You’re not a failure

New publication, where we review the literature for the use of Antifibrinolytics during surgery for oncological spine diseases.🩸💉 🔹We found that TXA diminished blood loss. 🔹There was not an increased risk for DVT/PE Full Link (free): surgicalneurologyint.com/surgicalint-ar… #Spine #Oncology

I do love spinal cord syndromes. BRAINSTEM syndromes on the other hand... 🙃🤯 Great NeuroRadiology thread as always! Beautiful MRI examples.

Teamwork, always trying to help our medical students with their projects, this one took some extra time… Back then Michael was a UA College of Medicine – Tucson Med Student he is now a PGY-3 neurosurgery resident UT Neurosurgery ! #Aneurysm #MedEd #Vascular 🔹Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Seen at the physicians’ lounge. 🐈‍⬛😅

Revision cases in spine often requires to look back at the history of interbody fusions. #Spine #orthotwitter #Neurosurgery

Nice to see JAMA helping spread the data about how to help us mitigate risk factors for surgical site infection. Very important to include all healthcare members involved with the patient (pre and postOp) to have a successful outcome. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

As I am preparing a new submission this applies again:

Nurses! ❤️❤️

This was a big announcement last week in the Spine World. Mergers are tricky. My hope, this will continue to drive innovation for the benefit of our patients. #Spine #Ortho

Beautiful cover. Always in awe with the multiple talents in Medicine.

Great project led by James one of our Med Students. Pedro (PGY-5) is passionate about #vascular neurosurgery and I like spine. We found that surgery yields better outcomes for Spinal AVM and fistulas vs. endovascular treatment. #Spine #Neurosurgery sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Vamos Colombia!! 🇨🇴 Villegas, Muñoz and now Echevarria.

Congratulations to all those that matched! #Match2023. For those that didn’t, please don’t let this define you. Many of those who have ‘made it’ tripped and fell (and continue to do so) on their way to success.

So proud of Angelica! 💪🏼🧠

Although #intraop fluoroscopy is highly effective, it's important to consider the long-term effects of exposure to radiation on our eyes and hands throughout our careers. #radiationsafety #healthcare AANS/CNS Spine Section Penn Neurosurgery @hsacahmad

New on the NEJM coffee effects on young adults (avg age was 39). Less sleep 💤 and more premature ventricular contractions! But coffee drinkers took more daily steps 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️.More and more common to use cellphone gps data for research. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Always simple explanations but full of content. A key reminder of the angle of the foramen in the cervical spine vs. Lumbar spine.
