Abstract

Gender and racial equality, or the lack thereof, is a constantly recurring theme in neurosurgery and under-reported in neurotrauma literature. This perspective piece addresses the underrepresentation and challenges faced by women and racial minorities in neurosurgery, and within the workforce of neurotrauma, specifically. The literature demonstrates that there is still a scarcity of females and racial minorities in neurosurgery leadership positions and that females are less likely to receive invited papers. The persistent challenges in navigating gender and racial dynamics in neurosurgery/neurotrauma underscore the need for progress in advancing intersectionality within the field, emphasizing the importance of addressing inequalities. Several strategies to improve gender and racial diversity in neurotrauma workforce, leadership and academics are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background There are currently no effective clinical therapies to ameliorate the loss of function that occurs after spinal cord injury. Electrical stimulation of the rat spinal cord through the rat tail has previously been described by our laboratory. We propose combinatorial treatment with human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived spinal neural progenitor cells (sNPCs) along with tail nerve electrical stimulation (TANES). The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of TANES on the differentiation of sNPCs with the hypothesis that the addition of TANES would affect incorporation of sNPCs into the injured spinal cord, which is our ultimate goal. Methods Chronically injured athymic nude rats were allocated to one of three treatment groups: injury only, sNPC only, or sNPC + TANES. Rats were sacrificed at 16 weeks post-transplantation, and tissue was processed and analyzed utilizing standard histological and tissue clearing techniques. Functional testing was performed. All quantitative data were presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. Statistics were conducted using GraphPad Prism. Results We found that sNPCs were multi-potent and retained the ability to differentiate into mainly neurons or oligodendrocytes after this transplantation paradigm. The addition of TANES resulted in more transplanted cells differentiating into oligodendrocytes compared with no TANES treatment, and more myelin was found. TANES not only promoted significantly higher numbers of sNPCs migrating away from the site of injection but also influenced long-distance axonal/dendritic projections especially in the rostral direction. Further, we observed localization of synaptophysin on SC121-positive cells, suggesting integration with host or surrounding neurons, and this finding was enhanced when TANES was applied. Also, rats that were transplanted with sNPCs in combination with TANES resulted in an increase in serotonergic fibers in the lumbar region. This suggests that TANES contri

Abstract

Introduction: In 2017, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Congress of Neurological Surgeons published a statement in support of adopting telemedicine technologies in neurosurgery. The position statement detailed the principles for use and summarised the active efforts at the time to address barriers that limited expansion of use, such as reimbursement, liability, credentialing and patient confidentiality. The primary aim of this systematic literature review was to identify the available published literature on the application of telemedicine to neurosurgical patient care, with a specific focus on neurotrauma and emergent neurological conditions.Methods: This Level II systematic review of the literature was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2009 guidelines. Following removal of duplicates, 359 studies were yielded from database query. Following application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 78 articles were identified for full-text review.Results: Full-text screening yielded a total of 11 studies for the final analysis. The study interventions took place in seven unique countries and included both developed and developing nations. Data captured spanned the years 1997 to 2019. The total cumulative number of patients who received neurosurgical telemedicine consultations captured by this review was 37,224.Discussion: This review of the literature suggests that telemedicine in emergent settings offers safe, feasible, and cost-reducing methods of increasing access to high acuity neurosurgical care and may serve to limit unnecessary inter-facility transfers. As infrastructure and regulatory guidelines continue to evolve, neurosurgical patients, both domestic and abroad, will benefit from improved access to expertise afforded by telemedicine technologies.
