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.

Metastasis of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) to the adrenal gland is infrequent, with only eight patients reported in the literature. Here we present an ASPS in an adolescent girl presented as a hypervascular adrenal incidentaloma along with a review of the available literature. This study aims to serve as a reference to aid in the pre-operative radiological and histopathological diagnosis of this rare entity.

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.

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.

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.
