This is a nice paper: Mesoscale CISS Imaging for the Detection of Dural Defects in Spinal CSF Leaks. Wegscheid et al. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Exciting news of the development of a new society for spinal CSF leak practitioners: International Society for Spinal CSF leaks (ISSCL). @PeterGKranz unveils its inauguration here in Amsterdam. @issclsociety
Dr. Hans Amelink presenting about spinal cord herniation in the context of spinal CSF leak:
Dr. Deborah Friedman presenting on cases of orthostatic headache with normal imaging, including differentiation in diagnoses of concussion, POTS, hypermobility syndromes, cervicogenic headaches, & more:
We’re excited to see @AnahitaMalvea also presenting her abstract poster on optimizing the density of intracranial contrast at DSM, based on research conducted with @FarbRichard. #2025IntracranialHypotension #Amsterdam #SIH @CedarsSinai @CanadianNeuroIR @UHN #MedED
Let’s talk about COVID, brain damage & society. Specifically, what happens when a neurotropic virus repeatedly infects the population, targeting the frontal lobe & almost nobody talks about the consequences? This thread is for the skeptics. I’m a neurologist, stay with me 🧵
The presence of fronto-temporal injury from Cövid is a good way to impair impulse control, empathy, short-term memory and new learning. So.... We are likely to have collective amnesia. Our children will forever have to live with our stupidity, @JeromeAdamsMD

Not everyone has Long COVID. Some people just have permanent organ damage and a complete inability to function. Call it Wide COVID, if you like. When you multiply, you cover more area. But the real problem is volume. You need height to grow, to rise. But the damage keeps you…
So 1/3-1/2 of US children have a chronic condition (~5-6% rise benchmarked in 2023, since 2011, whether you look at EMRs or parent-reported data). In other words, kids are immunocompromised. A lot of kids. And we’re not protecting them. We’re actually lowering every possible…

“But but Google Search is just correlation. That’s bad science.” Ok goofy 🤪 how much data do you need? We’ve got… ✅ cognitive testing data for all age groups pointing to multiyear performance declines post-acute infection ✅ neuroimaging data for all age groups pointing…
🚨 Wow. This is just astonishing. 😮 Global google search trend for 'memory issues'. 👀
