Hope Springs Eternal: Insights Into the Durability of Springs to Provide Long-Term Correction of the Scaphocephalic Head Shape
Spring-mediated cranial vault expansion (SMC) has become a primary treatment modality at our institution to correct scaphocephalic head shape in the setting of isolated sagittal craniosynostosis (CS). Spring-mediated cranioplasty is associated with minimal procedural morbidity and reliable clinical efficacy, although long-term outcomes are not well elucidated. Herein we describe our institutional experience and lessons learned with SMC. We hypothesize that SMC performed in young infants offers durable...

Autologous Facial Fat Transfer: Soft Tissue Augmentation and Regnenerative Therapy
Soft-tissue contour deficiencies depend on various origins including esthetics, congenital and post trauma asymmetries, post tumor defects, and chronic wound sequelae. Reconstructions or repairs are still a challenge today. Fat grafting is an old reconstructive technique dating back to 1893, but it has only recently become popular, especially among plastic surgeons. Being generally disregarded by medical practitioners for many years, adipose tissue has come into the spotlight because it is omnipresent...

Analysis of Orbital Morphology and its Relationship With Eyelid Morphology
Correct anatomical reconstruction of the orbital wall for function and cosmesis is important; however, this is difficult because of the structure's complexity. The authors aimed to analyze and classify orbital morphology from computed tomography (CT) images and examine the relationship between orbital morphology and eyelid morphology in the Japanese population. CT images of 60 men (right side, 29; left side, 31) and 44 women (each side, 22) were included. The lengths of the orbital medial wall and...

Sinus Pericranii in Posterior Cranial Vault Distraction
Anomalous venous connections between the extracranial and intracranial systems are relatively rare. These connections are also known as sinus pericranii (SP) have been reported previously in the setting of various cranial malformations including craniosynostosis. Angiography may be useful in the diagnosis of SP also allowing for differentiation of the dominance of the venous systems. Several methods have been described in the treatment of SP. In isolated cases both endovascular and open approaches...

Giant Mixed Tumor of the Skin Affecting the Hemiface
Mixed tumor of the skin (MTS) is a rare skin adnexal neoplasm occurring in sweat glands. It is usually benign, measures 0.5 to 3 cm, and presents as a slowly growing, painless, firm nodule commonly in the head and neck regions. Owing to its rarity and lack of distinctive clinical manifestations, confirmative diagnosis is made on the basis of its pathologic features. Malignant MTS also develops de novo or from preexisting benign MTS even though they occur rarely. It should be excised completely to...

Evaluation of Surgical Approaches for Tumor Resection in the Deep Infratentorial Region and Impact of Virtual Reality Technique for the Surgical Planning and Strategy
Objective: Tumors in the deep infratentorial region can be accessed via the supracerebellar-infratentorial (SCIT) or suboccipital-transcerebellar (SOTC) approaches in the sitting or prone position. Diagnosis of tumors in this region and review of their therapies are inseparably connected with cranial tomographic imaging. We retrospectively evaluate a cohort of patients who underwent tumor resection in this region and correlate complication rates to the literature, and evaluate the potential influence...

Pushing the Limits in Cheek Reconstruction: The Sub-Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System “Deep Plane” Cervicofacial Flap for Reconstruction of Large Eyelid-Cheek Junction Defects
The cervicofacial flap is a workhorse flap for reconstruction of moderate to large sized defects of the cheek. Defects that involve the eyelid-cheek junction are often the most challenging of these. While the ideal plane of dissection has been debated, it is our belief that dissection in the sub-superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (SMAS) plane provides better aesthetic and functional outcomes due to enhanced vascularity, fascial support, and additional bulk of the flap itself. The authors present...

Posterior Distraction Using Springs in Syndromic and Multisuture Craniosynostosis: Improving the Technique
Introduction: Posterior distraction is the preferred surgical treatment for particularly Apert and Crouzon syndrome in most craniofacial centers, using either external distractors or springs. The authors prefer the use of springs and have adapted their technique to further improve outcomes. Methods: All patients who were treated with the adapted technique for occipital expansion using springs were included. The most significant adaption that the authors introduced in 2017 is using a bony...

Egg mass polymorphism in Ambystoma maculatum is not associated with larval performance or survival, or with cell density of the algal symbiont Oophila amblystomatis
Abstract Phenotypic polymorphisms are common in nature, but the mechanism through which natural selection maintains them can be difficult to identify. Heterozygote advantage, negative frequency-dependent selection, and variation in selective environment each can explain polymorphisms in some systems. Although first observed nearly 100 years ago, the egg mass color polymorphism in the spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) still is not well understood. Females of this species...

Mutational landscape and in silico structure models of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor Binding Domain reveal key molecular determinants for virus-host interaction [NEW RESULTS]
Protein-protein interactions between virus and host are crucial for infection. SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 pandemic is an RNA virus prone to mutations. Formation of a stable binding interface between the Spike (S) protein Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) of host actuates viral entry. Yet, how this binding interface evolves as virus acquires mutations during pandemic remains elusive. Here, using a high fidelity bioinformatics pipeline,...
