CONFERENCES Residents, fellows and faculty are expected to attend all conferences. In case of emergencies, the resident should discuss the situation with the Chief or Senior Resident and obtain permission to leave the conference. The conference schedule allows a didactic and interactive forum to augment the resident's reading program and clinical experiences. Residents and fellows must be on time for conferences, and each resident and fellow will give a minimum of 2 presentations each year. Grand Rounds Conferences are held on Wednesday of every week from 7:30 am to 10:30 am. Residents and fellows are expected to round on the respective services before conferences begin. Journal Club is held on Wednesday evening from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm once each month. Clinical Pathological Conferences The Resident Reading Conference is held on the first Wednesday of every month. The Chief Resident assigns the reading schedule for each resident based on requests and special interests. Discussion is led by the Chief Resident and the discussant and includes brief quizzes at the end of each session. The 2006-2007 reading assignments are as follows: Resident review/board preparation format- 1 hour total, 4-15 minute blocks 1st- breakfast 2nd-material presentation-patient symptoms, macroscopic anatomic/physiologic findings, nanoscopic anatomic/physiologic (genetics) abnormalities, diagnostic testing, treatment(s), outcomes 3rd-questions & didactic discussion 4th-evaluation (15 questions in 10 minutes, 5 minutes to grade); questions from SANS (CNS website), intensive NS board review (Psarros/Moore), NS oral board review (Citow), NS board review (Alleyne) 8 blocks, 1 month review; final three months neurosurgical focus-(try to review emerging technologies) July 2006- John Steele Disorders of peripheral and autonomic nerves-metabolic neuropathies (diabetic (microvascular disease) neuropathy-third nerve, femoral nerve, autonomic nerves (hypotension, enteropariesis), renal failure amylodosis; compressive neuropathy head (SVN, glossopharyngeal/hypoglossal nerve neurinoma, central sleep apnea with chiari), arms (thoracic outlet syndromes, dorsal scapular nerve, suprascapular nerve, radial nerve compression syndromes (radial tunnel syndrome, PIS, superficial radial nerve syndrome), median nerve compression syndromes (pronator syndrome, AIS, CTS), Ulnar nerve compression syndromes (cubital tunnel syndrome, ulnar (Guyon's cannal) tunnel syndrome)) and legs (piriformis syndrome, ilioinguinal nerve, genitofemoral nerve, LFCN, femoral, saphenous, obturator, common/superficial/deep peroneal, posterior tibial (tarsal tunnel), interdigital neuritis); Traumatic/traction neuropathy (Erb-Duchenne 2 shoulder dystocia from diabetic mother/Dejerine-Klumpke brachial palsy during breach presentation, motor cycle injury); RSD. August 2006- Richard Rhiew Disorders of the spine- developmental/congenital (spina bifidas, Down's syndrome, klippel-feil, achondroplasia, etc), metabolic (osteoporosis, morquio's, sickle cell/anemia, renal failure, post radiation, etc), infection (most common ones), deformity (idiopathic, schumann's, spondylothisthesis (different types), etc), trauma (OCD, cervical, thoraco-lumbar (denis), sacral), degenerative (OPLL, DDD (discectomy, art disc), approaches and risks (ant-retrograde ejec, diabetes-blindness)), neoplasms (osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma/chondroma, osteo/chondrosacroma, chordoma) September 2006- Anthony Lee Disorders of nociception, voluntary movement and brain function (epilepsy and psychiatric disease)-central pain syndromes (glossopharyngeal neuralgia), movement disorders and spacticity/rigidity, epilepsy/psychosurgery October 2006- John Steele Disorders of cephalo-spino vascular system- AVM, AVF Aneurysm, subclavial steal, CEA, developmental, acquired, SSS thrombosis, CVA syndromes November 2006- Mark Hoeprich Management of craniospinal trauma-review of guidelines (adults (25mmHg) and children (20mmHg)) December 2006- Todd Francis Craniospinal neoplasms and syndromes- pituitary/pineal disease, neurofibromatosis, gliomas January 2007- Richard Rhiew Pediatric neurologic disorders- Embryonic, fetal, neonatal, infantile developments; all neural tube folding disorders in relation to their occurrence/location (brain-anancephaly, holoprocencephaly, dermal sinuses, encephalocele, schizencephaly, dandy-walker, arachnoid cysts, chiaris, TORCH), HCP (aqueductal stenosis, IVH, idiopathic, post-meningitic (including organisms)), synostoses (idiopathic and syndromic) February 2007- Mark Hoeprich Genetics (nanoscopic anatomy and physiology) of neurological disease and cutting edge technology/treatments- review of neurosurgically important syndromes (Phacomatoses (NF (central and von Recklinghausen's Dz), VHL, Sturge-Webber, Proteus)) March 2007- Todd Francis Review April 2007- Fellow Neurosurgical focus review 1 May 2007- Fellow Neurosurgical focus review 2 June 2007- Anthony Lee Neurosurgical focus review 3 Morbidity & Mortality Conferences are held on first Wednesday of every month, 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Journal Club is held on Wednesday evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM once each month. Interesting articles published in journals relevant to neurosurgery and neuroscience is discussed in this conference. Residents present a 3-minute capsule summary of each article, followed by an interactive discussion. Grand Rounds Conferences are held on Wednesday of every week from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM
Clinical Pathological Conferences Clinical Pathological conferences are held on fourth Wednesday of every month, 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. This is a conference devoted to the presentation of interesting cases from the previous month, with complete radiological, pathological, and clinical correlation. For date and time, see Monthly Schedule The motor skills lab is a cadaver based experience in which operative approaches are practiced in a hands on lab. Each session has a short didactic period, and with accompanying handouts, the resident is proctored by senior faculty during the procedures. The lab combines the opportunity to practice operative approaches and obtain familiarity with the equipment. Objective : To report the incidence of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAD) as a casual risk factor in patients presenting with first ever acute ischemic stroke (AIS) to a comprehensive stroke center. |
