Background: Osteomas are benign, slow-growing bone tumors that can be classified as central, peripheral, or extraskeletal. Central osteomas arise from the endosteum, peripheral osteomas from the periosteum, and extraskeletal osteomas within the muscle. Frontal peripheral osteomas are mainly encountered in plastic surgery. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with frontal peripheral osteomas.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who visited our hospital with frontal peripheral osteomas between January 2014 and June 2022. We analyzed the following variables: age, sex, tumor type (sessile or pedunculated), single or multiple, size, history of head trauma, operation, and recurrence.
Results: A total of 39 patients and 41 osteomas were analyzed, of which 29 osteomas (71%) were sessile and 12 osteomas (29%) were pedunculated. The size of the osteomas ranged from 4 to 30 mm, with an average size of 10 mm. The age of patients ranged from 4 to 78 years with a mean age of 52 years. There were seven men (18%) and 32 women (82%), and the man-to-woman ratio was 1:4.6. Two patients (5%) had multiple masses, with two osteomas in each, while only two patients (5%) had a history of head trauma. Twenty-nine patients (74%) underwent ostectomy by a direct approach, and none of the patients experienced recurrence.
Conclusion: The epidemiologic data of our study will help plastic surgeons encounter frontal peripheral osteomas in the field to provide proper management for their patients.

NPAS2 (Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 2) is a component of the core circadian clock and the coordinated activity between central brain and peripheral liver clock proteins postulated to be instrumental for linking behaviour and metabolism. We investigated a conditional liver-specific knockout mouse model (Npas2-/- or cKO) to explore its function in activity, circadian rhythms and cognition (novel object recognition-NOR). Circadian rhythms showed no genotype differences.

Purpose: The study investigated the changes in cardiovascular and cerebral hemodynamics elicited by the diving response during static (S) and dynamic (DYN) breath-holding (BH) in moderately trained recreational breath-hold divers (BHDs).
Methods: Nineteen BHDs (42.9 ± 7.
This case report presents a rare occurrence of 49,XXXXY syndrome in a 14-month-old male, the first documented case from Nepal, highlighting several distinctive clinical features. The patient had a height and weight below the third centile at birth and exhibited dysmorphic facial features, including a flat facial profile, flat nasal bridge, broad nose, low-set ears, and clinodactyly, along with genital anomalies like micropenis and small testes. Neurologically, he demonstrated generalized hypotonia and global developmental delay.

In male hamsters, puberty is associated with increased serotonin innervation and unusual responses to fluoxetine, such as enhanced play-fighting activity against intruders but also an acceleration of its maturation from attacks focused on the face (frontal attacks) to the lower belly and rump, suggesting a role for serotonin (5-HT). We tested the role of 5-HT and 5-HT receptor subtypes on play-fighting behavior observed during resident intruder tests through peripheral treatment with receptor agonists and antagonists. Contrary to observations in adult hamsters, we did not observe any overarching effects of treatment on measures of play-fighting activity, nor its maturation from frontal attacks.

Degeneration of peripheral nerves causes neuropathic pain. Previous studies have documented structural and functional brain alterations in peripheral neuropathy, which may be attributed to maladaptive plasticity following chronic neuropathic pain. Nevertheless, the effects of peripheral neuropathic pain on the macroscale organization of the cerebral cortex have not been explored.
