I'm hosting a Personal Statement/Cover letter workshop for our trainees applying to fellowship. Crowdsourcing ideas here - what do you think makes a great PS for res&fellowships? What to avoid? ⛳?? #neurotwitter #nmatch

Frogs start as tadpoles. MCA infarcts often start in the lenticulostriates & look like a tadpole! Why does the caudate infarct w/the lentiform when its supply is Heubner (ACA)? It’s also fed by medial MCA lenticulostriates—so it’s the tadpole head! #neurotwitter #meded #stroke

My thoughts on the phase 3 results of Alzheimer's drug lecanemab from Biogen and Eisai, presented at #CTAD #CTAD22 and published this evening in the NEJM. Major takeaway – this is NOT the breakthrough we have been waiting for. Key points:

ChatGPT could be of enormous benefit to physicians. However, there are serious ethical considerations. A 🧵 with examples of AI-generated: • Letter to insurance • Personal statement • Letter of recommendation • Patient educational letter • Review article & much more

4 RCTs published in the last few hours you can’t miss if you work with critically ill patients: #1 Fluids in septic shock #2 Mobilisation and long-term cognitive impairment #3 NIV for extubation of obese patients #4 Nutrition before extubation A thread 🧵👇 #FOAMcc #SCCM2023

I think often about the TRANSLATION GAP - the ways that state-of-the-art brain science does not enter clinical discourse, practice, & education. MAJOR MISCONCEPTUALIZATIONS of Functional Neurological Disorder by PHYSICIANS point this out. #FND Brain Science: "The Basics". 1/20

Heads-up, folks! July 1 is almost here🚨meaning be prepared for an influx of energetic, very intelligent, highly motivated medical professionals & enhanced supervision by highly conscientious and attentive senior residents & attendings. #MedTwitter #MedEd Miya Bernson-Leung MD, EdM Joshua Kornbluth

Neurology: Education is seeking a resident or fellow to serve a 1-yr term as an Editorial Board member. Residents from accredited neurology training programs anywhere in the world are invited to apply. Applications due August 11: bit.ly/43leLBl #NeurologyEd #NeuroEd

Great work by the brilliant Columbia NeuroCriticalCare group led by my good friend jan claassen They have identified critical patterns on MRI and cEEG that can help us identify cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) — unresponsive patients who understand and try to follow commands — but can’t

Just presented at WSC, ANNEXa-I trial shows that in patients with DOAC associated ICH, Andaxenat (compared to standard of care) improved homeostasis but increased thrombotic events and no benefit in 90-day mRS was seen. #stroke

Great update on #braindeath by American Academy of Neurology David Greer Matt Kirschen Lori Shutter Eelco F.M.Wijdicks,MD,PhD and others. I agree wholeheartedly with the updates. Here are some takeaways:

Congrats to Diamler Vadlamuri for receiving a Tufts Medical Center Wellness Grant for his project “A Holistic Approach to Promoting Well-being Amongst Residents within the Tufts Medical Center Department of Neurology”!

“A call to action…for Code ICH, similar to… management of acute ischemic stroke, through which early intervention, bundled care, and time-based metrics have substantially improved neurological outcomes.” #code-ich code-ICH.org ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

We are recruiting a *neurocritical care fellow* to start in July 2024! If you or someone else you know is looking for highly educational, collegial NCC training program, please PM us! Tufts Medical Center Joshua Kornbluth Sasha Yakhkind Sarah Nelson, MD, MPH, FAAN, FNCS #xuemeicai

5 key points from the paper “Code-ICH: A New Paradigm for Emergency Intervention” by Aleksandra Yakhkind, W Yu, Q Li, JN Goldstein and Stephan A Mayer 1.🧠⏰ Urgency in ICH Treatment: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treatment needs the same urgency as ischemic strokes. Early
