We're sorry, an error occurred. A radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) is one of two kinds of scans used to diagnose thyroid diseases. The other is called a thyroid scan. An RAIU shows how well your thyroid is functioning. A thyroid scan shows the size, shape, and position of the gland. Your doctor may recommend an RAIU scan if you have symptoms of an overactive thyroid, blood work indicating an overactive thyroid, or an enlarged thyroid gland.
Burn ban in effect in Yakima County. As of Monday, November 17, 2014 | 4:08 p.m. A stage one burn ban was declared by the Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority this past Saturday for all of Yakima County. The burn ban will remain in effect until further notice due to deteriorating air quality conditions in the upper and lower regions of Yakima County.
Fire department data for 2010 and 2011 indicated a 26 percent reduction in wildfires during the burn ban period for those years when compared to the previous 10 years (2000-2009). In addition, 86 percent of all communities across the state had a reduction of wildfires compared with the previous five years.
