🚨 New study in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery on aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) management 🩸 🧠 Anticipatory initiation of Intrathecal Nicardipine (ITN)—given before clinical or imaging evidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI)—significantly reduces DCI parenchymal infarcts compared to controls (31.3% vs 55.2%). Key findings: 📉 Starting ITN prior to intra-arterial (IA) spasmolytics significantly lowers the need for serial IA treatments for recalcitrant vasospasm from 71.4% down to 23.1%. 🛡️ It is a safe intervention with no increased risk of EVD-related complications or meningitis. ⚠️ Timing is everything, because reactionary ITN given after DCI onset did not reduce the rate of additional infarcts or the need for serial IA treatments. Question: Does this article change your practice? #NeuroTwitter #NeuroCriticalCare #SubarachnoidHemorrhage #Vasospasm #NeuroSurgery sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

What is the inciting insult in #IIH? We’ve argued it’s glymphedema and interstitial fluid accumulation. Excited to see this come out in @HeadacheJournal @URNeuroscience @URNeurosurgery

After two years and thousands of manuscripts, I’ve learned that the real work of an editor isn’t gatekeeping — it’s partnership. My latest @JACCJournals Editor’s Page: The Partnership 🔗 jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… #MedTwitter #AcademicMedicine #Cardiology @YaleMed @YaleSPH

thejns.org/view/journals/j-n… Thrilled to show our findings implicating the glymphatic system in futile recanalization after thrombectomy in LVO #stroke. Is the glymphatic system a potential therapeutic target? @mtbendermd

Interesting analysis from RESCU ICAS led by ⁦@mtbendermd⁩ . Worse NIHSS on presentation and higher number of passes are strong predictors for futile recanalization, while stenting and complete recan provide protective effect

Navin had trouble walking, remembering, and needed help with daily tasks—signs of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), caused by fluid buildup in the brain. A new study helped treat his condition without major surgery. Now he walks 3–4 miles a day! #URochesterResearch
