In the past two decades, several important new medicines have been discovered and developed for patients. Major advances have been made in the treatment of hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, AIDS, and arthritis. Advances in biomedical science have provided the understanding of disease processes and the technology to foster these discoveries. This book recounts the basic and clinical work that led to some of the most important new treatments. With the advent of the genomic era in biomedicine, we can look forward to many more treatment advances.

Thirty four isotopes of iodine have been found and produced, but only one, is stable. is a long-lived radioisotope of iodine occurring in the nature, but is mainly produced and released by human nuclear activity. The most frequently used radioiodines in biomedicine are and the application of and in biomedicine has increased in recent years. The sources of and the production methods for radioisotopes of iodine, and biomedical application of radioiodine are presented. Concentrations of iodine isotopes, especially in the thyroid and urine are discussed. Analytical methods for the determination of iodine isotope, especially and are reviewed. Finally, the radiation risk of radioiodine to the thyroid, especially the radioisotopes released from nuclear accidents, and 1351, are discussed.
