Summary: This study aimed to describe the types and prevalence of ophthalmic abnormalities in patients with craniosynostosis. The results showed that strabismus and astigmatism were the most common anomalies in different types of craniosynostosis. Syndromic craniosynostosis also had a higher proportion of decreased visual acuity.

Summary: Covalent modification is a promising strategy for engineering the electronic structures of carbon nanotubes, but maintaining the registration between modification sites and the nanotube lattice is challenging. In this study, we propose a solution using DNA-directed, guanine-specific cross-linking chemistry, which results in the formation of an ordered defect array. We also find that the functionalized nanotubes exhibit an ordered helical structure with a fixed periodicity, suggesting the potential for remodeling the nanotube lattice and achieving novel electronic properties.

Summary: Bone tissue engineering has potential for regenerating craniomaxillofacial bones, and 3D printing is a suitable method for creating personalized implants. However, the current clinical implementation of tissue engineering concepts in this field is poor, mainly due to the complexity of the anatomy and biology in the craniomaxillofacial region, as well as the limited relevance of preclinical animal models. There is a lack of appropriate guidelines and standards to address specific craniomaxillofacial pathologies and test the efficacy of biomaterials or tissue engineered constructs. Therefore, it is important to consider critical research aspects in order to develop clinically driven tissue engineered materials for craniomaxillofacial reconstruction.

Summary: Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising cancer therapy that uses ultrasound to trigger a sonosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with excellent tissue penetration depth. However, the spread of the sonosensitizer to healthy tissue beyond the tumor can cause undesired side effects. In this study, a GSH-activatable sonosensitizer prodrug is designed by attaching a quencher to tetraphydroxy porphyrin, which shows high tumor selectivity and activation in the presence of overexpressed GSH. The prodrug demonstrates effective tumor growth inhibition under ultrasound irradiation, highlighting its potential as a highly effective cancer treatment.

Summary: Correction surgeries for patients with unilateral coronal synostosis, such as fronto-orbital advancement and cranial vault remodeling, often result in noticeable relapse. Postoperative helmet therapy (PHT) has been implemented to help maintain surgical correction, improve secondary brachycephaly, and increase overall symmetry. Further research and patient enrollment are needed to determine the true benefits of PHT in this patient population.

Summary: We have developed an MRI-safe needle guidance toolkit that allows accurate positioning for needle-based procedures. The toolkit uses a flexible silicone 2D grid and matches the grid on MRI planning images with a physical silicon grid on the patient's skin. It provides an easy-to-use guide for radiologists, showing the needle entry point and angle on the silicon grid. This toolkit can be used for various needle-based and percutaneous procedures.
