Efficacy of radioiodine therapy in the treatment of elevated serum thyroglobulin in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and negative whole-body iodine scan

Mirpour Sahar , Gholamrezanezhad Ali , Saghari Mohsen , Beiki Davood

Introduction: In the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, serum thyroglobulin levels are often well correlated with whole-body radioiodine scanning (WBS) results. However, occasionally, a mismatched result – increased thyroglobulin with negative WBS – is observed. Radioiodine therapy has been suggested as a therapeutic choice with controversial results.Method: We studied 32 differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with...

On-levothyroxine measurement of thyroglobulin is not a reliable screening test for patients at high risk of remnant/recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma

Gholamrezanezhad Ali , Saghari Mohsen , Mirpour Sahar , Beiki Davoud

At the present time, the most widely accepted tool for follow-up management of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients consists of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement. It is not uncommon to measure the serum Tg level while the patient taking thyroid hormones (on-treatment Tg measurement). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of on-treatment measurement of serum Tg in detecting remnant/recurrent or metastatic disease in high risk DTC patients. Patients an...

Efficacy of high dose radioiodine in the treatment of elevated serum thyroglobulin in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and negative whole body iodine scan

Gholamrezanezhad Ali , Saghari Mohsen , Mirpour Sahar , Beiki Davoud , Fallahi Babak

Introduction: In the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels are often well correlated with whole-body radio-iodine scanning (WBS) results. However, occasionally a mismatched result, increased Tg with negative WBS, is encountered. High doses of radio-iodine (RAI) have been suggested as a therapeutic choice with controversial results. Our aim was to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of this approach.<p class="abstex...

The high prevalence of abnormal cardiac function in diabetic patients of a developing community

Introduction: Cardiac complications are one of the most important long-term adverse effects of diabetes mellitus (DM), which is usually under diagnosed, as it is frequently asymptomatic. As it seems that the control of DM in developing nations is not optimal, it can be predicted that the prevalence of cardiac complications of DM is subsequently high. We assessed the prevalence of such complications in a developing community in the north of Iran.Method: T...
