Multiple cases of posterior helical ear pits (PHEP) with apparent autosomal dominant inheritance in a very large family are reported. There are at least 2 cases of Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome (WBS) within this family. Three other instances of familial PHEP and/or WBS are presented. An individual with a somewhat atypical osteopetrosis and PHEP is described. The previous literature of PHEP and the association with WBS is reviewed.

Axial muscle-fibre orientations in larval zebrafish.

Most teleost fish propel themselves with lateral body waves powered by their axial muscles. These muscles also power suction feeding through rapid expansion of the mouth cavity. They consist of muscle segments (myomeres), separated by connective tissue sheets (myosepts).

Background: Despite advancements in anaesthesiology and regional anaesthesia, the three-dimensional spread of local anaesthetics is still poorly understood. This study investigates the pericapsular spread of radiopaque contrast after ultrasound-guided genicular nerve block in cadaveric knees using CT reconstruction. The aim is to assess the reproducibility, accuracy, and variability of this technique in order to improve safety and effectiveness.

The authors present a case of a partial auricular deformity acquired from a human bite that was reconstructed using a 3-stage posterior auricular tubed flap. Helical rim avulsions may be ideally reconstructed with a tubed flap created from lax postauricular soft tissue. During the third stage, division and inset of the inferior pedicle of the flap were complicated by venous congestion.

Article Synopsis
- A new low-dose 3D localizer scan option for CT exams was introduced, prompting a comparison of radiation doses between this method and traditional 2D localizers, which involves different sampling geometries and radiation spectra.
- A Monte Carlo simulation was developed to assess the organ and effective doses for various localizer acquisition techniques, including different combinations of 2D localizer styles and the new 3D method, validated through CTDI phantom measurements.
- Results showed that the effective doses varied across methods, with the combined AP+LAT 2D localizer yielding the highest average effective dose, while the 3D localizer provided a lower dose than expected, indicating the importance of dose comparison in choosing CT techniques.
A Modification of the Quad Helix: The "Bi Helix".

Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Goa Dental College & Hospital, Bambolim, Goa, India.
Aim And Background: The quad helix is well known for its ability to treat posterior crossbites in children with maxillary deficiency. A few authors have also used it for the treatment of unilateral crossbite due to unilateral maxillary deficiency by incorporating modifications in the appliance. The aim was to treat a unilateral crossbite using a newly modified quad helix.
