Not every cavernoma should be operated on the same way.

We found that iECoG may significantly improve seizure freedom after cavernoma surgery—particularly for extratemporal lesions.

Happy to see it published in Epilepsia https://t.co/wbQxSM8z5K

Especial médicos🩺⚕️🏥👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️.
Os dejo esta carta en JAMA. Se la pondré a mis alumnos en la próxima clase:
He elegido estas frases :
👇🏻⏰
«La medicina puede tener un significado extraordinario. Pero no puede sustituir el estar presente en tu propia vida. El mundo puede necesitarnos como médicos. Pero las personas que nos aman nos necesitan como nosotros mismos. Y ese es el rol que nadie más puede llenar.»

«La residencia refuerza la lección de que las instituciones están diseñadas para perdurar más allá de los individuos. En cambio, las familias no.»

«Creo en formar a la próxima generación. Creo en el significado de este trabajo. Lo que ha cambiado es mi disposición a absorber el desgaste sin cuestionarlo.»

«Ya no estoy dispuesta a seguir posponiendo la vida. La medicina exige mucho. Y nosotros damos profundamente. Pero no puede tomarlo todo.»

«El significado de mi trabajo es profundo. El significado de mi presencia en casa es irremplazable.»

Are you a neurosurgery resident or medical student interested in Functional Neurosurgery, but seeking more research or clinical mentorship than what's at your own institution? Learn more about the new #ASSFN AMPLify Mentorship Program. This is our second year in the program, and this first year we supported four very highly qualified and productive trainees!

Seizures are debilitating for people with epilepsy, and seizure medications are also not completely benign.

The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) recommends early surgical referral for people with focal epilepsy and a brain lesion, even if seizures are controlled on medications.

Early surgery may reduce medication burden, improve cognitive outcomes, increases lifespan, and enhance quality of life.

Our new study is out today in the New England Journal of Medicine! We demonstrate a speech neuroprosthesis that decodes the attempted speech of a man with ALS into text with 97.5% accuracy, enabling him to communicate with his family, friends, and colleagues in his own home. 1/9

Here are the most FASCINATING facts I could find about Mexico:

1. Mexico is so huge it’s hard to comprehend. You can fit 30 European countries in Mexico and still have room to spare

My attending once said, “If you don’t want to miss something, you have to know where look for it!”

Intracranial aneurysms may occur at many locations, but overwhelming at the ACOM & PCOMM. Look hard at these regions!

Remember, you miss 100% of aneurysms you don't look for!
