Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the "July Effect," which suggests that the influx of inexperienced physicians in July could lead to worse patient outcomes, focusing on traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases in teaching hospitals.
- Using nationwide data, researchers compared patient outcomes based on admission month and found July admissions had a decreased likelihood of death and complications.
- The results showed no significant effect of July admissions on length of stay or routine discharge rates for TBI patients undergoing surgery.

Background: Epilepsy surgery is traditionally difficult to pursue in resource-limited countries but is nevertheless essential in the treatment of medication-refractory, surgically amenable epilepsy.
Methods: With the help of international collaboration, a successful epilepsy program was started in Vietnam. This article comprises a retrospective chart review, combined with prospective longitudinal follow-up of 35 cases of unilateral drug-resistant epilepsy in the temporal lobe who underwent temporal lobectomy, in Viet Duc University Hospital from May 2018 to September 2022.
Background: Although still recommended, using intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) for large vessel occlusions (LVOs) has been questioned in the era of mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We sought to determine the impact of IV-tPA if used before MT.
Methods: We used a single-institution, prospectively maintained stroke database from July 2017 through June 2019.
