Sampling of radioiodine in air is accomplished by passing an air sample through an activated charcoal cassette. A mathematical model was developed, which assumes that radioiodine distribution along the cassette axis can be expressed by an exponential function. The model was validated experimentally for cassettes used for air sampling of radioiodine production boxes. There is a good agreement between the measurements and model predictions. Furthermore, when breakthrough occurs, the model can be used to estimate the activity that passed through the cassette unabsorbed.

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) generally has a favorable prognosis, and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is typically used for metastatic DTC that continues to progress and poses life-threatening risks. However, resistance to RAI in metastatic DTC significantly impairs treatment effectiveness. This study aims to identify potential compounds that may influence RAI efficacy.

Article Synopsis
- Differentiated thyroid carcinoma is the most common type of endocrine cancer and has seen a rise in cases over the past 30 years, particularly affecting women, who often undergo total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine treatment.
- This study aims to examine the impact of radioiodine therapy on ovarian function by measuring levels of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which helps assess ovarian reserve in women.
- Findings show a significant drop in AMH levels shortly after treatment, followed by a gradual increase, indicating that monitoring AMH could aid in creating tailored treatment plans for young women considering pregnancy after thyroid cancer treatment.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is very important topic in any radioisotope production facility. It is mandatory for some operators to be available behind hot cell that produce radioisotope to practice some tasks concerning maintenance, dosimetry and operation. One of these tasks is redundant transferring Radioiodine from cell to quality control lab and vice versa for measurements.

Differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) constitute the primary histological subtype within thyroid cancer. Due to DTCs' distinctive radioiodine (RAI) uptake mechanism, standard treatment involving surgery, with or without adjunctive therapy using RAI and levothyroxine inhibition, typically yields favorable prognoses for the majority of patients with DTCs. However, this favorable outcome does not extend to individuals with decreased RAI uptake, termed radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancers (RAI-RTCs).

Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine malignancy. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is its predominant subtype, which is responsible for the vast majority of cases. It is true that PTC is a malignant tumor with a very good prognosis due to effective primary therapeutic approaches such as thyroidectomy and radioiodine (RAI) therapy.
