Wikijunior:Dinosaurs/Iguanodon

Iguanodon was once the one of the common dinosaurs. It was also one of the earliest dinosaurs to be discovered and named. Its name means Iguana Tooth in Greek.

What did it look like?
Iguanodon was a big dinosaur. It grew to be thirty feet long, 9,000 pounds (3-4 tons), and had a bulky body. Its neck was long and it had a long tail and a beak. The mouth had teeth in the cheeks toward the back and a sharp beak at the front. Iguanodon usually walked on four legs, but could stand on two if it wanted to reach high. It had four fingers and a bony cone-shaped spike/thumb, which was used for stabbing things trying to harm the Iguanodon.

What did it eat?
Iguanodon was a plant eater. It ate cyads and conifers as well as early flowering plants. It used its teeth to chew its food.

When did it live?
Iguanodon lived between 130 and 65 million years ago.

Where did it live?
Everywhere! Its habitats were: beaches, plains, forests, mountains, deserts and swamps. It lived in North and South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, Belgium, Spain and England.

How was it discovered?
A single Iguanodon tooth was discovered in 1822, one of the earliest dinosaur discoveries. The dinosaur was named Iguanodon in 1825 by Dr. Gideon Mantell, because its teeth were similar to the modern day iguana.

Why does it have a spike on its hand?
Iguanodon had a large spike on both of their hands, where our thumb would be. Originally, it was thought to go on the Iguanodon's nose, like a rhino horn. Later it was discovered that the spike actually goes on the hand. But what was it used for? Some say it could have been used to defend against attacking predators. Others say that the spike was used in fights when two rival Iguanodon met.

What do we need to learn?

 * What the spike was used for

 * The colour of skin

 * How it was so common and adaptable.

Wikijunior:Dinosaurs/Fossils

A fossil is the remains of an animal or plant that was once alive but is now dead. When the remains of an animal or plant become a fossil it is called fossilization.

How are fossils formed?
To show you how dinosaurs became fossils, here is a normal fossilization:
 * The dinosaur dies and is washed away in a flood. The body is buried in sediment (mud or sand) and eventually the body is covered.
 * The soft parts of the body are destroyed leaving only bones. Minerals from the sediment soak into the bones. Very slowly, minerals start to replace the bone. This turns the bones into stone.
 * Over millions of years, parts of the rock on the surface wear away. Eventually, the fossil skeleton comes to the surface and is discovered.

Where are fossils found?
Fossils have been found all over the world. Places where many fossils are found are called sometimes called 'fossil hotspots'. Famous ones include:
 * Ghost Ranch, La Brea Tar Pits and Morrison Formation in the U.S.A.
 * Burgess Shale in Canada.
 * Messel Shale in Germany.
 * The Gobi Desert in Asia.
 * The Isle of Wight and London Clay in the U.K.
 * The Jurassic Coast in Dorset, U.K.
 * Dinosaur Cove in Australia.

What are trace fossils
Trace fossils are fossils that are not of the actual body, trace fossils include:
 * Fossilized footprints.
 * Fossilized eggshells.
 * Fossilized nests.
 * Fossilized droppings, these are called coprolites.
 * Fossilized skeletons of animals.
 * Fossilized plants.

What should I do if I find a fossil?
It is unlikely that you will find a fossil but it could happen! If you think you've found a fossil then take it to a local museum or college and they can examine and tell you what it is. If you're really, really lucky it might be a new species of dinosaur. They could name it after you! However you should never go around digging up the ground with spades and shovels. Leave it to the experts! When you are an adult you can do this without experts but make sure you check with the police to make sure digging up dinosaur bone without experts is legal in your state/country

For all intents and purposes an enum IS an integer. Given the following:

Most compilers will treat 1+1, or 1+truck exactly the same. Either way it will either cast to an int as 2, or (toys) as car. Try feeding an enum to cout.

Harmonica/Bending

Bending notes is, without a doubt, the most important technique in harmonica playing. It adds that special bluesy something to your play, and allows you to play semi-chromatically on a normally diatonic instrument - especially in second position.

