Unlabelled: Bone abnormalities of orbit seen in patients with trauma or radiolesion are accompanied by enophthalmos or exophthalmos. Conventional measurements of eyeball protrusion with Hertel's exophthalmometer or with computed tomography do not provide accurate and reliable data, especially in patients with asymmetry of lateral orbital rims.
Purpose: To develop a method of computed exophthalmometry that provides accurate and reliable measurements in patients with various orbital conditions.

As a result of some deviations in the installation of the X-ray inspection plant 'Extravolt-225/1600' two workers of an X-ray inspection laboratory were exposed to the radiation in a dose enough to cause an acute local radiolesions (LRs). The first patient was diagnosed with an acute LR of the hands of severe and extremely severe degree. The second patient was diagnosed with a mild LR of her right hand.

Already used in oncology as adjuvant treatment for certain metastatic cancers and in second line for high-grade gliomas, it has been recently used as a treatment of cerebral radionecrosis resisting conventional drug treatment and hyperbaric oxygen. This article presents three patients with cerebral radionecrosis and treated by monthly infusions of bevacizumab (10 mg/kg per month).

Background: There is evidence that stem cells contribute to the restoration of tissue vascularization and organ function. The objective of this study was to assess the presence of adipose-derived adult stem cells left in their natural scaffold in the purified lipoaspirate and to assess the clinical effectiveness of lipoaspirate transplantation in the treatment of radiation side effects.
Methods: This study was designed beginning with surgical procedures in 2002 and envisaging a continuous patient follow-up to 31 months.

Systematic human pathological background to brain tumor radiosurgery explaining biological and pathophysiological effects of focused irradiation barely exists. The goal of this study was to explore histopathological changes evoked by single high-dose irradiation in a set of different brain tumors following Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS). Light microscopy revealed that GKRS evokes degenerative and proliferative pathological changes in the parenchyma, stroma and vessels of the irradiated tumors.
