In the 18-center US #TRACKTBI Study, prior TBI was associated with greater risk of in-hospital mortality after new moderate-severe TBI. Prior TBI history should be collected early during acute hospitalization to inform risk stratification. John K. Yue, MD Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @EtemadLeila



Congratulations to UC San Francisco neurosurgeons Manish Aghi, MD PhD and Philip Theodosopoulos, MD on receiving awards this year from The Haile T. Debas Academy of Medical Education UCSF School of Medicine in recognition of their outstanding contributions as medical educators and mentors! 🎉


In The Lancet Reg Health-Americas, researchers characterize the clinical profile + outcomes of U.S. TBI patients with cranial surgery in the prospective, 18-center #TRACKTBI study, laying the groundwork for future analyses in targeted #TBI subgroups: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… John K. Yue, MD


Today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Nowakowski_Lab, @ChangLabUCSF & Mircea Teodorescu (UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute) demonstrate the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain tissue: nature.com/articles/s4159… John UCSF Broad Stem Cell

Can optogenetics be used to control activity in human brain tissue? Check out our new publication in Nature Neuroscience (nature.com/articles/s4159…) Here's a breakdown 🧵 1/14

Trainee Thursday!! Meet a rising star in Neurotrauma research 💫 Introducing John Yue an outstanding NNS trainee working on clinical TBI. John won the MARMAROU AWARD at the 2024 National Neurotrauma Symposium for the top ranked poster presentations.📷John K. Yue, MD Learn


Honored to be the Nov ‘24 #CoverArticle at The Lancet Reg Health-Americas !! In our 18-center prospective U.S. #TRACKTBI Study, we found median time to cranial surgery was 1.8hrs, 71% received surgery in <4hrs of 🧠 injury, and 67% had advanced intracranial monitoring. thelancet.com/journals/lanam…

On the cover of The Lancet Reg Health-Americas, John K. Yue, MD, our Chief of Neurotrauma Geoffrey Manley, MD, PhD & their colleagues summarize the clinical profile + outcomes of U.S. TBI patients with cranial surgery in the prospective, 18-center #TRACKTBI study: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Zuckerberg SF General Hospital & Trauma Center


New Best Practices Guidelines on #TBI management from an American College of Surgeons panel chaired by our Chief of Neurotrauma Dr. Geoffrey Manley provide updates on the use of biomarkers in diagnosis, antiseizure medications in high-risk patients & more ➡️ facs.org/for-medical-pr… Zuckerberg SF General Hospital & Trauma Center
Congratulations to our CANS Resident Research Award Presentations: Dr. John Yue UCSF Neurosurgery, Dr. Jason Kim UCLA Neurosurgery 🧠, and Dr. Jose Castillo UC Davis Health.



Important paper we collab w Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA TRACK-SCI . ISCNSCI exams are time consuming , training is $$$ and limit successful data collection in #spinalcordinjury trials . Our co authors led by Austin Lui showed nearly identical correlation with neurosurgery motor exams (NME)!


Congrats to chief resident John K. Yue, MD on receiving the 1st Place Abstract Award at last weekend's CANS meeting for his abstract “Epidemiology of Intimate Partner and Domestic Violence-Related Traumatic Brain Injury in the United States, 2018-2021.” 🎉 Rithvik Ramesh


Congrats to our Chief of Neurotrauma Geoffrey Manley, MD, PhD, and residents John K. Yue, MD and Mahmoud Elguindy, for receiving a UCSF Catalyst Award from Innovation Ventures - UCSF! 🎉 The award supports their work evaluating traumatic brain injury biomarkers. #UCSFProud #UCSFWeill #TBI Zuckerberg SF General Hospital & Trauma Center


A great day at #SFNS2025 on Saturday! Congrats to PGY6 Anthony Lee, MD, PhD on winning the Rosegay Award for his work on a novel microvascular decompression approach for #TrigeminalNeuralgia, & to PGY7 John K. Yue, MD whose work on predictors of #TBI severity won the Hanberry Award.


Big News: We are proud to announce that UC San Francisco's Chair of Neurosurgery, Edward Chang, MD, has been elected to National Academy of Sciences — one of the highest honors given to American scientists! 🎉


Congratulations to graduating neurosurgery chief resident John K. Yue, MD, who will be staying in our department next fall as an assistant professor working with the neurotrauma team at @zsfgcare! 🎉🎓 #UCSFGrads #UCSFProud
