Automated placement of stereotactic injections using a laser scan of the skull [PDF]
Stereotactic targeting is a commonly used technique for performing injections in the brains of mice and other animals. The most common method for targeting stereoscopic injections uses the skull indentations bregma and lambda as reference points and is limited in its precision by factors such as skull curvature and individual variation, as well as an ...

In vivo evaluation of wearable head impact sensors [PDF]
Inertial sensors are commonly used to measure human head motion. Some sensors have been validated with dummy or cadaver experiments, but methods to evaluate sensors in vivo are lacking. Here we present an in vivo method using high speed video to evaluate teeth-mounted (mouthguard), soft tissue-mounted (skin patch), and headgear-mounted (skull cap ...

Primary Non-Hodgkin's Malignant Lymphoma of the Sinonasal Tract [PDF]
Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) of the sinonasal tract are rather uncommon entities. Morphologically and radiographically, sinonasal lymphomas are difficult to distinguish from other malignant neoplasms or non- neoplastic processes.

Natural History of Acute Subdural Hematoma [PDF]
Although guidelines for surgical decision-making in patients with acute subdural hematomas (ASDHs) are widely available, the evidence supporting these guidelines is weak, and management of these patients must often be individualized.

Bone fusion in normal and pathological development is constrained by the network architecture of the human skull [PDF]
The premature fusion of cranial bones, craniosynostosis, affects the correct development of the skull producing morphological malformations in newborns. To assess the susceptibility of each craniofacial articulation to close prematurely, we used a network model of the skull to quantify the link reliability (an index based on stochastic block modeling ...

Intracranial transplantation of the tumor induced by adenovirus type 12 in Syrian hamster--an experimental brain tumor model [PDF]
A method of intracranial transplantation of the tumor induced by adenovirus type 12 in syrian hamster has been described. The incidence of intracranial tumor development was 86 (90.5 %) out of 95 animals and the average survival time and tumor size at ...

Skull base chordomas review of current treatment paradigms
Background: Chordomas are locally invasive neoplasms, arising from notochordal remnants and can appear anywhere along the axial skeleton. Local recurrences are common, and distant metastases may occur years after the initial presentation.

Research on mouse brain tissue optical model based on Monte Carlo [PDF]
We studied the transmission of photons in mouse brain in both with and without intact skull states using Monte Carlo method. Photon track, optical absorption density and fluence rate were used as indicators for analysis. We found that, the photon distribution without intact skull goes farther in both longitudinal and transverse directions compared with

Heterogeneous Angular Spectrum Approach for Trans-skull Imaging and Focusing [PDF]
Ultrasound, alone or in concert with circulating microbubble contrast agents, has emerged as a promising modality for therapy and imaging of brain diseases. While this has become possible due to advancements in aberration correction methods, a range of applications, including adaptive focusing and tracking of the microbubble dynamics through the human ...
