New pub from @pghneurosurgery : old age alone should not be a contraindication to neurosurgery; safe good results still attainable in the elderly. Important in the 🇵🇭 where mean life span is 72-74 years.

🔑 The Philippines🇵🇭 only has 174 neurosurgeons🧠 (~1:600,000 people)
🔑 No full-time nsurg in 35 provinces = 24M people underserved (almost size of Australia🇦🇺)
🔑 >70,000 unmet essential surgeries annually #NEUglobalneurosurgery @NeurosurgeryCNS

Philippine General Hospital has just been certified as the First🥇 Center in Southeast Asia to offer Exablate Neuro MR-guided Focused Ultrasound for treatment of tremors! Over 20+ patients served & counting! Congratulations to the PGH #HIFU team! @upsystem @UPManilaOnline

[JB Pascual @JBPascualMD]

Excited for this opportunity to combine my psych background and my love for neurosurgery and awake brain mapping as a PhD student in Health Science Research on those topics. Forever grateful to my mentors at @pghneurosurgery @cgyneurosurg @UPDPsych and Prof. H. Duffau

Learning from mistakes: We report a case of SUNCT with a surgically missed pituitary microadenoma wherein headaches were cured. EEA surgery may affect the pterygopalatine ganglion leading to cure.

Knowing how 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so forth languages are located in the 🧠 helps neurosurgeons maximize the onco-functional balance for multilinguals with brain tumors.

@brainattackmd Good to see you @brainattackmd ! Great things ahead!

[JB Pascual @JBPascualMD]

Very important for enhancing #neurooncology and #Glioblastoma treatment for #LMICs !

[Adrian I. Espiritu, MD, FPNA @neuroaidz]

A new research paper is coming out! 🤩

Congratulations, Louie Dy and Erika Ong for this great accomplishment! Thank you so much @atomar_md for involving me in this important project, and congratulations as well! 🙌🏼 Next paper? 😅

Prof. Duffau and I discuss why return to a normal socio-professional life is important to consider as a real-world #Neurosurgery outcome in treating diffuse low grade #gliomas and why standardized #HRQoL scales may be lacking in this respect. https://t.co/FKwwag1aqz 🇵🇭🇫🇷

The subjective experience of patients undergoing awake craniotomy (AC) for brain tumors is important. Our review saw that AC gave patients a sense of control over their disease, outlining the importance of trust and pre-op counseling. https://t.co/ORWQWmM4GR

[JB Pascual @JBPascualMD]

In a survey of neurosurgery trainees in 🇵🇭, 100% use @YouTube and 97.3% use @neurosurgatlas to supplement their operative education. Unsurprisingly, #COVID19 decreased OR experience, and saw an increase in webinar use. 🧠 https://t.co/uaQiRGBM7b
