Recetas matemáticas para el almuerzo de todos los días.
¿Han oído hablar de la célebre “sopa de Fibonacci”?
Se prepara hoy con una porción de la sopa de ayer y otra de la del día anterior; así contiene la suma de las dos precedentes en una secuencia infinita.

Why do we in #spinesurgery still subject our incidental durotomy pts to the medieval torture of “bedrest”? We even have (rare in #neurosurgery) Level 1 evidence that it’s not necessary. https://t.co/Bm2MS64Z8V

Neurosurgery isn’t just a specialty—it’s a calling. The long hours, the sacrifices, the weight of responsibility are not for the faint of heart. But if you’re driven by purpose, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to your patients, this path will shape you in ways you never imagined.

Vertebrobasilar aneurysms are the "glioblastoma of vascular neurosurgery." This study is the culmination of many years of teamwork and confirms high mortality within 1 year of diagnosis, especially in older patients >50 yrs....

PREGUNTA DE EXAMEN FINAL

Lancet acaba de publicar una revisión sistemática con datos de 59 países (incluyendo a Colombia) que concluye que la escolaridad se asocia con un aumento de la esperanza de vida, incluso ajustando por otras variables como nivel socioeconómico. 👇🧵

Eso lo acabo la @UNALOficial en rectoría del profesor @MantillaIgnacio con la creación de la Bolsa de créditos. Así se eliminó esa vagabundería. Si el estudiante perdía créditos por repetir materias, agotaba su bolsa y perdía la calidad de estudiante.

Cranial Nerves exam ⁉️

I found this useful article for non-neurologists which describes the cranial nerve examination in a simplistic way🚨

1/Do you get a Broca’s aphasia trying remember the location of Broca's area?

Does trying to remember inferior frontal gyrus anatomy leave you speechless?

Don't be at a loss for words when it comes to Broca's area

Here’s a 🧵to help you remember the anatomy of this key region!

1/Hate it when one radiologist called the stenosis mild, the next one said moderate--but it was unchanged?!

How do you grade it? Do you estimate? Measure? Guess???

Let this thread take the load off your back w/a lumbar grading system that’s easy, reproducible & evidence-based!
