Improving quality of life for brain tumour patients
A new neuroimaging study at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital at McGill University aims to ensure the highest quality of life for patients by assessing their cognitive skills before, during, and after brain tumour surgery.   view more (2008-04-22)

CSHL links activity in brain synapses and developmental abnormalities with schizophrenia gene
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers have identified a function of neuregulin1 (NRG1), a gene previously linked to schizophrenia but whose role in the disease was unknown.   view more (2007-05-25)

Interactive 3-D Map in OR Can Better Guide Jefferson Neurological Surgeons Through the Brain During Procedure
Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience is one of first medical centers in the U.S. to develop and begin using translational, interactive 3-D technology to map the human brain and help guide neurological surgeons during epilepsy surgery and procedures to remove malignant brain tumors.   view more (2007-07-31)

Mayo Clinic pioneers new method of jaw reconstruction for oral cancer patients

Study examines testing model to predict and diagnose new cases of dementia
A report published by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in the August 20 issue of JAMA suggests that measuring how much an individual's performance varies across several neuropsychological tests enhances the accuracy of predicting whether older adults will... view more (2008-08-20)

Study shows minimally invasive lung surgery has low risk with same results as open surgery
In the largest published study of its kind, with 1,100 patient cases reviewed, a minimally invasive surgical procedure for lung cancer has been shown to be as effective as open surgery with a low risk of complications and high survival rates when performed by experienced thoracic surgeons.   view more (2006-02-06)

For one Stanford doctor, the beat goes on during open-heart surgery
In a Stanford Hospital surgery room on a recent afternoon, heart surgeon Kai Ihnken demonstrated how he repositions the beating heart while it's still inside the chest of a 78-year-old man undergoing triple bypass surgery.   view more (2006-04-26)

Dual treatment for stroke leads to improved recovery rates, reduced mortality
It appears that stroke patients who receive both intravenous thrombolysis - a minimally invasive treatment that dissolves abnormal blood clots - and endovascular interventions - such as drugs and implanting medical devices - are much more likely to recover and have lower chances of dying.   view more (2008-11-13)
