AI Article Synopsis

  • Osteotomies during rhinoplasty usually rely on the surgeon's instinct to decide on the amount and direction of force applied.
  • The study aimed to identify when fractures occur and when the osteotome hits the thicker frontal bone by using an instrumented hammer to record impact forces on human specimens.
  • A machine learning algorithm successfully predicted fracture occurrences and the proximity to the frontal bone with high accuracy rates (up to 93%) and provided real-time feedback for surgeons.

Article Abstract

Osteotomies during rhinoplasty are usually based on surgeon's proprioception to determine the number, energy, and trajectory of impacts. The first objective was to detect the occurrence of fractures. The second objective was to determine when the thicker frontal bone was encountered by the osteotome. An instrumented hammer was used to measure the impact force during lateral osteotomies on nine human anatomic specimens. A prediction algorithm was developed using machine learning techniques, to detect the occurrence of fractures, and the proximity of the osteotome to the frontal bone. The algorithm was able to predict the occurrence of fractures and the proximity to the frontal bone with a prediction rate of 83%, 91%, and 93% when allowing for an error of 0, 1, and 2 impacts, respectively. The location of the osteotome in the frontal bone was predicted with an error of 7.7%. An osteotomy hammer measuring the impact force when performing lateral osteotomies can predict the occurrence of fractures and the proximity to the frontal bone, providing the surgeon with instant feedback.

Morphological patterns of the European bison (Bison bonasus) skull.

Department of Morphological Sciences, Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW, 02-776, Warsaw, Poland.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of environmental factors, sexual selection, and genetic variation on skull morphology by examining the skull structure of the European bison, a species at risk of extinction, and comparing it to other bovid species. The skull of the European bison was significantly bigger than that of other species of the tribe Bovini, and the results revealed considerable morphological differences in skull shape compared to other Bovini samples. The bison skull exhibited a broader shape in the frontal region and a more laterally oriented cornual process.

FDG PET/CT in a Case of Gardner Syndrome.

Clin Nucl Med

December 2024

From the Department of Neurology, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Gardner syndrome is characterized by multiple intestinal polyps and extraintestinal lesions. We describe FDG PET/CT findings of the extraintestinal lesions in a patient with Gardner syndrome. FDG PET/CT showed 2 hypermetabolic desmoid tumors in the abdominal wall, sclerotic areas with multifocal activity in the maxilla and mandible, multiple osteomas in the bilateral parietal, left frontal, sphenoid and ethmoid bones, an impacted tooth in the right maxilla, and bone islands in the T2 and T5 vertebral bodies.

FGFR2 directs inhibition of WNT signaling to regulate anterior fontanelle closure during skull development.

The calvarial bones of the infant skull are linked by transient fibrous joints known as sutures and fontanelles, which are essential for skull compression during birth and expansion during postnatal brain growth. Genetic conditions caused by pathogenic variants in FGFR2, such as Apert, Pfeiffer, Crouzon syndromes, result in calvarial deformities due to premature suture fusion and a persistently open anterior fontanelle (AF). In this study we investigated how Fgfr2 regulates AF closure by leveraging mouse genetics and single-cell transcriptomics.
