'Rai triangle', a new anatomic landmark on the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible which when identified and taken into consideration, may have a definite advantage. This is especially in terms of performing the medial horizontal cut which is an important and integral part of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy so as to avoid a bad split. The objective of this article is to propose an easily identifiable bony land mark, which is closely related to lingula of mandible that may ease the procedure of osteotomy and avoid bad splits.

Do elephants really never forget? What we know about elephant memory and a call for further investigation.
Learn Behav
October 2024
Department of Psychology, Hunter College, City University of New York, 695 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10065, USA.
Despite popular culture's promotion of the elephant's ability to "never forget," there is remarkably limited empirical research on the memory capacities of any living elephant species (Asian, Elephas maximus; African savanna, Loxodonta africana; African forest, Loxodonta cyclotis). A growing body of literature on elephant cognition and behavioral ecology has provided insight into the elephant's ability to behave flexibly in changing physical and social environments, but little direct evidence of how memory might relate to this flexibility exists. In this paper, we review and discuss the potential relationships between what we know about elephant cognition and behavior and the elephants' memory for the world around them as they navigate their physical, social, and spatial environments.

Article Synopsis
- The human IRGM gene is associated with inflammatory conditions like sepsis and Crohn's disease, where decreased expression can lead to increased inflammatory markers in the body.
- Prior research showed that changes in metabolism and mitochondrial functions are linked to increased inflammatory responses, but the exact mechanisms were unclear.
- New findings revealed that type I interferon (IFN) production in macrophages is crucial for heightened cytokine levels due to IRGM deficiency, and novel pathways affecting mitochondrial function contribute to this inflammatory response.
Mechanisms and Effects of Activation of Innate Immunity by Mitochondrial Nucleic Acids.
Int Immunol
August 2024
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease Laboratory, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 USA.
Article Synopsis
- Mitochondria play a crucial role in innate immunity by transferring their DNA and RNA to the cytoplasm and lysosomes in response to various stressors, acting as signaling molecules in immune responses.
- This process activates specific receptors that trigger the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines, essential for fighting infections and regulating inflammation.
- Understanding these mechanisms could lead to new therapies for diseases related to immune dysfunction, highlighting mitochondria's significance in both amplifying immune signals and maintaining cellular health.
Giant Cervical Lymphangioma Extending from Skull Base to Clavicle- A Rare Case.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
June 2024
Department of Pathology, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India.
Lymphangiomas are congenital benign lesions commonly seen in pediatric age group with a rare occurrence in the region of head and neck, commonly presenting as asymptomatic masses. Cervical lymphangioma is a rare entity among adults, and giant sized lymphangiomas in this region have sparse mention in literature. This case report describes the rare presentation of a giant cervical lymphangioma and the challenges involved to treat such masses in the region of head and neck.
