The recently resurrected genus Anthony, 1929 includes poorly known small cricetid rodents that are widely distributed in tropical South America. Along with Anthony, 1921, these species are the most terrestrial members of the tribe, which is otherwise distinguished by adaptations that allow species to live in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Newly collected Ecuadorean specimens provide complementary information of the craniodental and soft anatomy of , focusing on rhinarium morphology, soft palate, stomach, caecum configuration, and other features. In addition, the phylogeny presented here, combined with species distribution models, suggests a simplified taxonomy indicating that (Musser & Gardner, 1974) has a wide distribution extending from Venezuela to Peru. In this novel scenario, (Ochoa & Soriano, 1991) would be a junior synonym of , and the application of a trinominal taxonomy appears premature.

Delayed Maxillary Reconstruction with Free Osteocutaneous Fibula Flap Using CAD-CAM Technology.
Indian J Plast Surg
February 2025
Centre of Excellence in Industrial and Product Design, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, India.
Maxillary reconstruction poses unique challenges for the reconstructive surgeon because of the complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the maxilla. Undertaking this endeavor on secondary reconstruction makes it more difficult due to problems in recreating the true defect. This study is an attempt to demonstrate the role of virtual surgical planning (VSP), 3D printing, and mock surgery in reconstructing such defects using free fibula flaps.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. Identifying the anatomical sites of airway obstruction is crucial for optimizing treatment, particularly in patients requiring surgical intervention. In recent years, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating upper airway obstruction in OSAS patients.

Repairing hard tissues, such as bones, remains a significant challenge, especially in adverse clinical conditions. Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a calcium phosphate (CaP), has structural and chemical characteristics similar to the mineral structure of human bones and teeth, offering bioactivity and biocompatibility properties. Photobiomodulation (PBM) uses light to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing.

The use of autologous biological preparations (ABPs) and their combinations fills the void in healthcare treatment options that exists between surgical procedures, like plastic reconstructive, cosmetic, and orthopedic surgeries; non-surgical musculoskeletal biological procedures; and current pharmaceutical treatments. ABPs, including high-density platelet-rich plasma (HD-PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrates (BMACs), and adipose tissue preparations, with their unique stromal vascular fractions (SVFs), can play important roles in tissue regeneration and repair processes. They can be easily and safely prepared at the point of care.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, arises from skeletal muscle cells that fail to differentiate terminally. Two subgroups of RMS, fusion-positive and fusion-negative RMS (FPRMS and FNRMS, respectively), are characterized by the presence or absence of the fusion gene. RMSs frequently exhibit increased expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2).
