Congratulations! Great teamwork & vital info since Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor (30% of all brain tumors) & the silver tsunami is upon us, w/ exponential increases in older Meningioma patients. #frailtyfighters WHO Collaborating Center for Frailty Global Frailty Network

Despite being 1 of the most effective interventions in the #medical world, mechanical thrombectomy access for stroke continues to be an issue worldwide. Luckily, Mission Thrombectomy, SVIN, and today, Fawaz Al-Mufti, MD, FSVIN, have continued to work towards bridging this access gap. World Health Organization (WHO)

Still using the #HuntHess scale from 1968 for SAH prognosis? Many in the US and internationally continue to rely on this classic scale, following guidelines from DNV and JCAHO News + Consult. But medicine evolves, and so should our tools. It's prime time for an upgrade hence myself,

August saw the revision of a classic: The Modified Hunt & Hess Scale offers more accurate SAH patient outcome predictions. Validated through 6,000+ cases from Columbia's SHOP database, it aims to replace the widely-used 1968 original scale. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/SV…

Fantastic paper by Alis J. Dicpinigaitis 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 Neuroradiology