However, due to the unique, soulful sound generated by bending, you should learn how to bend notes even if you're playing a chromatic harmonica. On a chromatic harmonica, all holes that have windsavers can bend in both draw and blow; typically, this means all holes except for the higher octaves (hole 8 to 12), which can only draw bend on hole 8-11, and blow bend on hole 12.

On a diatonic harmonica, hole 1-6 can draw bend, and hole 7-10 can blow bend.

A player can bend the pitch of the higher tuned reed down toward the pitch of the lower tuned reed in any given hole. In other words, on a diatonic harmonica, on holes 1 through 6, the draw notes can be bent, and on holes 7 through 10, the blow notes can be bent. Hole 3 allows for the most dramatic bending: On a C harmonica, it is possible to draw bend hole 3 from a B down to a G#, or anywhere in between. The physics of bending are quite complex, but amount to this: the technique "pinches" the air and thus changes the pressure of the airflow.

How to do a bend:
 * Draw: This can be done by lowering the jaw, while raising the back of the tongue, focusing the air flow at the back of the tongue. If you want to, let the tip of the tongue touch the spot where the tenon meets the bottom of the mouth cavity.
 * Blow: This is done by lowering the jaw, while raising the front of the tongue slightly, focusing the air flow at just slightly behind the teeth.

Bends are essential for blues and rock harmonica due to the soulful sound they add to the instrument - the famous "wail" of the blues harp typically requires bending. Luckily, this can be done on all kinds of harmonicas; as Stevie Wonder has shown, one can even do it on a chromatic harmonica.

Those that want to be able to use any harmonica as a chromatic instrument should also learn to overbend.

Trouble With Poems

Liz and Ashley were on their way to art class

when they found out about the Poetry contest at

school in a month. They were excited, they could

not wait to get to creative writing class that day.

“Can you believe it?” Liz said “Someone in our

school will get to go to New York City for the

state finals!” “ I know, you know that it

could be it could be you or me that wins! That would be so

exciting ” Ashley exclaimed excitedly.

Finely the bell rang and they were off to creative

writing class. “Now class, most of you know

already that we are having a poetry contest”

Mrs. Landing their writing teacher said, “Now I

would like you to work on a poem for the

contest, maybe two poems and then you can

bring them to me so I can help you where you

need help.” Now Ashley loved to write she was

very good at it, but today she was having trouble.

She couldn’t get the right words in it all she

could come up with was: Love is ever

enduring. Love is always their. But what

comes next? She decided that she would work

on it at home. Besides this was her first poem.

Later after school, she talked to Liz about the

poetry contest “Liz have you ever done a poem

before?” Ashley asked,

“Well, yes I have, I did one when I lived in Mississippi it

was about the river Mississippi! Kind of funny isn’t it. Have

you ever done one?”

“I’ve never done one before do you think you could help

me?” Ashley pleaded, “Today in class I couldn’t get it right.”

“Well I think I could as long as you do the poem that

you enter, see you tomarrow”

“Bye Liz”

Ashley thought about what Liz had said about Ashley

doing the work, what did Liz think? That she

would cheat? Well, better get those things off

her mind she had to baby sit the next-door

neighbor’s 2-year-old girl.That evening after she

ate supper she got out her notebook, she had to

come up with a better poem “Mom?” Ashley

called through the house “Can you help me with

my poetry homework? I can’t come up with a poem

for the poetry contest next month”

“Well how about you look online for help,

that’s what I did in school and I won!”

“Okay I’ll try that, thanks mom” Ashley said. So

Ashley looked online for tips on writing poems.

She found some very interesting facts about

poems. Then she tried a poem again but it

wasn’t much better than the first try, but at

least she finished it. The next day she talked to

her teacher about it “ Mrs. Landing?” Ashley

asked hoping to find her.

“What is it Ashley?”

“I can’t write a poem and you said everyone

is entering right?”

