Evidence Based Recommendations in Sinonasal Tumors Involving Orbit: Preservation or Exenteration? An IHNSG Guidelines.

Sinonasal tumors with orbital involvement present significant management challenges due to the complex anatomy of the orbital and sinonasal complex and the potential for severe tumor- and treatment-related morbidities. This comprehensive review examines evidence-based decision-making guidelines in the context of treating sinonasal malignancies involving the orbit. We evaluate pre-treatment assessment strategies, discuss the indications for orbital preservation versus its exenteration, explore the role of neo-adjuvant therapies, and analyze reconstruction techniques with ensuing rehabilitation approaches and quality of life.

A new species of eight-gilled hagfish (Myxinidae: Eptatretus) from the deep waters of the Lakshadweep Sea, India.

A new species of eight-gilled hagfish genus Eptatretus (Myxinidae) is described based on five specimens trawled on the upper continental slope off Kollam, Kerala, India, northern Indian Ocean. Eptatretus gopali sp. nov.

Early Combination of an Obturator with a Free Flap to Prevent Palatal Dehiscence Following Oral Cancer Surgery: Technique and Indications.

Introduction: In the Indian subcontinent where tobacco chewing is rampant, composite 'bite' defects are common after oral cancer ablation, which comprise buccal mucosa, maxilla and mandible with or without skin. These are often reconstructed with soft tissue flaps like anterolateral thigh flaps, which provide ample soft tissue replacement. A common problem is palatal dehiscence where these flaps are inset, due to the dynamics of speaking and chewing, as well as the gravitational pull on the flap.

A new species of six-gilled hagfish (Myxinidae: Eptatretus) from the Lakshadweep Sea.

A new species of hagfish, Eptatretus wadgensis sp. nov., is described from the Wadge Bank, Lakshadweep Sea, India, obtained from a depth of ~250300 m through deep-sea trawling.

A new deep-water species of snake eel, Xyrias anjaalai sp. nov. (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae), from the Western Indian Ocean.

A new species of snake eel Xyrias anjaalai sp. nov. (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) is described from morphological analysis of 12 specimens and molecular analysis of four specimens, caught off Kollam, Kerala, southwestern India, by deep-sea trawling.
