The parietal notch (Brammer's pointer): Accuracy of a surface landmark for temporal bone surgery. [PDF]
Abstract Hypothesis The parietal notch is a reliable surface landmark of the sigmoid sinus at the sinodural angle. Background Currently no surface landmark approximates the anterior border of the sigmoid sinus. Additionally, the temporal line may not accurately identify the tegmen near the sinodural angle.

The Significance of Subperiosteal Abscess Volume in Acute Mastoiditis. [PDF]
Both needle aspiration and I&D are safe methods to reduce the infective and inflammatory load of subperiosteal abscess due to acute mastoiditis and provide pus for culture. Higher volumes (~3 cm3 and more) should be managed initially with cortical mastoidectomy since the risk of no improvement following needle aspiration or I&D is higher.

ABSTRACT Pre‐Miocene, stem odontocetes are known for their procumbent incisors and their function has been the subject of much speculation. Notable among these were Waipatia and several related taxa from New Zealand. Though some studies hypothesise the function of these teeth was for thrusting, the here described Aureia rerehua has unique teeth which ...
