Other Studies on Liquid 131I Administration
| Study | Summary | Similarities to case 1 | Differences from case 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rini et al. ( 12 ) | Capsular 131I tracers exposed patients to higher-than-intended amounts of radiation, compared with liquid 131I tracers | Not applicable | Inclusion criterion: Graves disease; radiation uptake compared |
| Al Aamri et al. ( 9 ) | Several capsule-related mishaps were cited (i.e., acrylic-glass tube adherence, swallowing difficulty, radiation exposure) | Pill dysphagia | Radioactive mishandling and misuse described |
| Honour et al. ( 15 ) | Case series of 144 RAI patients documented minimal fluid intake for speedy recovery | Not applicable | High-dose solid 131I therapy |
| Shields and Johnson ( 11 ) | Novel presentation was made of capsular 131I administration via endoscopic stomach implantation | Successful pill dysphagia workaround | Endoscopy required; capsule 131I administered |
