Twenty-seven patients aged 7-18 years, with hyperthyroidism and diffuse goite received 131I and 125I in doses of 200-350 muCi/gm of gland. The drug was given in a unique dose to 14 patients and fractioned (maximum 4 doses) to the rest. The total maximum dose was 15 mCi. Doubtless recovery was obtained in 25 cases and probable improvement in another 2 (the patients were lost track of). Exophthalmometric values did not increase in any of the patients

Membrane with a large content of collagen were used as a model of electrically charged membranes.The transmembrane potential was measured in case of the spontaneous diffusion of one or two cationic species, respectively.A simplified form of the Teorell-Meyer Sievers theory was used to compute the junction potential and the effective fixed electric charge density.Membranes of different thickness were studied. The net fixed electric charge reversed

Lucrarea se adreseazã cu precãdere studenţilor Facultãţii de Medicinã Dentarã, care studiazã endocrinologia în cursul anului III. Consider cã o serie de aspecte endocrinologice ar putea fi utile viitorilor stomatologi. Astfel, nu se recomandã lucrãri protetice la pacienţii cu acromegalie activã, în care IGF 1 plasmatic este crescut; lucrãrile protetice trebuie temporizate pânã la normalizarea IGF 1 plasmatic (capitolul 3).

Introduction: A long term follow - up of thyrotoxic patients treated sur- gically is required not only for early detection of hypothyroid patients with poor compliance with treatment, but also for revealing late postoperative hyperthyroidism. Regarding the prevalence of postoperative hyperthyroidism, two previous studies found that 16% relapsed after 20 years (Kalk WJ, 1978) and 19% of post - thyroidectomy thyrotoxicosis occurred 20 -50 years after

Background: After total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), thyroglobulin (Tg), anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (Anti TgAb) and post-therapeutic 131I scan (whole body scan-WBS) are essential for the risk stratification and for further management. Stimulated serum Tg levels on thyroid hormone (T4) withdrawal are usually well correlated with 131I imaging results. Changes in thyroglobulin