“Yes I did, so you’re telling me that you can’t

Write a poem?”

“ Well Ashley I know how you

can do it you see in 2 months are the story book

contest….” So Mrs. Landing gave Ashley an

idea… Three week later Mrs. Landing told

everyone that they had to turn in their poems

that day and she had them write them out in

their best handwriting. Ashley had

gotten inspired by the story she had been writing

for the storybook contest. She called her poem

roses. When she turned it in her teacher read it

and she loved it. A week later, a school

assembly was called it was to announce who

won the contest first they called the 3rd place,

then 2nd went to Liz “And now what you’ve all

been waiting for the 1st place winner is” Mrs.

Landing announced “Ashley McRay” A loud

clapping form the kids at school told Ashley to

go up and accept her medal. Mrs. Landing told

her to read her poem: Roses Roses pink and white Roses all in sight Some are big some are small But they all have one thing alike

Roses are so beautiful Roses are so wonderful Roses are different in many ways And don’t look all alike

So you ask why I say They all have one thing alike So I will tell you if you stay Their all just the same Their all just roses But different kind I say.

In a few weeks she was on the road to New

York. In about 2 days she was representing New York at the

finals in Washington D.C. on May 4 her birthday. Some say

that she won because it was her birthday or that she cheated

by copying someone’s poem from another year but, I don’t

think that do you?

Harmonica/Positions

Playing Position
While traditionally, the harmonica was designed to play mostly the blow notes and major chords, blues musicians had discovered the benefit of using other "positions", mainly focusing upon the draw notes. The reason for using these position instead of the 1st position is that draw notes are louder, and are easier to bend to achieve a scale not otherwise available on the harmonica.

There are seven "natural positions" that can be achieved without much bending, with 3 major-based and 4 minor-based positions.

1st position
This is known as Ionian mode, where the notes play is in the original key of the harp; also known as "straight harp". On a C harp, this will be in C-major, and root chord is the C-major triad. Obviously, it will give the song a major feel. This is suitable for folk and pop tunes.
 * Major; Tonic notes are located at blow notes 1, 4, 7 and 10.

The melody will repeatedly wind back and resolve on the root note, which in this case is the C note. Also, it's recommend to move to E and G frequently, to emphasize the major triad that make up its core harmonics. Lastly, it is common to precede the root with the seventh note, which is half step lower; in this case, the note is B.

2nd position
This is known as Mixolydian mode, also known as "cross harp", having the feel of major and provide a driving, unsettling quality. On a C harp, this will be in G, and the root chord is the G-major triad. Playing just the unbended notes, the harmonica sounds in the key a fifth above its intended key.
 * Major; Tonic notes are located at draw 2 (also blow 3), blow 6 & blow 9

The melody will tend to resolve on the tonic note, particularly the root note; in the case of a C harp, the note is G. Also, the player will frequently precede the root note with the seventh note of the mode; in this case, it will be F. Note that, unlike Ionian mode, the seventh note is a whole step lower. This is known as the "flatted seventh", which is a key aspect of the blues' tonal quality.

Another important aspect to keep track of is the tritone interval; in this case, it is the interval between F and B; it is the most tense and unstable interval in terms of western music, but most perfect for blues and jazz.

The reason blues harpists commonly play in second position is that in traditional crossharp, the dominant chord or seventh chord is produced in place of the tonic chord, and in the blues, all chords are typically played as dominant (seventh or ninth) chords. The player can play slurs or bends around the minor/major third of the scale and around the tritone/fifth of the scale, both of which are vital to many blues compositions. Also, it allows draw bends on the lower octaves, making it suitable for blues or even jazz.

With a minor third (or a blue third), the player can use a C harmonica to play in G mixolydian or G minor. Blues players can also play a tritone in this position. This way, the player can play slurs or bends around the minor/major third of the scale and around the tritone/fifth of the scale, both of which are vital to many blues compositions.

