Congratulations to Dr Simard and colleagues for their elegant paper in Journal of Neurotrauma online this week about a new model of temporal lobe contusion. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39302058/

Honored to be the first Canadian #Neurosurgery graduate to repeat training in the U.S. for American board certification. Forever indebted to BarrowNeurological, Dr. Spetzler, Peter Nakaji MD, Michael T. Lawton, MD. Grateful to my wife, parents, and siblings for their support.

This morning University of Maryland, Baltimore and Univ. of Maryland are announcing a $10M gift to open the Edward & Jennifer St. John Center for Translational Engineering and Medicine at our new 4MLK building in the UM BioPark. Follow for updates for more information.

Congrats to Riccardo Serra, PGY5, for being awarded the 2024 $100,000 UMMC Innovation Challenge Award for his “Novel Ventricular Catheter for Drainage of  Intraventricular Hemorrhage” project. Well done! elm.umaryland.edu/elm-stories/20…

Ultrasonic brain interface might be the next frontier. Science Translational Medicine study showed it was possible to measure widespread brain activity using ultrasound through an acoustically transparent skull window, implanted during a reconstructive skull surgery after trauma. Example of

Reversible opening of blood-brain barrier is here. NEJM study showed that low-intensity focused ultrasound can temporarily open the blood-brain barrier to augment antibody-based removal of amyloid plaque in patients with Alzheimer’s disease by up to 63%. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

I am very proud to be part of the amazing team of researchers, scientists and clinicians who are all co-authors of the important research publication just released in Nature Medicine. The paper documents changes in my brain tumour & blood before and after I received neoadjuvant
