Publication 🚨: "Reinsertion Versus Replacement for Contaminated or Postoperatively Infected Bone Flaps: systematic review". @NeurosurgeryCNS 👉reinsertion: higher reoperation risk 👉 Flap preservation: needs to be selective 🔗doi.org/10.1227/neu.00… @AsfandBm @lavrador_jose

The future of global neurosurgery is not teaching alone: it is learning together. “Global Neurosurgery Needs Reciprocity: Bidirectional Exchange as a Workforce Strategy.” @BrainSpineJ We propose a model for global neurosurgical education. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.bas.…

We have published a rare case of Granular Cell Astrocytoma Molecular Profile predicting aggressive behavior in Pathol Oncol Res @FrontiersIn . 🔗dx.doi.org/10.3389/pore.2… 👉GCAs span a morphological spectrum yet molecularly correspond to subtype of glioblastoma @lavrador_jose

New Research Alert! 🧠💻 1/3 Can AI map the #glioblastoma immune environment without a biopsy? Our new PRECISE-GBM study in @EditorNeuro says YES. We’ve developed a radiogenomic pipeline to non-invasively predict macrophage M0 signatures using standard pre-operative MRI:

We have published on the concept of "The Intraoperative Golden Hour in MIPS Surgery for Brain Tumors" @Cancers_MDPI . 👉Structured frameworks that help surgeons plan and perform MIPS safely 🔗doi.org/10.3390/cancer… 👏@lavrador_jose

“Grass Is Always Greener on the Other Side” or Is It?! Comparison of Trend of Awake Craniotomy in Neuro-Oncology and Asleep Deep Brain Stimulation in @KargerPublisher. 👉AC started with epilepsy surgery but has exploded in neuro-oncology 🔗doi.org/10.1159/000530… @DifeiWang

This study shows that alarmingly surgical delay significantly worsens outcomes in patients with chronic subdural haematomas. Older age, antiplatelet therapy, milder neurological presentation and low frailty scores were key contributors to delay. jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/… @lavrador_jose @KingsNeuro

Very happy to finally see this work published, where we investigate the role of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) in the survival of a cohort of GBM patients. Thank you @lavrador_jose for the support and invaluable guidance. @KingsNeuro @EditorNeuro academic.oup.com/noa/article/8/…

We have published on "The EFTC Approach in management of pineal tumors: GTR through a single burr hole" @SpringerNature Child's NS 👉minimally invasive route for lesions in the posterior 3rd ventricle 🔗rdcu.be/e8jiB @BasselZebian @DrAtaSiddiqui

Early Saturday morning with the students of King’s College London Surgical Society @kclneurosurgerysoc attheir Guy’s Hospital Campus. I’ll be giving them a tour of 21st century microvascular neurosurgery . The meeting in honour of Glasgow and King’s alumnus Joseph Lister.
