1. Radioiodine Therapy of Hyperthyroidism - Simplified patient-specific absorbed dose planning
Abstract : Radioiodine therapy of hyperthyroidism is the most frequently performed radiopharmaceutical therapy. To calculate the activity of 131-I to be administered for giving a certain absorbed dose to the thyroid, the mass of the thyroid and the individual biokinetic data, normally in the form of uptake and biologic half-time, have to be determined.

2. Microdosimetry of radiohalogens in thyroid models
Abstract : The radiohalogens 123I, 124I, 125I, 131I, and 211At are routinely used or proposed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The different characteristics and application areas of these radioiodine isotopes, together with the possibility to bind them to the same carrier molecule, give many advantages, for example, by enabling relevant biodistribution and dosimetric studies important for dose-planning before radionuclide therapy.

3. Molecular Mechanisms of Graves' Ophthalmopathy. A focus on smoking and radioiodine
Abstract : Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hyperthyroidism and is caused by an interplayof genetic and environmental factors. One-third of patients with GD develop Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). Keyprocesses in the pathogenesis of GO are inflammation and adipogenesis in orbital tissue. READ MORE

5. Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy : treatment for hyperhyroidism and evaluation of methods for measuring saccadic eye movements
Abstract : Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is the orbital manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disease that clinically affects about 30-50 % of patients with Graves disease (GD). The clinical features of TAO are in most patients mild and transient. READ MORE