The tuning of a harmonica played in this style is one fifth above the nominal tuning of the harmonica, i.e. in this instance, a C harmonica is played in the key of G. Therefore, to be in tune with a normal guitar tuning of E, an A harmonica is often used. This is because by playing the C harmonica in G, or an A harmonica in E, the dominant or seventh chord is produced in place of the tonic chord, and in the blues, all chords are typically played as dominant (seventh or ninth) chords.

3rd position
This is known as Dorian mode, also known as "slant harp", having the feel of minor, giving it a moody, contemplative quality. In this position, this will be playing the harmonica a full tone above its intended key. On a C harp, this will be in D, with the root chord being D-minor triad. In this case, the seventh note and the third note is a half-step lower than the corresponding note in Ionian mode, which is what make it melancholy and wistful. Likewise, it also allow draw bends. Thus it is most suited for minor-key folk and blues songs.
 * Minor; Tonic notes located at draw notes 1, 4, and 8.

The scale occurs mainly on draw notes, though once again bends and overblows give players a variety of options. Blues players can achieve a tritone by bending the 6 draw. Starting hole is hole 1 draw or hole 4 draw, depending on the occasion.

This is also the traditional way of playing Blues on Chromatic, providing a ii-minor key.

4th position
This is known as Aeolian Mode, which is the corresponding minor key to the Ionian mode. In the case of a C harp, it will be in A minor, with root chord of A-minor triad. In addition to 7th and 3rd flatted, it will also have the sixth flatted by half a step. This make it more stately and austere, and good for folk ballads.
 * minor; Tonic note located in draw 3", draw 6, draw 10

5th position
This is known as Phrygian Mode, which have the feel of a minor key. In the case of a C harp, it will be in the key of E, with its root chord of E-minor triad. It will have 7th, 3rd, sixth and second flatted. What makes it difficult to play is that the lower octave have 3 bends, making it hard to play accurately. This provide a mediterranean feel, especially when the flatted second is emphasized. It is common to waver between the flatted second and the root note.
 * minor; Tonic notes located in blow 2, 5, and 8

6th position
This is known as Locrian Mode, with a placid, minor feel. On a C harp, this will be in the key of B, with the principle triad of B-D-F, which is a diminished triad. Note that the outer notes of the diminished triad form a tritone. Problems arise from the fact that it is extremely unstable.
 * minor; Tonic notes located in draw 3 and 7

12th position
This is known as the Lydian mode, and has a major feel. On a C harp, this will give the key of F. It will have a natural seventh, but have a raised fourth, thus forming a tritone with the tonic notes. When playing it, it is a good idea to play the coe major triad of the mode to counter balance the highly emphasized raised fourth. Note that it has lots of bends in the first octave but plays easily in the second and third octave.
 * major; The Tonic notes are draw 2", 5, and 9

On a recent experiment of Lydian mode, I found it is an excellent key for something with rock beat. try playing this sequence: 2, 2+, 1, 2+, and repeat with numerous variance. Fun, huh?

I've been adding some content, but I've also been trying to rearrange some of the content to make it more accessible. Hopefully I've been making good changes, and not editing recklessly.

Since you seem to be a long time contributor, and the most recent bulk contributor, I was wondering what you think about the book right now. I've been looking at the German wikibook, and they have a large amount of content that could easily be translated and merged into this wikibook. Generally I was wondering what you think of the book right now, and how you think it could be developed in the future.

If you are interested in bouncing ideas around, or you can think of any other contributors that might be interested in collaborating, please leave me a message. Thanks, --NickPenguin 03:57, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Twpoems1000,

Wikibooks isn't for writing fiction or essays, so I moved "Trouble with poems" to your sandbox, so that you can copy it to somewhere else (I'm deleting the page from the main space).

