Happy to share the next article in our #Chordoma study series published in Journal of Neurosurgery Using the SEER database, we found unclear benefit of radiotherapy after achieving GTR in spinal chordoma Link: tinyurl.com/44dttcb2 Julian Gendreau Cathleen Kuo Yusuf Sachiv Chakravarti

In Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Maureen Rakovec+ describe the use of tubular #retractors to access deep brain lesions This approach may facilitate safe #biopsy or #resection of deep-seated intracranial pathologies with low rates of peri-op complications NICONeuroCorp Link: tinyurl.com/3ddhsdjz

Recently published in World Neurosurgery Journal, we describe the current state of neuromodulation clinical trials for SCI Most current clinical trials involve transcutaneous spinal stimulation, epidural electrical stimulation and tibial nerve stimulation Link: tinyurl.com/4wjep8nd

Happy to share our recent literature review in Neurospine Journal suggesting that 3-dimensional printed porous titanium (3D-pTi) interbodies may have superior lumbar fusion outcomes when compared to PEEK cages without increasing subsidence or re-op Link: tinyurl.com/5en48fec

Here in #ClinicalNeurologyandNeurosurgery, Adham Khalafallah, MD+ introduces a new #socioeconomic educational intervention for improving socioeconomic knowledge among #neurosurgery trainees. Read more here! tinyurl.com/md557ssz Sachiv Chakravarti Tito Porras Cathleen Kuo Adrian Jimenez

Thank you Aaron Cohen-Gadol, MD for supporting and guiding our work on this study. Congratulations colleagues Julian Gendreau Yusuf Cathleen Kuo Ben Abraham Sachiv Chakravarti thejns.org/view/journals/…

Thank you Journal of Neurosurgery for highlighting our study showing evidence that rates of VTE may not increase with administration of #TXA in intracranial meningioma resection surgery!

Here in World Neurosurgery Journal, Adrian Jimenez+ performed a retrospective study of 263 #glioblastoma patients They show the hospital frailty risk score effectively predicts extended hospital length of stay, non routine discharges and 30 day readmission Great work! #tumor #MedX

Happy to share our recent study published Journal of Neurosurgery! Here, we found that recommendations for #surgery appeared to be unaffected by patient sex, race or income status in patients with intramedullary spinal cord #tumors Great work from our medical student #MeganParker! #spine

In this study published Journal of Neuro-Oncology by Sachiv Chakravarti+, we find that PROMIS-29 PH summary scores may be predictive of increased hospital LOS, non routine discharges and 30-day readmission outcomes in #braintumor patients Great work!

Check out our new survey by Adrian Jimenez + assessing QOL outcomes in #Chordoma patients! We find that younger survivors, female survivors, and survivors currently undergoing treatment for chordoma are at high risk for adverse #QOL outcomes Great work!

Here, in Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Adrian Jimenez+ provide evidence that the hospital frailty risk score (HFRS) may be superior to other frailty scores in predicting complications and non-routine discharges in patients undergoing surgery for #meningioma Columbia Neurosurgery

Check out this recently published paper World Neurosurgery Journal by Sachiv Chakravarti+ of a retrospective review of 2,389 patients undergoing surgery for intracranial tumor They found the distress communities index (DCI) may be a holistic tool for predicting 90-day mortality Great work!

Here in Neurosurgery Publications, we provide evidence that radiotherapy, chemotherapy and gross total resection may improve survival outcomes in very elderly patients (>=80 years of age) treated for #Glioblastoma Great work Julian Gendreau and team!

Recently, #MelanieHorowitz+ utilized the SEER database to measure outcomes in very elderly (>=80 years of age) patients with #glioblastoma She provides evidence that #surgery, #radiotherapy and #chemotherapy may continue to provide a survival advantage in this patient population

In this study, Maureen Rakovec+ assessed 600 #glioblastoma patients treated at a single institution They found that Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) scores may be able to predict increased length of stay, non-home discharges and readmission Great work! Journal of Clinical Neuroscience

Here, Foad Kazemi+ describe the results of the Peace Education Program we implemented for healthcare professionals and staff. This 10-week online wellness course was shown to improve #wellness scores of participants and may be used at other medical centers to improve wellness!

Tang et al Johns Hopkins Neurosurgery demonstrated GTR of atypical meningiomas provides survival advantage in both elderly and very elderly cohorts and adjuvant radiotherapy improves this response in the very elderly Read more: ow.ly/JjFA50Ucbvc

In this article, Foad Kazemi+ used the Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status (NSES) Index to assess high-value care outcomes after #glioblastoma surgery Poorer NSES scores were associated with longer LOS, non-routine discharges and non-compliance with Stupp protocol Journal of Neuro-Oncology

Here in Journal of Neurosurgery , #LindaTang+ performed a retrospective study using the National Cancer Database of patients with atypical #meningioma They found that additional time between diagnosis and #surgery is associated with increased risk of #mortality after adjusting for confounders
