A rapid blood test for traumatic brain injury is now part of routine care at UPMC Presbyterian, thanks to faculty from Pitt Neurosurgery.

A small blood sample, two brain-specific biomarkers (GFAP and UCH-L1), and lab-quality results in about 15 minutes at the bedside. The test helps clinicians decide who actually needs a CT scan, reducing time in the ED, radiation exposure, and unnecessary cost.

Pitt was the central biorepository for the research that validated the test for FDA clearance through TRACK-TBI, with Drs. David Okonkwo and Ava Puccio leading the department's neurotrauma biomarker work for nearly two decades.

Congratulations to Regan Shanahan, MD, (@reganmshanahan) on receiving the Theodore Kurze, MD, Senior Prize for Excellence in Neurological Surgery and Clinical Neurosciences from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

The Kurze Prize is awarded each year to a graduating Pitt Med student entering neurosurgical residency training. It honors Dr. Kurze, who pioneered the use of the operating microscope in neurosurgery in 1957 and was a mentor to former Pitt Neurosurgery chair Peter Jannetta, MD.

Dr. Shanahan begins her training at Pitt Neurosurgery this summer as an incoming PGY-1 resident. Welcome to the team!

Impresionantes imágenes desde Madrid:

[Vente Venezuela @VenteVenezuela]

¡MADRID SE DESBORDÓ POR LA LIBERTAD! ☀️

La Puerta del Sol es un mar tricolor que grita con una sola voz. Miles de venezolanos se concentraron para respaldar a nuestra líder @MariaCorinaYA y ratificar que nuestra lucha es indetenible.

[María Corina Machado @MariaCorinaYA]

Hoy el mundo entero con sus ojos en Plaza del Sol porque saben que aquí, hoy, estamos iniciando el regreso a casa.

#Madrid

[Isabel Díaz Ayuso @IdiazAyuso]

La Hispanidad es la verdadera nación de naciones.

Cuando cunda la zozobra, ahí tendremos el ejemplo de @MariaCorinaYA.

🇻🇪‼️ | María Corina Machado confirmó que regresará a Venezuela en las "próximas semanas". Tras la histórica operación de las fuerzas estadounidenses que puso fin a la usurpación, la mujer que derrotó al socialismo en las urnas vuelve para sellar la victoria definitiva y reconstruir la nación sobre las cenizas de la tiranía.

[Orlando Avendaño @OrlvndoA]

Uno preso, el otro muerto.

Lo hizo Trump.

[André Ventura @AndreCVentura]

O despoletar de mais um conflito no Médio Oriente inquieta e gera incerteza quanto ao futuro próximo. Não são, obviamente, escolhas que Portugal possa fazer sozinho. Começada a guerra, é fundamental alcançar os objectivos estabelecidos: impedir o acesso a armas nucleares pela ditadura iraniana e libertar o povo iraniano (sobretudo as mulheres) da opressão e da tirania.

[The Reagan Caucus @NewReaganCaucus]

Venezuelans love Marco Rubio.
