The wide applications of the subcutaneous pedicle flap "lateral orbital flap" named by the author is presented. The flap is designed between the lateral canthus and the sideburn as a spindle or crescent shaped island 2- to 3-cm wide and 5-cm long. To reconstruct the upper or lower eyelids, the flap is elevated as thin as possible, whereas for the eye socket reconstruction, an adequate volume of subcutaneous fat tissue is attached to the flap. The pedicle is designed inferomedially for the reconstruction of the recipient, any shape of the flap can be designed. As the anatomic structure of the donor site is similar to the eyelid, the excellent result can be obtained both functionally and cosmetically. The donor site is primarily closed without a marked scar. The cases of reconstructions using lateral orbital flap for the upper eyelid and the eye socket in the anophtalmic condition are presented.

Realizing spin-orbit torque (SOT)-driven magnetization switching offers promising opportunities for the advancement of next-generation spintronics. However, the relatively low charge-spin conversion efficiency accompanied by an ultrahigh critical switching current density () remains a significant obstacle to the further development of SOT-based storage elements. Herein, spin absorption engineering at the ferromagnet/nonmagnet interface is firstly proposed to achieve high SOT efficiency in Pt/Co/Ir trilayers.

Background: This study examines the management and outcomes of large paranasal sinus osteomas (PSO), especially those abutting or encasing critical structures of the skull base and orbit.

Methodology: A multicentric retrospective analysis was conducted between June 2007 and September 2023. The study included surgically treated (regardless the type of approach chosen) PSO, exceeding 3 cm in diameter and/or located in critical anatomical areas.

Purpose: Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are treated almost exclusively by endovascular techniques, but the frequency of treatments is limited in smaller centers. We analyzed all CCFs treated in our hospital to determine if high-quality treatment of CCFs can be provided in a medium-volume neurovascular center.

Methods: Retrospective quality-control cohort study.
