Why is radioactive iodine useful in diagnosing and treating certain thyroid conditions?

Nataly [62]3 years ago

 <span>It's used because the thyroid is the only organ in your body that absorbs iodine. Radioactive iodine scans show if the thyroid is overactive or under active (hyper and hypo) and it can help tell if certain types of thyroid cancer spread throughout the body. High doses of radioactive iodine basically cause the thyroid to kill itself by up taking massive amounts of iodine, and it also minimizes the radiation exposure to the rest of your body.</span>

Describe Inhalants appearance
hodyreva [135]
<h2>Answer: <u>Inhalants</u></h2><h2><em>What They Are: </em></h2>

<em>Inhalants are things that are breathed in to give the user an immediate rush, or high. They include glues, paint thinners, dry cleaning fluids, gasoline, felt-tip marker fluid, hair spray, deodorants, spray paint, and whipped cream dispensers (whippets). </em>

<em> </em>

<h2><em>Sometimes Called: </em></h2>

<em>whippets, poppers, snappers, rush, bolt, bullet </em>

<em> </em>

<h2><em>How They're Used: </em></h2>

<em>These are inhaled directly from the container (called sniffing or snorting), from a plastic bag (called bagging), or by holding an inhalant-soaked rag in the mouth (called huffing). </em>

<em> </em>

<h2><em>What They Do: </em></h2>

<em>Inhalants produce a quick feeling of being drunk — followed by sleepiness, staggering, dizziness, and confusion. Long-time users get headaches, nosebleeds, and sometimes lose their sense of smell. Inhalants decrease oxygen to the brain and can cause brain damage. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Using an inhalant just one time can lead to life-threatening health problems, and even cause death.</em>
