    Abstract The facial nerve is the 7th cranial nerve and carries nerve fibers which control facial movement and expression. This nerve also carries fibers that are involved for the production of taste from the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue and tears from the lacrimal gland. Facial asymmetry is a debilitating condition to treat, and over the years, different techniques have been devised for improving facial asymmetry and function. Dual nerve transfer is the combination of hypoglossal nerve transfer and massetric nerve transfer. This technique is proven to correct facial asymmetry and helps restore facial tone without affecting much of tongue functionality. This case report helps understand the effectiveness of facial reanimation that was conducted on a patient with Grade VI facial nerve paralysis and follow-up after 6 months postsurgery shows drastic change in the outcome.

    Abstract Background: Vascular injury during spinal surgery is a dreaded complication associated with high morbidity and mortality. Repositioning the patient following such an injury could result in significant time delays and haemorrhage. Endovascular repair via popliteal access has never previously been described in the literature. A novel prone thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) technique is described here as a safe alternative to manage vascular injury during posterior spinal surgery.
    Case description: Here we describe a 63-year-old male where endovascular repair of vascular injury to the aorta by intercostal artery avulsion was performed via popliteal artery access in the prone position during T11
    Conclusions: TEVAR placement via this novel popliteal access route was able to halt the haemorrhage allowing stabilisation of the patient and completion of the spinal procedure. Clinical teams should be made aware this is a viable technique to address vascular injuries during spinal surgery.

    Abstract The Indian Pangolin, Manis crassicaudata is a nocturnal, elusive, sparsely distributed, poorly studied and rapidly declining species. The stomach contents of a female Indian Pangolin were analysed from a road kill specimen collected from the South Wayanad Forest Division in Kerala on September 2013 and confirms that they are myrmecophagous, i.e., feeding primarily on ants and ant eggs. The morphometry of the head and position of the eye in the head was used to identify the ant species consumed, which was found to be exclusively Leptogenys sp. with head size of one to two millimeter. Since the abundance of the ant species was not available, the preference could not be determined. Rather, our preliminary survey in the area revealed that Leptogenys sp. is the most abundant in the tropical moist deciduous forest of Wayanad, Kerala. The soft parts of the ant body were digested while only the heads remained in the stomach content. Similarly, only hard egg shells could be identified from the content. The major proportion of the stomach content was grit (50%), both in frequency and biomass. Ant head constituted higher biomass (41.3%) and lower frequency (22.5%) whereas ant egg shells were found in higher number (29%) with a low biomass (1.8%). The present observation gives insight into ant species selection and biomass contribution. Though the biomass of ant head was higher, its contribution to the Indian Pangolin nutrient intake is unknown. Further research is needed to better understand the diet of the Indian Pangolin.