Feel free to ask if you have questions. Nice edits on caffeine, by the way! -- SB_Johnny | talk 00:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Mac OS X Tiger/Utilities/Terminal

Introduction
OS X includes a bash, Bourne Again Shell, for taking advantage of its power Unix-like kernel Darwin. The bash shell was developed by Brian Fox in 1987 for the GNU Project, as a free, as in freedom, and improved terminal for using with Unix and Unix-like operating systems. The terminal is used by entering commands and their parameters in the form of text, with output also usually being text based. It's is comparable to Windows' MS-DOS prompt. More information about Unix can be found in the Guide to Unix.

Useful Commands
man [command name]  - Used by entering man and then the name of the command, who wish to know more about. It then displays the command's man page, which tells the user exactly what the command does and that additional parameters the user can specify. When it doubt use it!

ls - Lists the contents of the current directory

cd [directory]  - Moves from the current directory to the specified path name.

ps -ax - Lists all the current active processes along with their process number

kill [number]  - This can be used to force quit any process running on your system by entering the process number obtained by using ps -ax. Probably not a good idea to use it unless you know what you're quitting.

vi [Filename]  - vi is the standard Unix text editor, however it would take another article to describe all it commands and how to use it. If you don't specify a file name a new file will be created.

pico - Another text editor, slightly more user friendly, but not as standard, as vi.

emacs - Another 'text editor' emacs has evolved to become almost and operating system in and of itself, again it would take another wikibook to describe all it's features and uses.

tar -parameters [Filename]  - Tar, short for Tape Archive, is a bundling program than can also be used to compress or decompress files. Use -x or -c, as parameters, to extract or create a tar file. Further options can change the name of the tar file and the compression used.

mkdir - Creates a new folder

rmdir - Deletes a folder

rm - Deletes a file

Thanks.
No problem. I've been speaking hebrew since I was in kindergarten, so I can help out. Supertik1010 02:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

You're Welcome
I'm glad you approve of the use of the Hebrew Language template. In addition, you should be aware that several good Hebrew grammars exist in the Public Domain. You may want to have a look at Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar an excellent Public Domain book on the subject of Biblical Hebrew. You could probably use that as the basis of Free Content to pull from. —Wikijeff 02:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Learning from you
I'm actually learning Hebrew from your book and from the information on wikipedia and jewfaq.org, so I won't be able to help a whole lot. The only edits I've really made for your book are just minor corrections that tend not to even be related to the Hebrew, and if I correct the Hebrew it's after checking like five other sites to make absolutely certain. I'm going to be borrowing my friend's textbook for her Hebrew 1 class though and I ordered a really basic alephbet book off amazon, so I hope to contribute more in the near future. Until then, I really appreciate your book, it's really easy to follow and it's been a great help in learning the alephbet! Jacobroche 01:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello!
There you are! Ever since I've started working on the Hebrew wikibook I saw that you were the main contributor, however, your last edit was sometime in late 2007. We need to work together. Now what do you think about my idea (look at my user page)? Ētamš (Talk • Contribs) 19:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Radiation Oncology/Eye/Graves

Etiology

 * Inflammatory condition of extraocular muscles and tissues; thought to be autoimmune
 * Frequently associated with hyperthyroidism, but also described in euthyroid and hypothyroid patients
 * Histology shows widespread lymphocytic infiltrates, and interstitial edema
 * Edema can lead to compression of the optic nerve, decreased visual acuity, reduction in visual fields, and ultimately blindness
 * Fibrosis develops over course of 2-5 years, so treatment (including RT) ought to start early

Treatment Overview

 * Permanent control of hyperthyroidism when present is recommended
 * First line: high dose glucocorticoids, with favorable response in up to 60% patients
 * Surgery (orbital decompression) or RT can be effective second line therapies

Systematic Review

 * Israel; 2009 PMID 19491222 -- "Treatment Modalities for Graves' Ophthalmopathy - Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis." (Stiebel-Kalish H, J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2009 Jun 2.)
 * Meta-analysis. 33 trials, 1367 patients.
 * Meds: Corticosteroids: Intravenous pulsed better than oral. Somatostatin analogs: minor but statistically significant advantage over placebo
 * RT: No benefit for orbital RT over sham on clinical activity, superior for diplopial (OR 4.9, SS). Combination corticosteroids + RT significantly better than either treatment alone

