Matching implant mechanical characteristics to the target tissue is essential to creating a stable bioelectronic interface - materials science approaches offer a lot of promise in making long-term neural implants clinically viable buff.ly/2KzSuZj

Tenecteplase before thrombectomy offers improved rates of reperfusion and better functional outcomes with no increase in intracerebral haemorrhage compared with Alteplase. Treatment protocols continue to improve for these large-vessel strokes buff.ly/2FMq0YK via NEJM

Peripheral nerve injuries are frequently debilitating and often underserved - increasing options for nerve transfer techniques open new possibilities for restoring neurological function after trauma buff.ly/2jzreOn via Journal of Neurosurgery

Increasing investigation of the interactions between implants and tissues highlights the complexity of relationship between histology and electrophysiology. Improved integration with local tissues will be vital to allowing useful long-term recordings buff.ly/2jweuI4

And still only a tiny percentage of those that could benefit referred for surgical evaluation - need much greater appreciation of potential benefits in those not responding to medication x.com/epilepsyruk/st…

Despite strong evidence of efficacy, surgical treatment continues to be majorly under-utilised in the management of drug-resistant epilepsy. Misconceptions around the role of epilepsy surgery likely play a role in poor uptake of valuable treatment options buff.ly/2HS7GD9

Administration of supplemental oxygen to acutely ill patients with normal oxygen saturations may increase mortality across a range of conditions - will be interesting to see if this is borne out in ongoing prospective trials buff.ly/2rkobg7

Intermittent theta-burst magnetic stimulation offers similar efficacy to standard rTMS in treatment-resistant depression, with much shorter treatment sessions - may facilitate increased uptake of TMS treatment in resistant depression buff.ly/2HSFlNg
