear medicine labeled leukocyte whole-body scintigraphy is commonly used to identify a source of infection in a patient with fever of unknown origin. White blood cells can also localize to other sites of inflammation, including sometimes tumors. A patient with a large myxofibrosarcoma in his left forearm was scanned due to chronic low-grade fever and persistent leukocytosis. This case demons...
