🧠✨ Exciting Breakthrough in Brain Health! 🌐 New research led by Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Yale School of Medicine reveals a groundbreaking connection: subdural hemorrhages in older adults are linked to amyloid deposits in cerebral blood vessels. This marks a crucial step towards unraveling the mysteries of these conditions, promising a deeper understanding and potentially paving the way for innovative treatments. 🚀 Stay tuned as science continues to unveil the intricate tapestry of our amazing brains! 🧬🔍 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4aEJy0A Credit: JAMA Network Open #ElderlyBrainBleeding #AmyloidDeposits #BrainHealth #AgingAndHealth #CognitiveHealth #Amyloidosis #BrainBleed #meded #eMednews

👉Southeast Neuroscience Center LLC (SNC) has treated the neurological needs of Southeast Louisiana patients since its founding in 1996. 🩺SNC’s team members treat the full spectrum of neurological disorders. Diagnostic testing including EMG, routine and ambulatory EEG, as well as more advanced electrophysiologic testing (VEP, SSEP, BAER are a critical part of the diagnosis and management of often cryptogenic medical conditions. 🩺SNC’s in-house imaging facility offers cutting edge high-field closed and now fully open MRI systems with high weight limits as well as a newly added high-definition 128-channel CT scanner with very low radiation dosing technology. Because these imaging modalities are not hospital-owned, costs to patients are often significantly less than at other such facilities. SNC is accepting new patients that are self-referred and provider-referred. All insurances are accepted. SNC makes a special commitment to those without insurance by tailoring affordable payments plans when necessary. #SoutheastNeuroscienceCenter #NeuroCareSpecialists #BrainHealthExperts #NeuroScienceClinic #NeuroCareSolutions

Exciting TMS research happening State University of New York Upstate Medical University: Upstate seeks participants for study of concussion treatment Article states,"Upstate Medical University is seeking volunteers for a research study using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique as a novel treatment for chronic headaches and other post-concussion symptoms in people with mild traumatic brain injury." "Led by Principal Investigator Yi-Ling Kuo, PT, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Physical Therapy Education in the College of Health Professions, the study aims to further existing literature on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which stimulates the #brain using a magnetic field. To date, it has been shown to reduce #concussion symptoms such as headaches for one month after treatment." “Our project is extending the follow-up window to see if there’s any longer-term effect,” Kuo said. “We are following up for six months. Additionally, we will search for #biomarkers (through bloodwork) to identify good candidates for rTMS.” #TMS https://lnkd.in/gdqGtgQQ

In people with epilepsy, progression of retinal neuroaxonal loss is detectable at short-term follow-up, according to a study published online Oct. 9 in Epilepsia Journal. Livia Stauner, from LMU University Hospital in Germany, and colleagues examined the longitudinal dynamics of retinal neuroaxonal loss and possible driving factors in 44 people with epilepsy versus 56 healthy controls (aged 18 to 55 years) who underwent spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Celebrating 100 Mechanical Thrombectomies: A Milestone of Impact  🌟 As we commemorate National Stroke Awareness Month this May, Neurocoverage is proud to announce a significant achievement: Our team of physicians have successfully performed over 100 mechanical thrombectomies, marking a pivotal moment in our mission to redefine the landscape of neurological care. In majority of cases, these interventions were provided in hospitals where patients may not have otherwise received timely care. This underscores our commitment to accessibility and ensuring that every individual has access to the highest quality of care, regardless of their location or circumstances. To Our Collaborative Team of Physicians and Hospital Administrators: Your united efforts have made this milestone possible. Through teamwork and dedication, we've not only treated patients but also transformed lives, reduced disability, and reshaped the future of neurological intervention. Your commitment to excellence paves the way for enhanced patient outcomes and societal benefits that extend far beyond the walls of our institutions. Together, we're rewriting the script on neurological care, ushering in a new era of possibility and promise. Here's to the next hundred interventions and the countless lives we'll touch along the way!!

We are pleased to share our sponsorship of the 2025 Intensive Course on Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) for Deep Brain Stimulation! The IONM Course is presented by the Greenville Neuromodulation Center, will be hosted in Boston, MA, USA on April 29 - May 1, 2025. Many neurological disorders have proven remarkably responsive to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and other forms of neuromodulation. An urgent need exists among patients, family members and caregivers for physicians and professionals who are trained in surgical and nonsurgical approaches to care. Worldwide demand is surging for skilled medical management teams capable of efficiently managing pharmaceutical, emergent and second opinions related to DBS care. This course will be lead Dr. Karlo J. Lizarraga, M.D., M.Sc, a neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist with expertise in movement disorders, motor physiology and neuromodulation. The course schedule and registration link can be found on our event page: https://lnkd.in/dmSususF We hope to see you in Boston! #fhcinc #dbs #deepbrainstimulation #neuromodulation #movementdisorders #STarFix #functionalneurosurgery

TTUHSC medical student Luis Castro, during his time at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), participated in a research project that resulted in a case report published in The Journal of the American Medical Association Neurology, focusing on a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1. This experience not only deepened his understanding of rare neurological conditions but also highlighted the crucial role of digital evidence in modern diagnostics. Castro's work underscores the need for clinicians to consider how digital technologies, such as mirrored selfies, can impact the interpretation of clinical symptoms, ultimately influencing patient care and diagnostic accuracy.
