An 18-month-old boy with sickle cell disease developed progressive left periorbital edema and temporalis fullness. Imaging revealed two inferotemporal subperiosteal fluid collections and adjacent temporalis muscle thickening. After undergoing an anterior orbitotomy with drainage and biopsy, the patient was diagnosed as having a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis involving the lateral orbit.

Background: Motor imagery is the mental representation of a movement without physical execution. When motor imagery is performed to enhance motor learning and performance, participants must reach a temporal congruence between the imagined and actual movement execution. Identifying factors that can influence this capacity could enhance the effectiveness of motor imagery programs.

Background: The Focused Sylvian Approach (FSA) is a refined, minimally invasive technique for clipping small to medium-sized middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, prioritizing safety and aesthetics.
Method: The craniotomy remains confined to the superior temporal line, with the incision concealed within the temporal muscle. The Sylvian fissure is carefully dissected to preserve venous structures.

Among control methods for robotic exoskeletons, biologically inspired control based on central pattern generators (CPGs) offer a promising approach to generate natural and robust walking patterns. Compared to other approaches, like model-based and machine learning-based control, the biologically inspired control provides robustness to perturbations, requires less computational power, and does not need system models or large learning datasets. While it has shown effectiveness, a comprehensive evaluation of its user experience is lacking.

The bipartite GAL4/UAS system is the most widely used method for targeted gene expression in and facilitates rapid genetic experimentation. Defining precise gene expression patterns for tissues and/or cell types under GAL4 control will continue to evolve to suit experimental needs. However, the precise spatial and temporal expression patterns for some commonly used muscle tissue promoters are still unclear.

: Sport climbing's popularity has grown with its inclusion in the Olympics and increased accessibility. Understanding the relationship between hand dominance, grip strength, endurance, and the involvement of masticatory and neck muscles can provide valuable insights into the neuromuscular adaptations specific to sport climbing, potentially aiding performance optimization and injury prevention in intermediate and advanced climbers. This study analyzes if the dominant hand has greater isometric endurance and isometric manual grip strength parameters than the non-dominant one and examines its relation to the masticatory and neck muscles in intermediate and advanced sport climbers.
