Great morning session from both faculty and trainee speakers and our guest, Dr Kayed from UTMB. Some great science to talk about today with the @ouneuroscience symposium. @ouhealth @ouneurosurgery

Great to see my past and present mentors combine for another great OU Neuroscience symposium! Congrats to all the presenters on the great research being done! University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery Andrew Jea Zachary A. Smith, M.D. Eric Leuthardt Andrew Bauer Ian Dunn

A wrap for our 2024 symposium w/@ouneuroscience; congrats to all who presented. And hats off to great scientific co-chairs, Camila and Peter;& Justin our student committee lead (& award winner). Looking forward > next year University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery Camila Bonin Pinto, PhD Sunghwan 'Justin' Ko Sarah Ocanas, PhD

📢🎉🎊Another🎁from the MuscleMap Toolbox! Today we released our thigh muscle health pipeline, which can extract muscle size and composition measures from 13 muscles from each thigh in seconds. More🎁🎁to come! Stay tuned! Happy holidays!🎊🎉📢github.com/MuscleMap/Musc…

📢🎉🎊One more🎁from the MuscleMap Toolbox! Today we released our leg #muscle #health pipeline, which can extract measures of muscle health from 5 muscle groups of each leg in seconds. This was a big, fun #TeamScience effort. Happy holidays!🎊🎉📢github.com/MuscleMap/Musc…

This fantastic spine book came in the mail today and nice to see my own team contribution from University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery in it! Great work by Ali A. Baaj MD and editors! Kyle Zhao #xlesslance Andrew Jea

We are starting a spine fellowship at @ouhealth. Open for candidates for next year and following years. Program exposure to robotics, deformity, MISS, revision, academic projects. Growing city, dynamic dept, D1 sports. If interested or know someone: [email protected]

University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery welcomed our visiting professor, Dr. Roberto Heros, from UM Neurosurgery and Jackson Health System. We are so happy to spend some time with Dr. Heros - a giant in neurosurgery. In exchange, Dr. Heros leaves with cowboy boots and a little bit of Oklahoma in his heart.

Lucky to have Jeffrey Huang of Georgetown as a visiting professor for our OU graduate program and @ouneuroscience!! Amazing talk on neural repair and injury in diseases like MS and great discussion. University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery

Excited to see this work and be a contributor w student David Barkyoumb and Hakeem Shakir. We keep working hard to find ways to optimize steps before surgery starts! Great work David and Hakeem. #okc University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery OU Health

For those who believe in protocols, University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery now has one to decrease spine infections! Coming soon to any Pubmed search. And we learned today it very well be making an impact on outcomes!! #spine Andrew Jea Christopher S. Graffeo, M.D., M.S. OU College of Medicine Ian Dunn GeroScience

Preoperative planning and management is key to best outcomes. Kudos to Hakeem Shakir and members of University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery for looking at GLP-1 and similar medications in spine surgery!!

📢 New in GeroScience Asymptomatic spinal cord compression (ASCC) is common with age, but its clinical significance remains unclear. A new multi-center MRI study by Ali F. Khan, Zachary A. Smith (Zachary A. Smith, M.D.) et al. provides the first quantitative assessment of ASCC,

Fantastic presentation by Adam Kulpa today at our first Neuroscience Seminar of our Fall semester! Packed house this afternoon! Julie Humphrey Zachary A. Smith, M.D. David Sherry #ouneuroscience #seminar #neurotwitter #gradcollege #research

Our team is excited to see this now free-ranging on PubMed. White matter (descending tract) markers may show injury both where there is compression but also in adjacent areas. Imaging for DCM continues to evolve! #spine University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery OU Neuroscience

Exciting times for our ability to image the spinal cord and pin point the areas of injury. And, it will get easier and more consistent! Our team appreciative of being included and kudos to Dr. Conen-Adad, Banerjee, De Leener, Weber, Kaptan &co. who drove this amazing work!

Protocols to streamline care may enhance outcomes and improve readiness for surgery. University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery continues to work to this goal for spine surgery. And it’s a group effort! See our work now in GeroScience with lead, student Lonnie Smith. OU Health OU Neuroscience
