Aim: To assess whether povidone-iodine provided any benefit over and above a standard regimen of antibiotic therapy for the treatment of corneal ulcers. Methods: All patients diagnosed with corneal ...

Radioactive iodine treatment after thyroid cancer surgery usually means side effects like nausea and time in hospital isolated from loved ones. But new clinical trial results from researchers at ...

Australian researchers have developed a new dry electrode fabrication strategy for aqueous zinc-iodine batteries. They say it delivers cathodes with more than double the performance of iodine and ...

These results suggest that surgery or radioactive iodine may be better choices for people with hyperthyroidism who also have a higher risk of heart disease. One reason may be that surgery and ...

Australian researchers claim breakthrough on aqueous zinc-iodine batteries, an up-and-coming chemistry that promises to be safer, more sustainable and cheaper than li-ion.

The geochemical transport and fate of radioiodine depends largely on its chemical speciation that is greatly affected by environmental factors. This study reports, for the first time, the speciation ...

The short-lived, fission-produced radioisotope, 131I (t1/2 = 8.04 days), was detected in wastewater, surficial sediment, and suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples collected from New York Harbor ...

Radioactive iodine–refractory thyroid cancer (TC) has a poor prognosis, and restoring iodine uptake is a major therapeutic goal. Recent studies have used tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for 3–6 wk ...
