Nothing beats having a best friend who will always travel the world with you- even if it includes rough boat rides, go on adventures just to find Arepas, & make sure that you constantly reapply sunscreen
Had an amazing time at #AANAM- learning, connecting with friends from medical school, talking to current students, such cool research, but the best part the puppies! 🧠
🚨 #ISC26 delivered BIG for stroke care. Multiple practice-important and promising trials across thrombosis, reperfusion, EVT, ICH, and neuroprotection 🏥🧠👇
🔹 OCEANIC-STROKE – Positive phase III: FXIa inhibition with asundexian reduced ischemic stroke in patients with non-cardioembolic stroke or high-risk TIA on antiplatelet therapy without increased major bleeding
🔹 OPTION – In patients with salvageable tissue, tenecteplase (4.5–24h) significantly improved 90-day excellent outcomes with higher sICH (2.8% vs 0%)
🔹 CHOICE-2 – Largest phase III trial of IA alteplase after successful EVT: higher excellent outcomes (mRS 0–1), no increase in sICH, NNT ≈ 7
🔹 FASTEST – rFVIIa for spontaneous ICH: promising early results in spot sign–positive patients treated <90 min
🔹 LAIS – Loberamisal (dual-target neuroprotection) within 48h for AIS (NIHSS 7–20): 13% absolute increase in excellent functional outcomes at 90 days
🔹 DISTALS – Tigertriever for distal occlusions: higher successful reperfusion at 24h without increased sICH
🔹 ORIENTA-MeVO – EVT for MeVO improved 90-day functional outcomes without excess sICH in a Chinese population
The stroke playbook is evolving in real time. 🔥

Here is an app that I’ve created for cognitive testing. It’s freely available and collates most of the commonly used bedside tests in Neurology/Neurosurgery. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions, recommendations or questions!

Watch. To. The. End.
#SVIN2025 just casually dropped a bombshell:
CREST-2 says carotid stenting > CEA + medical management.
Yes, you read that right.
The data has spoken: ARD 3.2%, RR 2.13, and the p-value didn’t come to play.
The plenary hall was purely electric.
You could feel the field shift in real time.
YES MIKIE SHERRILL & NEW JERSEY!!!! So proud of my fave state for recognizing strong leadership and someone who will stand up for ALL people #Election2025
Spreading the gospel of ~ time is brain~ not only during the last week of nights but at

🚨1/8 Excited to share the final version of our #meningioma#mesothelin#CART-cell paper, now published @NeuroOnc with corrected proofs! This preclinical work lays the foundation for applying CAR T-cell therapy to aggressive and treatment-refractory meningiomas. Highlights ⬇️
Our first-ever issue of Continuum dedicated to disorders of CSF dynamics is online and shipping!
Why did we decide to dedicate a full issue to these disorders? 1/ 🌊🌊🌊
Lot of dads in the Delaware Valley currently pacing around the living room and lecturing everyone on the importance of “keeping the foot on the gas here”
@mattadler81 Mita and Pow Pow are good options. Busboy and Poets are some solid picks on their menu. I feel like more DC places need to provide better brunch vegan options/ egg alternatives.
