- Iodine-131 is often used to treat Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism. In Graves' disease the thyroid begins to overproduce thyroid hormone. If a small amount of iodine-131 is consumed, it will concentrate in the thyroid gland and destroy its ability to function. If a tablet containing 15.0 μg of 131I is ingested by a patient, how many days will it take for the amount of iodine to decay to less than 1 μg?arrow_forwardThe rate of a simple enzyme reaction is given by the standard Michaelis–Menten equation: rate = Vmax [s]/([s] + KM) if the Vmax of an enzyme is 100 μmole/sec and the KM is 1 mM, at what substrate concentration is the rate 50 μmole/sec? Plot a graph of rate versus substrate (s) concentration for [s] = 0 to 10 mM. Convert this to a plot of 1/rate versus 1/[s]. Why is the latter plot a straight line?arrow_forward15. An IV infusion is administered to a 120 lb patient by IV infusion at a rate of 1.8 mg/kg/hr. The drug has a half-life of 8 hours and distributes into a volume of 15 L. a) Find the concentration function C(t) while the infusion is being administered. b) Find the loading dose required to make C(1) a constant if the infusion continues. c) If the loading dose from part b is given followed by 24 hours of infusion at 1.8 mg/kg/hr, graph the concentration for the first 48 hours. d) If the loading dose from part b is given followed by 24 hours of infusion at 1.8 mg/kg/hr, how long will the concentration remain within the therapeutic window of 50-100 mcg/ml?arrow_forward

Answer:arrow_forwardThe dosage of technetium-99m for a lung scan is 20. µCi /kg of body mass. How many millicuries of technetium-99m should be given to a 49 kg person (1 mCi = 1000uCi)? Suppose a person absorbed 46 mrad of alpha radiation.What would be the equivalent dose in millirems?arrow_forward

If a dose with an activity of 24 μCiμCi is given to a patient, how long will it take for the patient to have less than 3 μCiμCi present?arrow_forwardA beam of 5.0 MeV alpha particles (q-2e) has a cross-sectional area of 1.50 cm2. It is incident on flesh (p-950 kg/m³) and penetrates to a depth of 0.70 mm. a) What dose in Gy does the beam provide to the flesh in a time of 3.0 s? b) What effective dose does it provide?
