Purpose: This study aimed to investigate frontal sinus volume as a potential indicator of cranial compensatory growth in unoperated normocephalic nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis (NNSC) patients compared with age-matched and sex-matched controls. Previous studies have suggested that frontal sinus volume is suppressed in unoperated craniosynostosis and may be an intracranial space conservation phenomenon.
Methods: Head computed tomographies (CTs) from 22 unoperated NNSC patients at our institution were utilized in this study and matched with age-matched and sex-matched control subjects.
Brain tumors, a significant health burden, rank as the second leading cause of cancer among adolescents and young adults and the eighth most common cancer in older adults. Despite treatment advances, outcomes for many brain tumor types, especially glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), remain poor. Precision population cancer medicine (PPCM) offers promising avenues for improving outcomes in brain tumor management.

Later on, as GM made progress, there was a feeling of exhilaration that GM could help resolve many disease processes. It also led to the conviction that personalized medicine was possible, and a relatively synonymous word, precision medicine (PM), was coined.

We report the fine needle aspiration cytologv (FNAC) findings of deep JXG.
