Aging Study of Silver-exchanged Mordenite and Silver-functionalized Silica Aerogel in Dry Air, Humid Air, No and No2
<p>Iodine-129 (129I) is one of the volatile radioactive species in the off-gas streams generated from the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing system, and it is essential to remove 129I vapor because 129I has a long half-life (1.6 x 107 years) and can be fatal to the human body if released to the …

Adsorption of organic Iodides on Reduced Silver Functionalized Silica Aerogel
<p>In the nuclear waste reprocessing, radioactive iodine is released in both organic and inorganic forms into off-gas streams. Due to its properties of long half-life and accumulation in human bodies, the radioactive iodine is required to be removed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and …

A mathematical model of iodine spiking in pressurized water reactors
… products into the primary coolant, including radioactive iodine. During steady-state operation of the reactor a low level iodine activity is thus present in the coolant. Initiation of a down-power or up-power transient will result in a rapid climb in the activity of the iodine which peaks at a …

Some factors regulating albumin catabolism and synthesis
… Dynamic studies using albumin labelled with radioactive iodine revealed evidence of early adaptational changes, possibly occurring before alteration in the plasma albumin levels. While these studies shed some light on the response of albumin metabolism to experimental depletion, they failed …

Evaluation of hemostasis in hyperthyroid cats
… cats before and after treatments with radioactive iodine (RIT). Methods: Twenty-five cats with hyperthyroidism and 13 healthy euthyroid cats > 8 years of age were studied. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), fibrinogen, antithrombin (AT), D-dimers, …

An Acoustic Pulse Electro-Kinetic Sensor
… of the protein with some kind of label (e.g. radioactive iodine, or a fluorescent marker). More recently, efforts have focussed on improving techniques which do not, such as Surface Plasmon Resonance. In this dissertation, a new real-time, label-free system is described, which has notable …

A descriptive analysis of children and adolescents with Graves disease attending the paediatric endocrinology services of the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital and Groote Schuur Hospital over 20 years
… for children with GD include Carbimazole (CMZ), radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy and surgery. The paucity of GD data in children from the sub-Saharan African region, challenge the physician in identifying the best suited diagnostic and treatment strategies for the patient population in their …

Adsorption of Iodine and Water on Silver-Exchanged Mordenite
… fissile materials generates off gases including radioactive nuclides namely 3H (tritiated water, H3HO), 129I, 85Kr, 135Xe, and 14C. Due to its high quantity in off-gas streams and long half-life (1.59 million years), 129I removal from the off-gas streams is a significant objective of off-gas …

BISMUTH-FUNCTIONALIZED SORBENTS FOR RADIOIODINE CAPTURE
… xerogel during the sol-gel process and its iodine capture performance was evaluated. Xerogel made with porogens captured more iodine (526 ± 31 mg g-1) compared to xerogel without porogen of same bismuth loading level (359 ± 53 mg g-1). The bismuth loaded xerogels were aged in an oxidizing …

Efficacy of single fixed dose of radioiodine (I-131) therapy in patients with hyperthyroidism at Groote Schuur Hospital
… (12-51 mmol/L) (p=0.002). We administered a radioiodine therapy dose of 456.6±54.8 MBq (Mean ± SD) to these 409 patients. Among the 353 patients, with complete records, 314(89%) achieved cure at some stage after receiving one dose of RAI; 239(76%) achieving cure ≤ 6 months of therapy and 75(24%) …

Viral HSV1-TK gene, radiolabeled FIAU, and ganciclovir: combined gene targeted radiotherapy and suicide gene therapy for prostate cancer
… alternative substrate of the HSV1-TK enzyme. The iodine atom of FIAU can be substituted with radioactive iodine, for example; [123I]-iodine, and thereby utilised for the delivery of ionising radiation into tumour cells expressing the viral tk gene. The aim of this study was primarily to …

Aspects of the chemistry of milk protein films formed on stainless steel
… specific activity containing not more than one iodine atom per protein molecule and having properties that could not be distinguished from those of unlabelled proteins were prepared. In the course of the work several further aspects of the iodination reaction and the reactions of iodine species …
