AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences in the thickness of the Schneider membrane (sinus membrane) between men and women using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
- It analyzes 100 CBCT scans from 50 males and 50 females aged 25-50, focusing on how the membrane's thickness varies by age and gender.
- Results indicate that women, particularly in the 36-50 age group, have a thicker sinus membrane than men, which may impact the risk of complications during sinus lift procedures for dental implants and has potential forensic applications.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Sinus augmentation requires careful manipulation of the Schneider membrane. Perforation of the membrane can be a challenging complication.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the sexual dimorphism of Schneider membrane (sinus membrane) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging modality and discuss its clinical applications vis-à-vis the sinus lift procedure for dental implants and also its forensic implications.
Materials And Methods: One hundred CBCT scans in the maxillary first molar region of fifty men and fifty women in the age group of 25-50 years were examined at two standardized points on the floor and lateral wall of maxillary sinus, and its mean was obtained. Measurements were taken for thickness of sinus membrane at most prominent antero-posterior and mesio-distal dimensions. The mean sinus membrane thickness and correlation in age groups (25-35 and 36-50 years) of both the genders were evaluated statistically.
Results: The results showed a thicker sinus membrane in women, especially in 36-50 age group than that of men.
Conclusion: This study correlates the thickness of the sinus membrane with gender dimorphism and delves on its association with the risk of perforation during sinus lift procedures and also its forensic implications.

Aim: To determine bone regeneration following sinus floor elevation (SFE) at sites with or without prior sinus membrane perforation.
Materials And Methods: The sinus membranes in the maxillary sinuses of 12 rabbits were intentionally perforated (≥ 5 mm) on one side, followed by application of a collagen matrix. SFE was performed on both sinuses after 8 weeks of healing, presenting two groups: SFE with a previous large sinus membrane perforation (group SFE_Perf), and in an intact sinus (group SFE).

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the anatomical principles governing the surrounding venous structures (VS) of the horizontal part of the third segment of the vertebral artery (V3h) and develop a safe and bloodless surgical technique for exposing V3h.
Methods: This study used ten formalin-infused cadaveric head specimens. The dissections were performed stepwise to simulate the far lateral approach process, exposing the V3h with a novel technique.

Background/objectives: Tissue remodeling, including dense eosinophil infiltration, is essential for forming inflammatory nasal polyps (NPs) and the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Toxic eosinophil major basic protein (MBP) damages the sinus mucosa epithelium and lamina propria, which initiates reparative processes leading to tissue remodeling. MBP specifically binds to BMK-13 antibodies allowing immunohistochemical (IHC) tissue staining for eosinophils.

India, owing to its population structure, faces an enormous burden of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Systematic challenges such as limited public health infrastructure, a shortage of trained specialists, and high out-of-pocket expenditures hinder uniform access to comprehensive CHD care. Despite these limitations, Indian pediatric cardiologists have delivered innovative and often cost-effective solutions to challenging clinical problems.
