The role of 99mTc-ethambutol scintigraphy to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is a significant health problem in many parts of the world. According to the Global Tuberculosis Report 2020, 10 million new tuberculosis cases were reported worldwide in 2019, with only 57% of these cases being bacteriologically confirmed. Current tuberculosis diagnostic tests depend on the quality of the sputum, leaving many diagnostic uncertainties.

Correlation between ER, PR, HER-2, and Ki-67 with the risk of bone metastases detected by bone scintigraphy in breast cancer patients: A cross sectional study.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. About 30%-85% of breast cancers will metastasize to the bone during the course of the illness. Many studies have shown that molecular marker/subtypes can be useful in determining incidence of different and inconsistent bone metastases.

The effect of retinoic acid in the ability of cold solid thyroid nodule to take up radioactive iodine: A preliminary study.

One of the treatment options for benign thyroid nodules is radioactive iodine (RAI). However, this treatment is more effective for hot/warm solid thyroid nodules. Cold thyroid solid nodules are characterized by the lack of iodine uptake compared to normal thyroid tissue.

Antithyroglobulin Antibody as a Marker of Successful Ablation Therapy in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

The aim of this study was to determine the role of antithyroglobulin antibody (ATA) serum as a marker of successful I-131 ablation therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients with low serum thyroglobulin (Tg). A retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients (10 males and 50 females). All patients underwent posttotal thyroidectomy and received 2.
