Not surprising whatsoever. ✨️

Before surgery proceeds, every part of the plan must be understood: the anatomy, the imaging, the positioning, the equipment, and the path that provides the patient with the safest possible approach. For Dr. Cohen-Gadol and the ATLAS Institute team, these details are not small. They are part of the discipline required in advanced brain and spine surgery. Careful work begins long before the first incision.

In a new @NatureNeuro study led by @UCSF neurosurgeon @EWinklerMDPhD, researchers profiled the cells in human aneurysms, identifying the changes that make a rupture more likely and new opportunities for therapeutic intervention: nature.com/articles/s41593-0… @mtlawton @BarrowNeuro

So so close to the why... 🤞🧠

Foramen magnum-marginal sinus dural arteriovenous fistula presenting with brain stem edema and progressive myelopathy. Skull base and cerebrovascular surgery-the inseparable twins (citing @jacquesmorcosmd). Far lateral approach provided the exposure needed for precise microsurgical disconnection of the fistula resulting in symptoms resolution. @MariaBederson @StanfordNsurg

The EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases was honored to be invited by the FDA to participate in a closed roundtable discussion with FDA leadership on Wednesday, June 3. Our Chief Mission Officer, Annie Kennedy, and Board Member, James Valentine shared some of the challenges and opportunities prioritized by our community during our Community Congress partner engagements, PDUFA Ad hoc working group prioritization, and recent Scientific Workshop discussions. Linked below is a summary of this week's conversation with the agency. We are grateful to Acting Commissioner, Kyle Diamantas, and Associate Director for Rare Disease Strategy, Amy Rick, for convening this meeting. We are optimistic about what comes next and look forward to working closely with the agency to ensure the voices of our community are heard. Read our meeting summary here: everylifefoundation.org/fda-… Participating organizations, pictured here, include: @CureSanfilippoF, @CFRI_CureCF, @cureangelman, Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), @CancerResrch, @GlobalGenes, @HaystackProject, @iamalsorg, @stopbatten , @RareDiseases, @One_Rare_, @ParentProjectMD, @UncommonCures

The honor is mine. So special to spend time with @JanKarlBurkhar1 @visishs #JoshCatapno and #DanYoshor. Amazing Cerebrovasular program with high volume, high complexity, and all the cutting-edge trials. Congratulations to the team!
