Our new study done on 7,000+ #glioblastoma patients in Ontario found that where you live can impact survival —despite universal healthcare system. https://t.co/w3jFE1wgyq More work needed to improve #HealthEquity in cancer care. @acute_care_doc @annajdare @DanniDiestro @GreenJournal @UnityHealthTO @UofTNeuroSurge @MacNeurosurgery @McMasterSurgery

Pleased to share our work with @atomar_md of @MacNeurosurgery @GreenJournal: In Ontario, patients with glioblastoma from the most deprived neighborhoods had worse survival and were less likely to receive adjuvant treatment—despite universal health care. https://t.co/PnUaoRMH4N #healthequity #neurooncology

🧠 Presenting work with @atomar_md @MacNeurosurgery @SmhNeuroVasc Large database study showing lower risk of shunt dependent hydrocephalus in the endovascular arm vs open surgery for ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Published @JNIS_BMJ https://t.co/Jl6vWILdnY

@SmhNeuroVasc End of year party for our outgoing fellows Aruma @ARUOSHA Kevin @toobib3 Zamir @TheZamirMerali Onwards and upwards! 🚀 @trmarot @vitorpereiracan What a FUN night!!!

[Buddy Omar @atomar_md]

Hot off the press 📣@JNIS_BMJ, our study used the target trial approach to emulate the landmark ISAT with big data. Results suggest coiling may reduce risk of hydrocephalus vs clipping in aneurysmal #SAH. @MacNeurosurgery @UofTNeuroSurge @SmhNeuroVasc https://t.co/W5FvYHg8HC

🧠 Do you have aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients who remain debilitated with long-term neuropsychiatric outcomes despite successful aneurysm treatment and "good" functional outcomes? New review from @DanniDiestro @SmhNeuroVasc https://t.co/Al9BpzHuro @BAFOUND

[Dr. DiestroKE @DanniDiestro]

New from @JNIS_BMJ: https://t.co/10oQwQWY1d @CSC_Stroke @CanadianNeuroIR 🇨🇦CULVO study shows: 1) 1 in 5 decisions for late-window EVT will change with perfusion imaging vs without 2) Reliability of EVT decisions with or without perfusion imaging is not significantly different

INR Fellowship BFFs turned @uoftmedicine Assistant Professors are taking over San Francisco🌟 Shoutout to @CarmenPFarinas for being my ride or die since 2019! 🥰 #bffgoals #academicadventures @SmhNeuroVasc alums 🥳 @trmarot faves 😬

[Dr. DiestroKE @DanniDiestro]

Hot of the press! Our CULVO study protocol: https://t.co/vlCLnGsaBJ Planning a reliability study? We outline our study's stringent methodology in this publication. @AnassBenomarMD @atomar_md @vitorpereiracan @trmarot @CanadianNeuroIR Excited to share the actual results soon!

Had a wonderful time at the Cleveland Clinic skull base course in Florida.
The perfect event to mark the (almost) half way mark of the most wonderful fellowship with these incredibly talented surgeons and mentors.

Exciting news! This January, I'll be joining @UofTNeurology @SmhNeuroVasc as an Assistant Professor/Clinician Investigator in Neurointervention and Stroke Neurology. Grateful to @pghneuro @INR_CHUM @SmhNeuroVasc @HEI_mcmaster for the amazing training! 🇵🇭🧠 Onwards and upwards! 🚀

[Brain Aneurysm Foundation @BAFOUND]

BAF fuels groundbreaking research! We are proud to fund 17 projects on brain aneurysms. 16 yrs, $5M, 159 projects later, we're committed to reducing the prevalence and impact of brain aneurysms. Join us at our Annual Day of Engagement https://t.co/pBGyeuqqKp

@FilipinoSurgeon @UCSFSurgery Congrats, sir!

[Dr. DiestroKE @DanniDiestro]

My first editorial @JNIS_BMJ is out: https://t.co/Wqi574FFd8 Have a look and let me know your thoughts! Do we need perfusion imaging prior to performing endovascular thrombectomy in any time window? @SmhNeuroVasc @CanadianNeuroIR
