لا يوجد اي فائدة من استخدام الحزام لمرضى الجنف (scoliosis) بعد اكتمال نمو العمود الفقري. إذا عندك جنف استشر جراح عمود فقري متخصص في المجال قبل ان تهدر أموالك.

Can epilepsy surgery halt - or even reverse - cognitive decline in children? 🧠👶

To answer this, we studied long-term neuropsychological trajectories before and after epilepsy surgery.

Honoured to have this published in @Brain1878

أتمنى أن ينال على إعجابكم و ان أحظى بملاحظاتكم الثمينة لأطوره بشكل أكبر.

a project I’ve been working on for a long time and I hope that you give it a try and give me your valuable feedback on.

Currently it encompasses 34 different scales in neurosurgery and the number is going up. 👨🏻‍💻

Great anatomic tips for T1 freehand pedicle screw technique @CAS_Spine published now @NeurosurgeryCNS: Midpoint of C7 Lateral Mass Serves as an Accurate Reference for T1 screws. I use a similar technique allowing T1 to easily line up with cervical screws.

What are the key, practical alignment parameters in cervical spinal deformity surgery? Hope colleagues find this brief review on this topic helpful. https://t.co/bXT7II5cwf

Honoured to "officially" assume leadership of the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences (#CJNS @JournalCJNS @CNSFNeuroLinks ) with my inaugural editorial (https://t.co/lGXcMnKcBB) in the latest issue (https://t.co/9ykF7tbvXZ)

[Saleh Baeesa, MD, FRCSC @Saleh_BaeesaMD]

Pedicle substraction osteotomy #PSO is a powerful technique in correcting rigid and severe TL spine deformity.
Each osteotomy tool will do the job, but IMO, I found less time, blood loss, and complications with using an ultrasonic bone scalpel.

With this transformative support from @yyc_health we can help patients recover faster after spine surgery and be able to offer ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery options to patients.

This investment will lead to better patient care and research in spine surgery!

Ever wonder why corticosteroids like dexamethasone treat cerebral edema related to brain tumors?

I assumed the answer involved "anti-inflammatory effects", but there's much more going on.
