RAUMEDIC’s Post

In last week's episode of WNMU-TV PBS #AsktheDoctors, Elizabeth Hogan, MD, neurosurgery; Christopher Mehall, MD, interventional radiology and pain management; and Eric Sturos, MD, physical medicine and rehabilitation; joined host Jennifer Dehlin, MD, for a discussion related to the brain and spine. Specific topics discussed include options for reducing or eliminating back pain—from physical therapy to injections to surgery—and how advances in imaging technology are helping providers better treat patients, diagnosing and treating different types of brain tumors, brain aneurysms, and more. Watch the full episode here and thank you to these doctors for sharing their knowledge with our community: https://lnkd.in/e6f6YU3p #BrainHealth #SpineHealth #Neuroscience

Connectomics is the science studying the anatomical and functional connections of the brain. Over the last few years, it has been applied to neurosurgery, mainly to allow neurosurgeons to remove as much bulk of brain tumours as possible, preserving patients' function and cognition.   Prof. Di Ieva has been working on connectomics for more than a decade and was one of the first neurosurgeons in Australia to use it to allow maximal and supra-maximal resection of glioma in respect to patients' functional preservation and preserved quality of life.   The first case was performed at Macquarie University Hospital in 2022, in collaboration with MQN colleague Dr. Matthew Tait. The patient described in the article is still tumour free after 2 years, working normally, and still under only follow-up, repeating brain MRI every year. Since then, Prof. Di Ieva has advanced the field further, both from the research point of view and clinical point of view. Prof. Di Ieva is regularly invited to talk about his experience in the field to national and international conferences and workshops.   To read the full case click here -https://lnkd.in/g9gdmxqc #research #innovation #neurosurgery #mqn

Surgical fluorescence is utilized in vascular neurosurgery to assess the flow of both normal and pathological vessels, as well as in oncological neurosurgery to distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue. We have developed a series of Fluorescent Simulation Technologies designed to enhance learning curves in the utilization of these tools.

Here, I am sharing our newly published article in the Neurosurgery Journal (The Red Journal)! ·     The systematic review and meta-analysis examined the optimal timing for microsurgical treatment (MST) of ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations. ·     The study found that performing MST more than 48 hours after rupture significantly improved patient outcomes, with higher rates of favorable outcomes and lower mortality rates compared to MST performed within 48 hours. ·     Delaying surgical intervention beyond 48 hours leads to better clinical results for patients with ruptured bAVMs, regardless of whether preoperative endovascular treatment is used. ·     These findings support a more cautious approach, allowing time for the brain to recover from the initial hemorrhage before proceeding with MST.
