Karyological features of Erinaceus concolor and Hemiechinus auritus were studied from Zenjan (North Iran). The diploid number of chromosomes (2n), the total numbers of chromosomal arms (NF) and the numbers of autosomal arms (NFa) were determined as 2n = 48, NF = 92, NFa = 88 for E. concolor and as 2n = 50, NF = 98, NFa = 94 for H. auritus. Although the same dental formulae were established as 3.1.3.3/2.1.2.3 = 36 for both of species, they can be identified with some dental and cranial features from each other. Additionally, phallus of E. concolor was described.

Traumatic brain injuries present significant diagnostic challenges in emergency medicine, where the timely interpretation of medical images is crucial for patient outcomes. In this paper, we propose a novel AI-based approach for automatic radiology report generation tailored to cranial trauma cases. Our model integrates an AC-BiFPN with a Transformer architecture to capture and process complex medical imaging data such as CT and MRI scans.

Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is a rare complication associated with rapid sodium changes, typically encountered in patients with severe hyponatremia. ODS in patients with normonatremia (ODSIN) is less recognized. We describe a patient with MRI-detected ODSIN following neurotrauma and reviewed the relevant literature.

Objective: The Melbourne technique for total cranial vault remodeling aims to address all aspects of scaphocephaly in sagittal craniosynostosis. These features include anterior-posterior excessive length, anteriorly displaced vertex position, frontal bossing, vertex narrowing, and occipital bulleting. This study aimed to determine the progressive cranial changes that occur following the Melbourne technique for sagittal craniosynostosis.
