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.
County burn bans on open burning can be put in place at the request of the District Fire Warden (usually the District Forester), after at least 10 fire chiefs or 50% of the fire chiefs in the county, whichever is less, recommend and request the imposition of a temporary countywide burn ban on open fires.
