In recent years, machine learning and artificial neural networks have been adopted by various areas of healthcare—but what about spinal surgery? ow.ly/5R4750G3PJZ @JakeMc_D @dpahern @cunniffg @NSIURG #Spine #Healthcare

Our study examining the impact of Covid and lockdown on spinal referrals is out - we noticed some direct activity related changes in referral patterns but also changes not directly attributable to these behaviours - such as a decrease in other malignancy case referrals
Recent publication exploring the impact of covid lockdowns on spinal injuries, with reduced malignancy-related referrals, but increased cyclist-related injuries. Congrats to Louis O'Halloran and the team @IrishJMedSci @JakeMc_D @dpahern @elitespine1 @UCDMedicine @Matersurgery

SEASPIRACY IS FINALLY HERE! As someone passionate about ocean life, I set out to document the harm that humans do to marine species, but instead, I uncovered an alarming global corruption.. #seaspiracy @GeorgeMonbiot @cyrillgutsch @seashepherd

When you disrupt a service for six months, death rates are increased for a decade. In advance of Daffodil Day 2021, @Seamusoreilly18⁩ explains how the pandemic has left many cancer patients imprisoned in their suffering. ⁦⁦⁦@IrishCancerSocindependent.ie/irish-news/he…

Thanks Scott! Here in Ireland, DEXA waiting lists are considerable to say the least! Hopefully this will allow better #osteoporosis screening, especially in the preop setting @IrishResearch @NSIURG
Great article by @dpahern and @elitespine1 on Hounsfield Units and bone health in spine surgery! #medtwitter @NASSspine thespinejournalonline.com/ar…

I didn't realise the lesson we have learned during the pandemic is that we have *too many* doctors..? irishexaminer.com/news/arid-…

Have to say a massive thank you to those at @OrsDragonfly3D ! Have been struggling with a particular aspect of my microCT analysis for more hours than I care to admit... dropped them a mail and problem solved in less than a day! Very grateful 🙌

Great to have this published, here we examined whether patients benefit from early or late stabilisation in spinal trauma without neurological impairment. May be of interest as the new @traumaireland system is being developed. @MaterTrauma @Matersurgery @NSIURG @JakeMc_D
The timing of surgical fixation in spinal #fractures is a contentious topic. In this study, surgeons conclude that patients with unstable spinal #injury without neurological deficit are suitable for early appropriate care with spinal precautions ow.ly/rrvv50CnIsj #spine
