  • Induction and Specification of Cranial Placodes ⁎ Gerhard Schlosser
    Developmental Biology 294 (2006) 303–351 www.elsevier.com/locate/ydbio Review Induction and specification of cranial placodes ⁎ Gerhard Schlosser Brain Research Institute, AG Roth, University of Bremen, FB2, PO Box 330440, 28334 Bremen, Germany Received for publication 6 October 2005; revised 22 December 2005; accepted 23 December 2005 Available online 3 May 2006 Abstract Cranial placodes are specialized regions of the ectoderm, which give rise to various sensory ganglia and contribute to the pituitary gland and sensory organs of the vertebrate head. They include the adenohypophyseal, olfactory, lens, trigeminal, and profundal placodes, a series of epibranchial placodes, an otic placode, and a series of lateral line placodes. After a long period of neglect, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in placode induction and specification. There is increasing evidence that all placodes despite their different developmental fates originate from a common panplacodal primordium around the neural plate. This common primordium is defined by the expression of transcription factors of the Six1/2, Six4/5, and Eya families, which later continue to be expressed in all placodes and appear to promote generic placodal properties such as proliferation, the capacity for morphogenetic movements, and neuronal differentiation. A large number of other transcription factors are expressed in subdomains of the panplacodal primordium and appear to contribute to the specification of particular subsets of placodes. This review first provides a brief overview of different cranial placodes and then synthesizes evidence for the common origin of all placodes from a panplacodal primordium. The role of various transcription factors for the development of the different placodes is addressed next, and it is discussed how individual placodes may be specified and compartmentalized within the panplacodal primordium.

  • Surgery in the Multimodality Treatment of Sinonasal Malignancies
    Surgery in the Multimodality Treatment of Sinonasal Malignancies alignancies of the paranasal sinuses represent a rare and biologi- cally heterogeneous group of cancers. Understanding of tumor M biology continues to evolve and will likely facilitate the develop- ment of improved treatment strategies. For example, some sinonasal tumors may benefit from treatment through primarily nonsurgical ap- proaches, whereas others are best addressed through resection. The results of clinical trials in head and neck cancer may not be generalizable to this heterogeneous group of lesions, which is defined anatomically rather than through histogenesis. Increasingly sophisticated pathologic assessments and the elucidation of molecular markers, such as the human papilloma virus (HPV), in sinonasal cancers have the potential to transform the clinical management of these malignant neoplasms. Published reports often suggest that treatment approaches that include surgery result in better local control and survival. However, many studies are marked by selection bias. The availability of effective reconstruction makes increas- ingly complex procedures possible, with improved functional outcomes. With advances in surgery and radiation, the multimodal treatment of paranasal sinus cancers is becoming safer. The use of chemotherapy remains a subject of active investigation. Introduction Sinonasal malignancies, a highly heterogeneous group of cancers, account for less than 1% of all cancers and less than 3% of all upper aerodigestive tract tumors. These lesions may originate from any of the histopathologic components of the sinonasal cavities, including Schnei- derian mucosa, minor salivary glands, neural tissue, and lymphatics. Sixty percent of sinonasal tumors arise in the maxillary sinus, whereas approximately 20% arise in the nasal cavity, 5% in the ethmoid sinuses, and 3% in the sphenoid and frontal sinuses.

It is divided by one or more vertical septa that are often asymmetric. Because of its location and the relationships with important neurovascular and glandular structures, sphenoid sinus represents a great diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the septation of the sphenoid sinus and relationship between the number and position of septa and internal carotid artery in the adult BH population. Participants and Methods: A retrospective study of the CT analysis of the paranasal sinuses in 200 patients (104 male, 96 female) were performed using Siemens Somatom Art with the following parameters: 130 mAs: 120 kV, Slice: 3 mm.

  • A Forensic Case Report
    Skeletonized body identified by analysis of frontal sinus morphology and characteristics of osteosynthesis material: a forensic case report Rhonan Ferreira-Silva1, Andréa Pinheiro de- Abreu Meirelles2, Isabela Machado3, Lívia Graziele Rodrigues4, Roberta Gomes-Resende5, Alicia Picapedra6, Carlos Sassi7 DOI: 10.22592/ode2018n31a10 Abstract Forensic dentistry is essential for the identification of highly decomposed and charred bodies, as well as skeletal remains. This study reports a case of human identification by analyzing the morphology of the frontal sinuses and osteosynthesis material. In the anthropological assess- ment of skeletal remains a surgical plate used for osteosynthesis was detected in the periorbital regions. Relatives of the potential victim provided ante-mortem (AM) radiographs which re- vealed the presence of an osteosynthesis plate. Post-mortem (PM) imaging exams were per- formed to reproduce the AM data. Similarities were observed between the AM and PM radio- graphs, especially regarding the morphology of the frontal sinuses and the position and outline of the surgical plate used for osteosynthesis. The comparison of AM and PM images made it possible to identify the victim and to aid the criminal investigation. It also highlighted the role of radiographs and anatomical characteristics in the process of human identification.

  • Maxillary Sinus (Antrum of Higmore)
    Maxillary Sinus (Antrum of Higmore) The maxillary sinus is a pneumatic space. It is the largest bilateral air sinus located in the body of the maxilla and opens in the middle nasal meatus of the nasal cavity with single or multiple openings. Development: The maxillary sinuses are the only sizable sinuses present at birth. At birth they have the size of a small lima bean measuring about 8X4 mm, and are situated with their longer dimension directed anteriorly and posteriorly. They develop at the third month of intrauterine life, in the place existing between the oral cavity and the floor of the orbit. They develop as evagination of the mucous membrane of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity at the level of the middle nasal meatus forming a minute space that expands primarily in an inferior direction into the primordium of the maxilla. The maxillary sinus enlarges variably and greatly by pneumatization until it reaches the adult size by the eruption of the permanent teeth. Enlargement of the maxillary sinus is consequent to facial growth. Growth of the sinus slows down with decline of facial growth during puberty but continues throughout life. Anatomy: The maxillary sinus varies greatly in size, shape and position not only in different individuals but also in different sides of the same individual. It is pyramidal in shape having a base, an apex and four walls: The base: lateral wall of the nasal cavity. The apex: directed laterally towards the zygomatic process of the maxilla. The four walls: Anterior wall: facial surface of the maxilla.
