Summary: This study evaluated the use and outcomes of the endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) in the surgery of trigeminal schwannoma. The results showed that ETOA was effective in achieving tumor resection in the majority of cases. In some cases where ETOA was not sufficient, other surgical methods can be combined for treatment.

Summary: This study reviewed the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial chondrosarcoma at three centers over the past 12 years. It was found that intracranial chondrosarcoma lacks typical imaging features and is difficult to differentiate from other skull base lesions. Maximizing tumor resection while minimizing neurological function damage remains the most important treatment strategy.

Summary: This study reviewed the authors' surgical experience with radical temporal bone resection, proposing a new classification for the osteotomy line and emphasizing the importance of transcranial tympanotomy (TCT) in middle ear transection. The study found that the newly proposed classification is suitable for adjusting the osteotomy line, and TCT is essential for M1 osteotomy during radical TBR.

Summary: The Internet of Medical Things combines IoT with medical equipment to improve patient comfort, provide cost-effective medical solutions, and enable personalized healthcare. This paper presents the application of a support value based deep neural network (SDNN) in e-Health care for the early detection and accurate classification of brain cancer cells. Experimental results show that our proposed SDNN approach achieves an accuracy of 94.30%, outperforming other existing methods.

Summary: This study collected normally discarded parietal bone tissue from pediatric craniosynostosis surgery patients for microstructural analysis and mechanical testing. The results showed significant differences in mechanical properties between pediatric skull tissue and adult skull tissue, indicating the need to reevaluate current pediatric cranial surgical technologies.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of adult sutures and different bone compositions on EEG-FP and inverse problem solutions. Results showed that modeling the skull as an inhomogeneous layer is crucial for accurate calculations, as deviations in skull conductivity can lead to significant errors in EEG research and clinical diagnosis.

Summary: The aim of this study is to test whether sex prediction can be made using machine learning algorithms with parameters taken from CT images of the cranium and mandible skeleton. The highest prediction accuracy was achieved with the LR algorithm, which accurately predicted the sex of individuals using CT image parameters with high accuracy.

Summary: Currently, there is no comprehensive understanding of the dominant possible injury mechanisms under multi-axial stress states and rates, so skull fracture could serve as an indication of head injury. Using finite element simulation to predict the initiation of skull fracture can help assess the effectiveness of different head protection scenarios.

Summary: The study aimed to differentiate meningiomas from malignant dural-based tumors by evaluating the rim-enhancement pattern on contrast-enhanced FLAIR and MR imaging characteristics. The results showed that complete rim enhancement on contrast-enhanced FLAIR was present in a significantly higher frequency in meningiomas compared to malignant dural-based tumors. Therefore, the rim-enhancement pattern could serve as a robust predictive sign for diagnosing meningiomas.

Summary: The classification of SNC is challenging, and the prediction of prognosis and chemoradiosensitivity is often unreliable. Reorganizing clinicopathological information can improve the reliability of prognosis, but further research is needed for the prediction of chemoradiosensitivity.

Summary: Phenotypic variation in mammals is influenced by their ecological diversification, with the skull playing a crucial role in supporting species survival. Sutures between cranial bones are important in growth and brain development, shaping overall skull morphology and function. The developmental mechanisms of sutures have a significant impact on cranial diversity and evolutionary patterns.
