ABSTRACT
On the basis of 126 cases it has been demonstrated that liposuction is a surgical procedure, which can be performed safely on an outpatient basis only under precise conditions--patient class ASA I, recovery room, permanent phone connection between the doctor and the patient after leaving the facility. The suction of more than 2500-3000 ml fat tissue increases the hazards associated with this type of operation. The regional epidural anesthesia is perfectly suitable for the outpatient/one-day surgery.

A dosimetry-radiometry system has been developed at the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Science to measure the fluxes and dose rates on the flight of the second Bulgarian cosmonaut. The dosimetry system is designed for monitoring the different space radiations, such as solar cosmic rays, galactic cosmic rays and trapped particles in the earth radiation belts. The system consists of a battery operated small size detector unit and a "read-write" and telemetry microcomputer unit. The sensitivity of the instrument (3.67 x 10(-8) rad/pulse) permits high resolution measurements of the flux and dose rate along the track of the Mir space station. We report our initial results for the period of the flight between the 7th and 17th June 1988.
