New @NeurosurgeryCNS: a proposed solution to the publication “arms race” - #ArmsRaceControlScore. ARCS quantifies authorship effort, disincentivizes quantity over quality, and offers meaningful comparison of #ResidencyApplicants. Designed by @bowersbrainsurg @MichaelKogan20

Fantastic paper by @adicpini shows that in >13k chronic/subacute subdural hematomas, frailty status mattered the least in the 5% that were treated by middle meningeal artery embolization alone. MMAE embo may be used irrespective of frailty status!#frailtyfighters @NRADjournal

New @TSJ_Editor: Led by @nithingupta0210, we describe complementary effects of postoperative delirium and frailty on 30-day outcomes following spine surgery. Great team effort! @bowersbrainsurg @SinaZoghiMD @MichaelCovell_

🚨 Attention neurosurgery residents and medical students or post-doctoral fellows pursuing neurosurgery! We are seeking input on a 5-7 minute survey to understand the current landscape of neurosurgical mentorship: redcap.link/NSG_MENTOR

Hello #MedTwitter! I’m Josef Williams, I am a 4th year medical student at Georgetown University School of Medicine. I will be applying #Neurosurgery for #Match2025! I am currently interested in vascular neurosurgery as well as spine! Hobbies: Cologne, sports, and reading

New @NeurosurgeryCNS: Costs of #OrganizedNeurosurgery - we present an accounting review of society membership dues, meeting fees, and journal subscription costs to engage in organized neurosurgery. 💵 Great team effort! @Stefan_313 @ImmaculateChr10 @Joannaroy99 @bowersbrainsurg

New! @NeurosurgeryCNS explores the “July Effect” on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) outcomes. Read Evidence Against a #TBI “July Effect”: An Analysis of 3,160,452 Patients From the National Inpatient Sample: journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/a… #WINSxResearchMonday @AANSCNStrauma

New @WorldNeurosurg: We identified key predictors of Failure to Rescue in malignant brain tumor resection using a frailty-driven model with the RAI (C-stat: 0.82). Thank you for the tremendous support! @bowersbrainsurg @Joannaroy99 @MichaelCovell_

Beautiful weekend for the 2024 @CityofRehoboth Seashore Marathon! 🎄🎅🏼

Grateful to @CNS_Update to discuss costs of organized neurosurgery during the @councilsns advocacy & value session. ARCS of residency publications, not total publication count, predicted academic careers. Thank you @bowersbrainsurg for your mentorship & presenting on my behalf.

#HeadingToHouston for #2024CNS @CNS_Update! Excited to present our work w/ @BowersNsgyLab @bowersbrainsurg 📈 Costs of Academic Engagement in Organized Neurosurgery - CSNS (9/30) 3:58-4:04 📊 Does Residency Program Ranking Impact Scholarly Activity? 🌅 Med Ed (10/2) 7:06-7:12

Wake up, it’s #2024CNS @CNS_Update Week! ⏰ Check out our lab’s oral presentations while you’re in Houston. We look forward to connecting with our #neurosurgery colleagues! 🧠 @bowersbrainsurg @MichaelCovell_ @Joannaroy99 @BhallaShubhang @Stefan_313
