DNA. This is infused deep into the brain using real-time MRI scanning to guide a microcatheter to two brain regions - the caudate nucleus and the putamen. This takes 12 to 18 hours of neurosurgery. The virus then acts like a microscopic postman- delivering the new piece of DNA inside brain cells,

This country, man. Called a battery replacement service for my dead car which obviously needs a new battery. They quoted $400 **just for the labor** WTAF. It doesn’t take more than 30 mins to replace a battery. This isn’t neurosurgery…

It felt so absurd to me; did he really think that the head of neurosurgery at the largest hospital in our region didn't know how to do neurosurgery? All because he was Black? It's an utterly unhinged premise. I wasn't going to treat it seriously because it was not a rational position to hold.

One year ago on this day I was laid low by what I thought was a strained muscle in my back but ended up being a staphylococcus spinal epidural abscess.
Some neurosurgery, a few titanium vertebrae and a lifetime supply of antibiotics later, things are ok!

8 hours of new-age/ambient music composed by Vangelis for a series of videos showcasing neurosurgery techniques for trainee neurosurgeons? Sure why not?
Only a few minutes in but very nice so far
Only a few minutes in but very nice so far
A chat with @andyzax.bsky.social reminded me of a real late 1990s artifact, Vangelis's "Tegos Tapes," done for a Greek surgeon as background music for training videos because said surgeon figured just him talking would be boring as shit. 8 hours plus of spacelanes drift!

The Tegos Tapes is an interesting example of an obscure and heretofore unreleased Vangelis soundtrack unknown by many of even his most devoted fans.The...

For the curious: this is a micro forcep used in neurosurgery. The tips are supposed to meet evenly and close flush. The dime is there for scale. Told you they were small!

People who know me know I rarely shill for much, but my experience at UAB as a family member of a patient was amazing. Huge thanks to Neurosurgery and Drs. Kristen Riley, Brad Woodworth, and Harrison Walker (Neurology).
Context here. In August, my mom developed a CSF leak and subsequent pneumocephalus. Her initial ENT and neurosurgeon were unable to identify the leak and were suggesting a full and bilateral craniotomy to go in and fix it. I moved her to UAB and she got the care she needed. She is recovering well.
Flip side, you can also have n = 1 patient like my mom being treated by a highly trained neurosurgeon who was suggesting a highly risky and invasive surgery that is no longer the standard of care and it was only by me (not an MD) challenging the surgeon that she got the procedure she needed.

This Monday, October 6, we held a free
neurosurgery medical day in the Maghazi area.
By God's grace and the efforts of dedicated people, we received 40 patients who needed care and attention. This day was a balm for our people's wounds. We ask God to reward all involved.

IMO he was driven insane by excruciating chronic pain without hope of relief. I lost nearly 12 months of my life in agony from botched neurosurgery that WAS eventually corrected. I was 100% mental so I can imagine how he’d have felt suffering and continuously being refused treatment. Not guilty.

uniQure company reports gene therapy clinical trial results showing that miRNA-like silencing of the huntingtin gene slowed progression of the Huntington’s disease by 75% after three years.
The miRNA is delivered by AAV via a neurosurgery.
Amazing.

Because neurosurgery and nutrition kinda sound the same.
This is the guy he made HUD secretary the first go around because Housing and Urban Development has the word “urban” in there.

The operational details of how they did this are pure cyberpunk insanity. 12 hours of neurosurgery to infuse an engineered virus to deliver a payload that causes the cells to produce microRNA fragments that bind to the MRNA that's instructing the cells to build the broken Huntington protein.
