Purpose: To review cases of lateral brow dermoid cysts and gain insight into the utility of preoperative imaging, incidence of intraorbital extension, and recurrence rate.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of all patients who underwent excision of lateral brow dermoid cysts at the authors' academic center over a 37-year period.
Results: A total of 136 patients were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates facial skeletal differences (dimorphism) in young white individuals undergoing gender-affirming surgery using statistical shape modeling (SSM), a new method that combines AI and 3D modeling.
- Based on CT scans of 98 patients, results indicate that male mandibles are generally larger and have a squarer shape, while female mandibles have smoother transitions at key angles.
- SSM proves to be an effective and automated tool for analyzing these gender differences in mandibular structure, potentially improving surgical planning and outcomes.

July 2024
Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the independent and added value of a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) to New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional analysis in patients with heart failure (HF) and ejection fraction (EF) <50%.
Methods: Patients (n = 613) with HF and EF < 50% underwent CPX and were followed for 28 ± 17 mo with respect to primary outcomes (death or heart transplantation).
Results: Mean patient age was 56 ± 12 yr, and 64% were male.
