Objective: To classify and repair "Butterfly Ear" deformity which presents characters of dysplasia of inferior auricle of ear and congenital bat ear.
Method: The repairment procedures include: type I: auricular cartilage flap inversion folding technique. type II: local ear skin flap. type III: soft tissue expander autogenous, rib cartilage framework.
Results: The method was used in 19 cases from October 2001 to March 2005. Postoperative follow-up showed satisfactory results in all cases.
Conclusion: According to "Butterfly Ear" deformity classification, different technique could be applied.

Article Synopsis
- Cartilage perichondrium composite grafts (CPCG) were utilized in tympanoplasty to address issues such as reperforations, with a goal to improve graft techniques and evaluate their success.
- The study involved 54 ear operations on 48 patients, revealing significant improvements in audiological measurements following the procedure, with a graft success rate of 94.4%.
- Modifications to the grafts aimed to reduce the chance of reperforation and improve auditory outcomes, indicating that CPCG is effective even for high-risk ear perforations.
Endoscopic Rosette Cartilage Inlay-Onlay Myringoplasty: A 1-Year Prospective Study.

Unlabelled: Since 1952, myringoplasty has evolved with various surgical techniques, including overlay, underlay, sandwich, pegging, rosette, and plugging. Overlay and underlay methods are most commonly used. In 1998, Eavey introduced the cartilage and perichondrium butterfly inlay myringoplasty, designed for small to medium-sized perforation closure, offering practical advantages such as reduced surgical time and improved hearing outcomes.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy and performance of the Butterfly IQ+ handheld ultrasound (HHUS) in detecting retinal detachments (RDs).
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of eyes with (n = 20) and without (n = 20) RD imaged using a conventional B-scan ophthalmic ultrasound device Ellex Eye Cubed by Clarion Medical Technologies (Cambridge, ON, CA) and a portable HHUS (Butterfly IQ+). Images were compared between the modalities for qualitative differences.

Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science, The University of Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
Purpose: To describe the clinical, electrophysiological and genetic spectrum of inherited retinal diseases associated with variants in the PRPH2 gene.
Methods: A total of 241 patients from 168 families across 15 sites in 9 countries with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in PRPH2 were included. Records were reviewed for age at symptom onset, visual acuity, full-field ERG, fundus colour photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), and SD-OCT.

The presence of intra-specific acoustic communication in diurnal butterflies is not well established. Here, we examined the function of the tympanal ear (Vogel's organ, VO) in the seasonally polyphenic butterfly in the context of sexual signalling. We investigated how the VO and the flanking enlarged veins, which are suggested sound resonance chambers, scale with wing size across sexes and seasonal forms, and how disruptions to the VO alter courtship behaviour and mating outcomes.
