Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) management guidelines vary across regions and there is limited research on real-world adherence to these guidelines. We conducted a global survey to assess the adherence of neurosurgeons to TBI guidelines and evidence-based medicine (EBM).
Method: A 24-item survey was created using Google Forms, covering demographic information, neurotrauma training, basic knowledge of EBM, surgical and in-hospital management.
Background: A glaring gender inequality persists in global neurosurgery, influenced by various factors, including the notion that female neurosurgeons have lower academic output. This study aims to compare the research output of female and male neurosurgeons at the leading academic institutions in India.
Methods: The pertinent details regarding female neurosurgeons were collected from the Neurological Society of India (NSI) and Women In Neurosurgery (India) database.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the evolution of surgical treatments for pain, particularly focusing on radiosurgery for conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, a type of chronic facial pain.
- A systematic review was conducted, analyzing studies published from 2000 to 2022, highlighting that radiosurgery is a safe treatment option with comparable pain control results to other procedures, although microvascular decompression (MVD) is the preferred long-term solution.
- Findings indicate that radiosurgery offers significant pain relief for a substantial number of patients, with specific dosage guidelines and a notable percentage experiencing pain recurrence after treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how COVID-19 disruptions affected neuroscience research projects and young researchers in India through an online survey targeting medical trainees, post-docs, PhD students, and early career faculty.
- A total of 504 valid responses revealed that over 83% of participants experienced negative impacts on their research, with one-third noting delays and many adapting their methodologies due to the pandemic.
- The findings highlighted significant challenges, particularly for those involved in prospective studies, emphasizing the need for focused support for neuroscience research in the post-pandemic landscape.
