IT cardene works best when started before any sign of ischemia in aneurysmal SAH @URNeurosurgery @URNeuroscience
šØ New study in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery on aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) management š©ø š§
Anticipatory initiation of Intrathecal Nicardipine (ITN)āgiven before clinical or imaging evidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI)āsignificantly reduces DCI parenchymal infarcts compared to controls (31.3% vs 55.2%).
Key findings:
š Starting ITN prior to intra-arterial (IA) spasmolytics significantly lowers the need for serial IA treatments for recalcitrant vasospasm from 71.4% down to 23.1%.
š”ļø It is a safe intervention with no increased risk of EVD-related complications or meningitis.
ā ļø Timing is everything, because reactionary ITN given after DCI onset did not reduce the rate of additional infarcts or the need for serial IA treatments.
Question: Does this article change your practice?

Skills lab today @URNeurosurgery simulating type 2 and 3 CSF leak repair. Seeing more and more of these cases. Great to practice and teach technique. Appreciate educational grant support from @BioventusGlobal for bone scalpel laminoplasty. @spinalCSFleak

What is the inciting insult in #IIH? Weāve argued itās glymphedema and interstitial fluid accumulation. Excited to see this come out in @HeadacheJournal

š§ New narrative review: A proposed disease model for #IIH suggests altered brain fluid regulation, linked to obesity, may drive a cycle of fluid buildup, venous compression, & ā¬ļøintracranial pressure.

Congrats to @AaronAnandaraj1 one of our most productive @penn undergraduates in the #NeuroVERT lab, now a med student up in Rochester.
Look forward to following your work with @mtbendermd and crew

Excited to have presented my research looking at differences in thrombectomy times based on various social determinants at the regional #APSA conference in Rochester, with my colleagues presenting at #CNS! Thank you for the support from @visishs and @PennNSG over the past year!

Thrilled to show our findings implicating the glymphatic system in futile recanalization after thrombectomy in LVO #stroke. Is the glymphatic system a potential therapeutic target? @mtbendermd

Interesting analysis from RESCU ICAS led by ā¦@mtbendermdā© . Worse NIHSS on presentation and higher number of passes are strong predictors for futile recanalization, while stenting and complete recan provide protective effect

Navin had trouble walking, remembering, and needed help with daily tasksāsigns of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), caused by fluid buildup in the brain.
A new study helped treat his condition without major surgery. Now he walks 3ā4 miles a day! #URochesterResearch
