Our study identifies important differences in outcomes after cervical spinal cord injury associated with insurance type. Thanks to all co-authors for their help, and to @JAMASurgery for sharing our work. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Congratulations to @jetanbadhiwala, who was awarded the AOSpine 2025 Young Investigator Research Grant for his project: “The use of digital health technology for apersonalized medicine approach to degenerative cervical myelopathy.” @UofTSpine More info at: blog.aona.org/introducing-th…

Congratulations to entire team! Published today- Blood Pressure thresholds and acute spinal cord injury. @Crit_Care

Great time in Rio de Janeiro last week for Global Spine Congress 2025. Thankful for the opportunity to share all the research from lab @ChrisLozanoMD @armaan_km @UofTNeuroSurge @SMH_NSSresearch #AOSpine

Great collaboration from @SickKidsNews demonstrating the utility of ocular #POCUS for evaluating children with ventricular shunts presenting with shunt failure symptoms in the ED @UofTSurgery @SickKidsGHCBMH @ISPNeurosurgery @HydroAssoc @SpinaBifidaAssn @ihpmeuoft

Great to share some of our pilot work on the development of an automated AI tool for screening and triage of spine trauma at the annual CITAC meeting. Thanks to project supervisor @cwitiw for all the support. @spinesection @CSRS_org @SMH_NSSresearch @UofTSpine @UofTNeuroSurge

New cost-utility analysis: both laminoplasty and lami + fusion can be cost‑effective options for cervical myelopathy; treatment choice should be guided by patient factors and local resources. nassopenaccess.org/article/S2666-… @VishuKarthik @UofTNeuroSurge @SMH_NSSresearch @ihpmeuoft

Dr. Michael Schwartz, Legend of Canadian surgery retiring after 50 years (!!) @UofTNeuroSurge @Sunnybrook Thousands of patients and lives saved; a career full of reinvention and innovation from radiosurgery to focused ultrasound. Inspiring every step of the way. Congrats Mike!

Thank you @imrtlee for the super productive year of Olympian training at @MSKCancerCenter. Your joy, creativity, & drive to ⬆️ outcomes are awe-inspiring! Next up: dream serving my hometown as H&N #radonc @UofTDRO @Sunnybrook alongside mentors like @SahgalArjun @DrAlexLouie 😊

AI methods may improve traumatic brain injury outcome prediction. In this review, we identified several domains that represent key focus areas to enhance generalizability and clinical translation. @ihpmeuoft @UofT_TCAIREM @npjDigitalMed @UofTNeuroSurge nature.com/articles/s4174…

1/ 📢 Just published in NEJM AI: We take a critical look at Canada’s attempt to regulate artificial intelligence through the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA). Our focus: where it fell short—especially in health care—and how to move forward. 🔗 ai.nejm.org/stoken/default…

A big congratulations to our fantastic graduating fellow Dr Jerry Ku! Jerry will be starting his practice in North Vancouver this July! 🥳🥳🥳 @vitorpereiracan @DanniDiestro @trmarot @UofTNeuroSurge

Great to have this photo-op with the @UofTNeuroSurge neurosurgery residents at the @AANSNeuro annual meeting today here in Boston! @UofTSurgery @uoftmedicine

Wonderful to see @JamesRutka’s legacy as Editor in Chief of @TheJNS. Congratulations to Dr. Rutka and the JNS team on the many years of service and dedication to neurosurgical science.@UofTNeuroSurge @UofTSurgery

Great to see these superstar @UofTSurgery @UofTNeuroSurge residents (and superstar @MichelSourour) at the #AANS2025. So humbled by the brain power in this photo.

Great to see work done by @HusainShakil2 presented @AANSNeuro @UofTNeuroSurge

Inspiring talk from the legendary @mtlawton last week on brainstem cavernoma surgery, and the next frontiers of neurosurgery for the @UofTSurgery Harland-Smith lecture. A wonderful event organized by @JamesRutka for the @UofTNeuroSurge residents. Here with @ap_landry and @lsyefet

Another great Visiting Professorship, this time @UofTNeuroSurge. It’s worth a moment’s reflection on @JamesRutka, a true “ triple threat“: master surgeon, inquisitive scientist, consummate educator. His example should motivate neurosurgeons to operate, research, publish, teach,…

Warm welcome to Dr Michael Lawton @BarrowNeuro who delivered the @UofTSurgery Harland-Smith lecture in anatomy with an impressive overview of the taxonomy of cerebral cavernous malformations today! @mtlawton @JamesRutka @UofTNeuroSurge @uoftmedicine
