In and out: crystal engineering for reversible iodine uptake
2020
In this issue of Acta Crystallographica Section B, Moghzi et al. (2020) report the chemical design of a metal-organic compound with an outstanding iodine (I2) sorption capability. Sequestration of I2, an extremely volatile gas, has important applications in terms of controlling radioactive gases, as various radionuclides of I2 are released during the fission of nuclear fuels. Thus, the preparation of porous materials that can efficiently capture and store I2 is of importance not only from an academic point of view, but also for real-life applications.
Treatment of hyperthyroidism with radioiodine targeted activity: A comparison between two dosimetric methods.
2016
Radioiodine therapy is an effective and safe treatment of hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease, toxic adenoma, toxic multinodular goiter. We compared the outcomes of a traditional calculation method based on an analytical fit of the uptake curve and subsequent dose calculation with the MIRD approach, and an alternative computation approach based on a formulation implemented in a public-access website, searching for the best timing of radioiodine uptake measurements in pre-therapeutic dosimetry. We report about sixty-nine hyperthyroid patients that were treated after performing a pre-therapeutic dosimetry calculated by fitting a six-point uptake curve (3-168h). In order to evaluate the res…
