Examinations of 28 children with various tumors of the visceral cranium and neck have shown that both ultrasound and magnetic resonance tomography should be used primarily for diagnosis and follow-up. These tomographic methods are especially suitable for use in children. Ultrasound is better suited to visualization of localized, superficial masses and MRT to examination of deeper lying tumors within the complex structures of the visceral cranium and neck. X-rays in different planes should be regarded as supplementary examinations. The use of CT, preferably as high-resolution CT, provides more precise visualization of fine bone structures. Conventional tomography has been almost completely replaced by CT. Angiography is applied mainly in subsequent, interventional measures; videofluoroscopy should be used to examine lesions of the upper airways and digestive tract.

Despite the threat that lionfishes pose to non-native marine ecosystems worldwide, their early life stages (ELS) remain difficult to distinguish from morphologically similar taxa due to inadequate descriptions and poorly defined taxonomic characters. Two members of the Indo-Pacific marine assemblage commonly known as lionfishes, zebrafishes, firefishes, turkeyfishes, and butterfly-cods (Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae: Pteroinae) are invasive in the Western North Atlantic (WNA). Here, we describe the ELS of Pterois volitans, Dendrochirus barberi, and two transforming larvae and an early juvenile of D.

Article Synopsis
- - Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is caused by a mutation in the neurofibromin gene, leading to various benign and malignant tumors, including nerve sheath tumors and brain tumors.
- - Multiparametric whole-body MRI (WBMRI) is essential for monitoring NF1, using multiple imaging sequences to visualize different types of lesions across the body.
- - The article highlights various NF1-related lesions, emphasizing the importance of timely identification through WBMRI for better diagnosis and patient care.
Research progress of orbital fat in histology and cytology: A review.

Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, The Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Orbital fat is an adipose tissue located behind orbital septum and originates from mesoderm and neural crest in ectoderm. It has been found that the histologic structure of orbital fat is different from subcutaneous and visceral fat. In addition, the regeneration and anti-inflammatory ability of stem cells derived from orbital fat have attracted much attention in recent years.

The epidural space of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is largely filled by a continuous venous sinus. This venous sinus extends throughout the trunk and tail of the alligator, and is continuous with the dural sinuses surrounding the brain. Segmental spinal veins (sl) link the spinal venous sinus (vs) to the somatic and visceral venous drainage.
