ANEMIA affects the heart by impairing the oxygen supply of the myocardium and by increasing the mechanical load on the heart through alterations in the circulatory dynamics.

Abstract A 14-year-old boy presented with left preauricular painless swelling of 10 months' duration. Local examination revealed a 3 × 2-cm, firm, nodular, nonmobile mass in the area, just front tragus. Fine needle aspiration yielded paucicellular smears comprising singly scattered histiocyte/myofibroblast-like spindle cells and occasional giant cells. It was reported as benign mesenchymal lesi...

We aim to describe the technical details of the transzygomatic approach to intracranial surgery. The incision begins at the level of the inferior border of the zygomatic arch, anterior to the tragus, and extends towards the contralateral pupillary line. A subgaleal and interfascial dissection is performed. Then, the zygomatic arch is vertically sectioned twice and mobilized downwards, together ...
