Wordle today: Perfect timing! 🎻
Every orchestra needs a #viola section, which is why https://t.co/WAZFtKP2Fc developed the VIOLA-AI tool to support neuroradiology clinics and foster collaborative intracerebral hemorrhage research. Learn more while at @WorldStrokeOrg #WICH2023

ENRICH trial in @NEJM shows improved outcomes for lobar ICH treated with minimally invasive surgery. Surgery not effective for basal ganglia ICH. 30 day mortality lower with surgical rx. A major development in ICH rx options @WorldStrokeOrg @ESOstroke

I am really excited about this fascinating new finding. More insight linking #diabetes and the brain. Stop #dementia !

New article from @UofT: No association between metformin initiation and incident dementia in older adults newly diagnosed with diabetes.

“The utility of metformin to prevent dementia was not supported in older adults newly diagnosed with diabetes” https://t.co/AY5BELliYu

@KyrreEmblem @Oslounivsykehus Yes to research! Making use of the most common head scan 🧠💥
🔍 Used data from 7 sources in Norway & Sweden 🌍
📏 AI segmented hemorrhages accurately
🤝 Collaboration is key to powerful insights

We are researching ways to use cerebral blood flow patterns to classify bipolar disorder in youth vs. healthy individuals. MRI data analysis reveals promising results. A step towards more precise diagnoses. #Neuroscience #MentalHealth @bengoldstein73

I learned about 7 #inflammation markers that were measured from blood samples and correlated with #cognitive impairment after #stroke . Great work by NorCoast team @IngvildSaltvedt @ab_knapskog

So grateful to our 70+ amazing ENIGMA Stroke collaborators for partnering on our latest Neurology paper showing that younger brain age mediates the impact of lesion damage on outcomes in 963 ppl w/ stroke! @GreenJournal @ResearchAtUSC @USCLONI @USCChanOSOT @enigmabrains /1

[Brad MacIntosh @bradmacintosh]

@NPNLatUSC @GreenJournal @ResearchAtUSC @USCLONI @USCChanOSOT @enigmabrains @PTenigma @kate_hayward_ @NPResearchLab @njahanshad Another outstanding output from this great international team. Kudos to all and particularly @NPNLatUSC

This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

[Brad MacIntosh @bradmacintosh]

really pleased with this #deeplearning #MRI project. i'm not going to lie. it took a while (2.5 years) to get us this far https://t.co/DszuEqsahE

[Brad MacIntosh @bradmacintosh]

Annotating images to train a #deeplearning segmentation model? This is hard work for the human expert! Here is an intriguing solution to address annotator's burden @KyrreEmblem

@northernthrux Don't judge a book by its cover.
I assume the letter will be slide 1 of your talk. Inspiring @northernthrux

[Shawn Whitehead @VulnerableBrain]

@northernthrux Love this! I suspect many of us have a similar story.

[Brad MacIntosh @bradmacintosh]

Inspired by @faithdelosmac ? 🤩🤩(Partial list of) 2022 accolades:
1) Women's College Hospital Emily Stowe Scholars Program award

Many innovative #AI solutions to detect brain bleeds. Will they be used in hospitals near you? @Sunnybrook @Oslounivsykehus @DrRickSwartz @amyyu_md @KyrreEmblem @ECSandset. This paper is an excellent example. Kudos!

Do you have a "go-to" paper you reference when writing in your research field? I gravitate to this gem: "Cerebral small vessel disease: from a focal to a global perspective" https://t.co/8bAgtvnFiv @microbleeds @WorldStrokeEd @HSFCSR Thanks Annemieke ter Telgte et al.

[Brad MacIntosh @bradmacintosh]

https://t.co/WAZFtKxrgC joined the INSTANCE2022 data challenge to segment intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Great work. Good results. Pre-print available here:

A great start to #CYBDResearchDay
Deep insight on #bipolardisorder
Exciting to hear Boris discuss the notion of delaying onset of bipolar disorder @bengoldstein73 @AVoineskos
