AI Article Synopsis

  • A 61-year-old man, diagnosed with left upper alveolar spindle cell carcinoma, had surgery for removal and reconstruction of the affected area.
  • After the surgery, he experienced unstable emotions and acute delirium, prompting further tests.
  • Elevated urine iodine levels were found, but he ultimately recovered completely and returned home.

Article Abstract

A physically independent and mentally competent 61-year-old gentleman was diagnosed with left upper alveolar spindle cell carcinoma. He underwent left infrastructure maxillectomy with reconstruction and had bismuth iodoform paraffin paste packed in the post-operative cavities. The patient subsequently exhibited labile emotions and acute delirium. Further investigation showed that his urine iodine level was highly elevated. He eventually made a full recovery and returned home.

Background: Enhanced iodide intake in NOD.H2(h4) mice accelerates the incidence and severity of spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) via an unknown mechanism. A plausible hypothesis is that iodide-induced apoptosis of thyrocytes can create imbalances in antigenic load and/or disruption of immunoregulatory mechanisms that facilitate activation of autoreactive T cells in cervical lymph nodes draining the thyroid.

Monolateral sialadenitis following iodinated contrast media administration for carotid artery stenting.

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery Paride Stefanini, Policlinico Umberto I, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.

We describe the occurrence of monolateral aseptic sialadenitis following non-iodinated contrast medium (ICM) administration for a carotid artery stenting procedure in a 71-year-old man. The mechanism for iodide-induced sialadenitis may be idiosyncratic or related to toxic accumulation of iodide. The risk for sialadenitis is directly related to serum iodide levels (> 10 mg/100 mL) and inversely related to normal renal function so that in renal impairment, ICM can be eliminated through alternative pathways such as the salivary glands and other excretory organs.

NOD.H-2h4 mice are genetically predisposed to thyroid autoimmunity and spontaneously develop thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAb) and thyroiditis. Iodide administration enhances TgAb levels and the incidence and severity of thyroiditis.

The monohalomethanes (methyl iodide, methyl bromide and methyl chloride) are widely used industrial methylating agents with pronounced acute and chronic toxicity in both experimental animals and man. Recently inhalation exposure of rats to methyl bromide has been shown to result in severe olfactory toxicity. This study examined the effects on the rat nasal cavity of inhalation of methyl iodide (100 ppm for 0.
