The technics of growing of small bowel neomucosa is one of the possible surgical therapies for the treatment of the short bowel syndrome. We carried out an experimental study in rats implanting patches and tubes of dura mater in the antimesenteric border of intestine. The growth of normal neomucosa is demonstrated. The animal tolerance to the dura mater patch is established in 3-4 cms. We also have proved that dura mater tubes are inefficacious. The dura mater is a good support for the growth of the small bowel neomucosa; however, it's necessary to prove their utility in the surgical treatment of short bowel syndrome.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the possible leakage of intra-articular contrast solution into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through dehiscence of the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF-dehiscence) in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) and RGF-dehiscence by magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA). 25 joints of 22 patients (mean age, 44.28 ± 17.

Background: Implementing the thermoplastic mask as a treatment option in Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has madethe discussion of the relative benefits of frame- or mask-based fixation for treatment a frequent occurence. Based on a case review, the authors discuss factors that need to be understood and considered by the treating team.
Observations: The authors describe the case of an 81-year-old patient with pleomorphic dermal sarcoma that extended to and infiltrated the dura mater, who underwent extensive resection requiring a skin flap.

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder, with primary scalp and intracranial involvement being particularly uncommon. The imaging features and clinical manifestations of RDD often overlap with other intracranial lesions, such as meningiomas, leading to misdiagnosis. This study presents a case of primary scalp and intracranial RDD, with a comprehensive analysis of its imaging, pathological, and intraoperative findings, alongside a review of the literature on central nervous system (CNS) RDD and its diagnostic and therapeutic advancements.
