Intraosseous hemangioma is a rare bone tumor accounting for 0.7% to 1.0% of all bone tumors. It can occur at all ages but is most common in the fourth and fifth decades of life and has a female preponderance (3:1) [1]. Intraosseous hemangiomas are usually found in the vertebral column and rarely seen in the calvarium. Among the calvarial bones, the parietal bone is the most commonly involved, f...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of balanced deep lateral and medial orbital wall decompression and to estimate surgical effects using computed tomography (CT) images in Korean patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). METHODS Retrospective chart review was conducted in TAO patients with exophthalmos who underwent balanced deep lateral and medial orbital wall decompressi...

AIM To provide age and gender-specific reference values for orbital fat and muscle volumes (MV) in Caucasian adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS Computed tomographic scans of 160 orbits from 52 men and 55 women, aged 20-80 years, not affected by orbital disease were evaluated. Orbital bony cavity volume (OV), fat volume (FV) and MV were calculated by a previously validated method using the software ...

The accurate measurement of extragalactic distances is a central challenge of modern astronomy, being required for any realistic description of the age, geometry and fate of the Universe. The measurement of relative extragalactic distances has become fairly routine, but estimates of absolute distances are rare. In the vicinity of the Sun, direct geometric techniques for obtaining absolute dista...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to radiographically evaluate marginal bony changes in relation to different vertical positions of dental implants. METHODS Two hundred implants placed in 107 patients were examined. The implants were classified by the vertical positions of the fixture-abutment connection (microgap): 'bone level,' 'above bone level,' or 'below bone level.' Marginal bone le...
