The authors present a case of extreme brain herniation encountered during decompressive craniectomy in a 21-month-old boy who suffered a trauma event that necessitated temporary scalp closure in which a sterile silicone sheet was placed. Although the clinical situation is usually expected to lead to brain death or severe disability, the patient's 3-year follow-up examination revealed a highly functional child with a good quality of life. The authors discuss the feasibility and advantages of temporary scalp expansion as a treatment option when extreme brain herniation is encountered during craniotomy.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the clinical and surgical management of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) in the temporal bone, analyzing six case studies treated between 2017 and 2024 at a tertiary care institution.
- Key findings indicate that the average patient age was 27.5 years, with symptoms like scalp swelling and hearing impairment, and successful surgeries resulted in no recurrences during a follow-up period.
- The research concludes that complete surgical removal is the best treatment for temporal bone ABCs, stressing the importance of the tumor's stage and the extent of resection in determining patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- - This study presents the Vertical Internal Brow Suspension (VIBS), a new technique aimed at preventing lateral brow relapse after endoscopic brow lifts, a common issue leading to patient dissatisfaction.
- - A retrospective analysis of 118 brow lift cases showed significant increases in brow height without affecting forehead height, with minor complications like frontal suture extrusions and temporary hair loss.
- - The findings suggest that VIBS offers a stable and effective solution for maintaining brow elevation post-surgery, marking a significant improvement in upper face rejuvenation techniques.
Nutrition, Obesity, and Seborrheic Dermatitis: Systematic Review.

Department of Dermatology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, United States.
Background: Pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis involves lipid secretion by sebaceous glands, Malassezia colonization, and an inflammatory response with skin barrier disruption. Each of these pathways could be modulated by diet, obesity, and nutritional supplements. Current treatment options provide only temporary control of the condition; thus, it is essential to recognize modifiable lifestyle factors that may play a role in determining disease severity.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to quantify the association of temporary epilation following interventional neuroradiology (INR) procedures and compare the peak skin dose (D) threshold to published values.
Methods: Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH) is a major centre for INR with over 500 primarily interventional procedures performed every year. D is calculated when the reference air kerma (K) exceeds 3 Gy.