Radiation

 * May be offered to those who are symptomatic and who failed high dose steroids, or are contraindicated for steroids (optic neuropathy or corneal ulceration)
 * Most common dose: 20 Gy in 10 fractions, although one study showed better results with 10 Gy in 1 Gy/fx, and even 20 Gy in 1 Gy/week x 20 weeks
 * Fields: lateral fields with posterior angulation, and lens sparing
 * RT may initially increase edema and thus symptoms; patients can be maintained on steroids early in the treatment
 * Best benefit of RT is concurrently with corticosteroids
 * Side effects (commonly 6 months - 3 years): cataracts, radiation retinopathy, radiation optic neuropathy
 * Relative contraindication: Diabetes, and particularly diabetes with HTN due to high rate of retinopathy

Randomized

 * Amsterdam
 * 2004 PMID 14715820 -- "A randomized controlled trial of orbital radiotherapy versus sham irradiation in patients with mild Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Prummel MF, J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2004 Jan;89(1):15-20.)
 * Randomized, double-blind. 88 patients (44 orbital RT, 44 sham)
 * Outcome: RT 52% vs. 27% at 12 months (SS) in improving eye muscle motility and decreasing diplopial. RT group less need for further treatment (SS). But, QOL improvement similar in both groups. Worsening ophthalmopathy similar (~15%)
 * Conclusion: RT effective in mild ophthalmopathy, but no improved QOL or treatment costs
 * 1993 PMID 8105213 -- "Randomized double-blind trial of prednisone versus radiotherapy in Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Prummel MF, Lancet. 1993 Oct 16;342(8877):949-54.)
 * Randomized double-blind. 56 patients with moderaly severe GO. Treated with 1) 3-month oral prednisone + sham RT vs. 2) RT 20 Gy + placebo capsules
 * Conclusion: RT and oral prednisone equally effective, but RT better tolerated

 * Mayo, 2001 PMID 11535445 -- "A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of orbital radiotherapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Gorman CA, Ophthalmology. 2001 Sep;108(9):1523-34.)
 * Randomized, double-blind. 42 patients. Moderate, symptomatic Graves ophthalmopathy. Orbit treated with 20 Gy, sham therapy to other side; 6 months later therapy reversed.
 * Outcome: No difference at 6 month cross-over. Slight improvement in muscle volume and proptosis in first treated eye at 12 months.

 * Mainz, 2000 (Germany) PMID 10634372 -- "Low- versus high-dose radiotherapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy: a randomized, single blind trial." (Kahaly GJ, J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2000 Jan;85(1):102-8.)
 * Randomized. Euthyroid patients with moderately severe GO. Treated with 1) 20 Gy @ 1 Gy/week over 20 weeks, 2) 10 Gy @ 1 Gy/fx over 2 weeks, or 3) 20 Gy @ 2 Gy/fx over 2 weeks
 * Outcomes: response to therapy 67% vs. 59% vs. 55% (SS)
 * Conjunctivitis: none vs. 18% vs. 36%
 * Conclusion: similar response rates, but 1 Gy/week protocol more effective and better tolerated

 * Utrecht, 2000 (Holland) PMID 10801172 -- "Radiotherapy for Graves' orbitopathy: randomised placebo-controlled study." (Mourits MP, Lancet. 2000 Apr 29;355(9214):1505-9.)
 * Randomised double-blind. 60 patients. Moderately severe GO. Treated with 1) RT 20/10 or 2) sham RT
 * Outcome: success in 60% RT vs. 31% sham (SS). Improvement in diplopia grade, but no reduction in proptosis or eyelid swelling. Also significant improvement in elevation, but no other variables. But only 25% of RT patients spared from additional strabismus surgery
 * Conclusion: RT should be used only for motility impairment

