@xaviation what is that

@0xgaut Cool

What would you do with this space in the house?

@elonmusk Wow, good

Why not fix it right now? 🤷‍♂️

Note the discussion about nervous #intermedius blocks written with our very own @VUMCneurology resident Dr. @MerryJean_Losso during her time rotating with our #pain Division @VUMC_Anes

It was a great morning speaking about several important topics, including facial and cranial nerve pain at the 45th Annual Contemporary Clinical Neurology Symposium #CCNS in #HiltonHead.

Grateful to speak about extracranial origins of #headache and the #interdisciplinary approach to chronic headaches @SESPRS1. It was an honor joining Dr. @jjanismd and Dr. Kassis to discuss surgery and other interventions for chronic head pain. @VUMC_Anes @VUMCneurology

Love spending time with this crew at #AAPM2022 @VUMC_Anes @vumcpmr @VUMCneurology @KesayanMD @AndrewPisansky @BenMacDougallMD @doctoredwards

It was an honor to represent @VUMCneurology @VUMC_Anes and speak about #cervicogenic headache at the annual meeting of the Florida Society of Neurology. Thank you for the very educational neurology overview and behavioral neuro programs, @FSNeuro!

Grateful to the Tennessee Pain Society for the opportunity to speak about medical and #InterventionalPain treatments for headaches! Its great to be at an in-person conference again. @VUMCneurology @VUMC_Anes #VUMCNeuro

🔴 1st bite syndrome-temporary #pain relief after trigeminal #NerveBlock & radiofrequency thermal N ablation; subsequent parotid #BotulinumToxin injection led to prolonged relief. @KesayanMD @MoffittNews @USFHealth @VUMCneurology @VUMC_Anes journals.lww.com/aacr/Fulltext/…

An approach for identifying a key structure when treating #glossopharyngeal #neuralgia with RFA. @PainMedJournal academic.oup.com/painmedicine/a…

Trigeminal neuralgia is manifested by severe, paroxysmal facial pain. The classical type involves compression of the trigeminal nerve root. Sodium-channel blockers are the first-choice treatment; if they are unsuccessful, vascular decompression or ablative procedures may be used.

@DrRenati @CPDerdeyn @WBrinjikji Any strong reason for it under 6 hours if clear exam and onset?

@CPDerdeyn @WBrinjikji Under 6hr I believe perfusion excludes people that may benefit from intervention; CT head likely superior. But over 6hr it’s helpful.

Our latest study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology @Routledgepsych suggests that the left hemisphere may play a dominant role in the allocation of body-centered attention, doi.org/10.1080/138033…
