Introduction: Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) is a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique utilized for lumbar decompression, which has recently gained popularity in Europe. We aimed to explore the value of sequential adaptive e-learning, followed by simulator-based hands-on training modules for UBE at the occasion of the 2024 EANS Young Neurosurgeons meeting.
Materials And Methods: An adaptive e-learning was designed by learning engineers (Area 9 Lyceum), based on theoretical content provided by two endoscopic spine surgeons.
Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases (RMDs) are very common and can negatively impact patients' quality of life. The current care of patients with RMDs is episodic, based on a few yearly doctor visits, which may not provide an adequate picture of the patient's condition. Researchers have hypothesized that RMDs could be passively monitored using smartphones or sensors, however, there are no datasets to support this development.

- Imposter syndrome (IS) is a common psychological issue affecting many professionals, particularly in competitive fields like neurosurgery, where a European survey found 94% of young neurosurgeons show symptoms of IS.
- The survey involved 232 participants and assessed demographics, IS levels using the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Survey (CIPS), and possible compensatory behaviors.
- Results indicated that IS was linked to experience level and sex, with male neurosurgeons being less likely to experience intense IS, while reading more than five articles weekly increased the risk, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to support affected individuals.
