Read & share this beautiful, inspiring story in today’s The Washington Post about an ALS researcher at UC San Francisco who was diagnosed with #ALS. It seems like “’the universe is playing a cruel joke on us,’” says Dr. Rahul Desikan. wapo.st/2MspEe7 #ALSResearch #ALSAwareness

Congrats to our neurosurgery chief residents on their last day of residency! Could not be prouder of Drs. Breshears, Osorio, Rutkowski, and Southwell for their many accomplishments & contributions to our program. 🧠🎓🎉

"I never said she stole *my* money" has a different connotation than "I never said she stole my *money*." In fact, the sentence has seven different meanings, depending on which word you stress. Cool, right? Neuroscientists think so, too wired.trib.al/2zpvUZw

Fun morning talking about endovascular neurosurgery with a fantastic group of residents - UCSF!

Congrats to our graduating chief residents Darryl Lau, Stephen Magill MD, PhD & Caleb Rutledge (Caleb Rutledge)!! 🎓🎉 We also thank Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who had a special surprise message for them at their virtual graduation this past weekend. Watch the full video here: instagram.com/p/CBg5uIlFHyK/

We use 4D-flow MRI cerebral vasoreactivity testing to illustrate the underlying pathophysiology of Moyamoya disease and reveal the intracranial flow changes that occur following surgical bypass: UCSF Neurosurgery CU Radiology UCSF Imaging onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/D…

I’m really proud of this paper, supported by National Cancer Institute—took an awesome team RaleighLab, especially Harish Vasudevan, Kyounghee Seo, and Stephanie Hilz. It was so much work, but worth it to try to keep pushing towards better understanding and treatment for recurrent #meningioma.

New in Neurosurgery Publications: UC San Francisco chief of vascular neurosurgery Adib Abla, MD, Caleb Rutledge & team present a novel trans-quadrangular lobule approach for resection of brainstem cavernous malformations in the upper pons. academic.oup.com/ons/advance-ar…

We need better treatment strategies for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis, particularly those with hypoperfusion who are likely to fail medical treatment. STA-MCA appears to be safe in such patients in this small case series. Erez Nossek Eytan Raz academic.oup.com/ons/advance-ar…

Can AI help to better predict who will develop vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage, or perhaps equally importantly, who will NOT? We think so, and thanks to NINDSfunding for believing we can, as well. @ionita_n MaxMokinMD Adnan H. Siddiqui, MD UB Neurosurgery (UBNS)

New research on enhancing #MoyaMoya post-op monitoring: "Immediate Postoperative Electroencephalography Monitoring in Pediatric Moyamoya Disease and Syndrome" sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Authors include: resident Anna Huguenard MD, Dave Limbrick, MD, PhD Jennifer Strahle, MD Gregory Zipfel Test Account

A spectacular innovation. Now we can tell the ER doc seeing the hydrocephalic with a cold "it's not the miniature biomimetic transdural shunt"
