In radiotherapy, radiochromic films can be used for verification of delivery of dose distributions calculated by treatment planning systems. The main objective of this work was to compare three different techniques for evaluation of dose distributions for prostate cancer treatment plans using radiochromic EBT3 films. These techniques are: red channel evaluation taking into account only a response of irradiated film (R), red channel evaluation taking into account a response of unirradiated and irradiated film (Rcor) and multichannel evaluation in FilmQA software (RGB). Also comparison between film and MatriXX measurement was performed. Comparison showed that gamma analysis passing rates strongly depend on evaluation technique and on a model of scanner for digitizing films. The highest gamma passing rates were obtained with red channel evaluation taking into account a response of unirradiated and irradiated film using Epson V750 scanner (Rcor) and multichannel evaluation in FilmQA using Epson 11000XL scanner.

Abscisic acid (ABA) mediated stomatal closure is a highly effective mode of active stomatal regulation under drought stress. Previous studies on stomatal regulation have primarily focused on the leaves of vascular plants, while research on the stomatal behavior of bulbous plants remains unknown. In addition, ABA-induced stomatal regulation in bulbs has yet to be explored.

Endocrine ophthalmopathy (EO; also called Graves' ophthalmopathy, thyroid eye disease) is a common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, characterized by the presence of autoimmune inflammatory process in the orbital soft tissues. The prevalence of EO is approximately 10 cases per 10.000 population, higher in individuals over 50 years old.