Retrospective

 * Amsterdam, 2004 (Holland) PMID 15288988 (1982-1993) -- "Orbital irradiation for Graves' ophthalmopathy: Is it safe? A long-term follow-up study." (Wakelkamp IM, Ophthalmology. 2004 Aug;111(8):1557-62.)
 * Retrospective. 157/245 patients treated with 20/10 and/or oral glucocorticoids. Probable retinopathy defined as 1-5 hemorrhages, definite retinopathy >5 lesions. Mean F/U 11 years
 * Mortality similar, none from intracranial tumor.
 * Retinopathy: possible 15%, definite 3%. Of 23 possible, 22 received RT, 1 steroids. Of 5 definite, all received RT. Diabetes highly associated with retinopathy (RR 21)
 * Cataracts: similar ~30%
 * Conclusion: orbital irradiation safe, except possibly for diabetic patients

 * Pisa, 2003 (Italy) PMID 12915636 (1972-1996) -- "Long-term safety of orbital radiotherapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Marcocci C, J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2003 Aug;88(8):3561-6.)
 * Retrospective. 204 patients. Median f/u 11 years
 * Cataracts: 10%. No tumors.
 * Retinopathy: mild in 14% with diabetes and HTN, 3% with HTN alone, none with DM alone
 * Conclusion: Safe, HTN with DM may be a relative contraindication

 * Sapporo, 2003 (Japan) PMID 12614743 -- "Effect of steroid pulse therapy with and without orbital radiotherapy on Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Ohtsuka K, Am J Ophthalmol. 2003 Mar;135(3):285-90.)
 * Prospective, nonrandomized. 39 patients, high dose steroids +/- RT 24 Gy
 * No difference between groups. Both significan improvement in EOM hypertrophy

 * Mayo, 2002 PMID 12414422 -- "The aftermath of orbital radiotherapy for graves' ophthalmopathy." (Gorman CA, Ophthalmology. 2002 Nov;109(11):2100-7.)
 * Retrospective. 42 patients. All RT, ~half also decompressed later. 3 year F/U
 * If RT only, slight improvement in outcome.
 * Conclusion: Limited evidence for RT benefit in mild-moderate ophthalmopathy

 * Muenster, 2002 1963-78 (Germany) PMID 11777638 -- "A long-term follow-up study after retro-orbital irradiation for Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Schaefer U, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2002 Jan 1;52(1):192-7.)
 * Retrospective. 250 patients bilateral ocular RT. Median F/U 31 years
 * OS (10 year, 20 year, 30 year): 89%, 68%, 49%; Normal popluation: 92%, 76%, 52%; Cancer specific OS: 98%, 92%, 88%. No radiation-induced cancer deaths evident
 * Conclusion: long-term results satisfactory, in a small cohort

 * Meinz, 2002 (Germany)(1981-1997) PMID 12548473 -- "[Retrobulbar irradiation for Graves' ophthalmopathy -- long-term results][Article in German]" (Pitz S, Klin Monatsbl Augenheilkd. 2002 Dec;219(12):876-82.)
 * Retrospective. 104 patients, 29 RT only, 75 RT + steroids. Mean F/U 40 months
 * Clinically no improvement in proptosis, lid signs, and intraocular pressure. Retrobulbar pain improved in 75%; improved motilty in 25%. Surgical decompression in 25% at 1 year
 * Conclusion: No treatment-related side effect. Improvement in ocular motility. RT shortens duration of disease, allowing earlier rehabilitative surgery

 * Stanford, 2001 PMID 11697323 -- "Long-term results of irradiation for patients with progressive Graves' ophthalmopathy." (Marquez SD, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2001 Nov 1;51(3):766-74.)
 * Retrospective. 197 patients. RT 20 Gy. Min F/U 1 year, max 29 years
 * Outcome: improved soft-tissue 89%, proptosis 70%, EOM dysfunction 85%, corneal abnormalities 96%, sight improved 67%. Time to response >6 months
 * Side effects: 12% cataracts (median 11 years)
 * Conclusion: safe and effective for progressive Graves
