Summary: Chemical senses play a crucial role in the survival of wild mammals. This study focuses on the neuroanatomical basis of the olfactory and accessory olfactory bulbs in meerkats. The results suggest that meerkats have a well-defined accessory olfactory bulb lamination pattern and a comparable level of development in the main olfactory bulb compared to other mammals. This study supports the functionality of the olfactory and vomeronasal integrative centers in meerkats and provides important information for understanding their chemical senses.

Summary: This article reports a rare case of complete spinal accessory nerve injury after core needle biopsy, which was treated with sural nerve grafting. Prompt surgical intervention is necessary for iatrogenic spinal accessory nerve injuries, and appropriate surgical repair methods can be selected based on the mechanism and type of injury.

Summary: This study found that phrenic nerve (PN) atrophy is related to respiratory function and 12-month survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Vagus nerve (VN) and spinal accessory nerve (AN) atrophy were unrelated to nonmotor symptoms in ALS. Ultrasonography can be used to detect degeneration of cranial nerve motor fibers, and PN and AN calibers are tightly related to respiratory function and 1-year survival in ALS.

Summary: The study analyzed the presence of accessory canals of the canalis sinuosus in Chinese patients and found a high prevalence in the anterior maxilla, with a correlation to anterior maxillary volume. Surgeons operating in the anterior maxilla should be cautious of these accessory canals starting below the buccal cortical bone and being located closer to the alveolar crest in certain areas.

Summary: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Surgical management is more effective for moderate to severe and severe CTS. Knowledge of normal anatomy and variations can improve the success rate of surgery. This study aims to present different accessory muscles diagnosed during CTS surgery through a systematic review of the literature and a case presentation.

Summary: The membrane-associated accessory protein (MAAP) is identified as a novel viral egress factor that promotes the secretion of AAV serotypes. MAAP contains a cationic amphipathic domain critical for AAV secretion. Restoring MAAP expression can rescue the secretion defect in various AAV serotypes with mutated start sites.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical features of juvenile penile LS in children with foreskin, and the results showed that there were immune reactions and cell proliferation in the LS tissue. Radical circumcision should be the first choice of treatment for pediatric patients with LS suspicion to prevent potential risk of SCC transformation in adulthood.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of EMG biofeedback on scapular positions and muscle activities during scapular-focused exercises in oral cancer patients. The results show that biofeedback significantly improves scapular symmetry, shoulder mobility, muscle strength, and upper extremity function in these patients.

Summary: Research reveals that the large GTPase dynamin 2 does not mediate caveolae fission from the plasma membrane, as previously thought. Instead, dynamin 2 associates with a subset of caveolae and restrains their presence on the plasma membrane via a GTPase-independent mechanism.

Summary: Anxiety and epilepsy have a complex bidirectional relationship, where a depressive/anxious condition can trigger seizures and vice versa. Different anxious profiles may influence epileptogenesis, with differences in anxiety interfering with findings in some brain regions. Additionally, animals that do not develop status epilepticus after pilocarpine injection show behavioral and neuroanatomical alterations, indicating its importance in studying the heterogeneity of epileptogenic response.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the treatment methods for non-Chronic-rhinosinusitis-related anosmia/hyposmia. The methods for treating this condition include intranasal corticosteroids and olfactory training. However, further research is still needed to expand the treatment options for this condition.

Summary: This study explores the potential impact of a new navigation system with virtual reality (VR) functionality on the successful balloon sinus dilation (BSD) of the maxillary sinus. Using a cadaveric evaluation, it was found that VR navigation improves the accuracy of cannulating the natural ostium during maxillary BSD, potentially leading to better outcomes.

Summary: This study aims to measure the patency of the sphenoid and frontal sinus ostia postoperatively. The research found that both the sphenoid and frontal sinus ostia routinely narrow postoperatively, primarily from baseline to 3 months, and there is no significant change from 3 to 6 months postoperatively.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of gender on the clinical outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The results show that females with CRS have more severe symptoms both before and 5 years after surgery compared to males. The gender-related differences persist even after adjusting for various factors.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of modifiable risk factors on the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing surgical resection of their acoustic neuroma. It was found that malnutrition performed best in predicting nonroutine discharge, while models using malnutrition, obesity, and smoking performed well in predicting readmission. The study suggests that these risk factors may complicate the perioperative course of patients.

Summary: An adolescent male with orthostatic headaches and head trauma was diagnosed with cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistula (CVF) confirmed by digital subtraction myelography (DSM). CVFs cause uncontrolled flow of CSF into the venous system, resulting in intracranial hypotension. This case is the first reported CVF in the central skull base and the first treated via endoscopic trans-nasal approach. DSM is crucial for identifying CVFs that may evade initial imaging in cases of unexplained spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
