Teaching Neuro-Ophthalmology in the Asia-Pacific Region and China: A Personal Perspective
Abstract: Over the last 30 years, I have been involved in a number of projects helping to educate and train local ophthalmologists in many parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands, which lack adequate training and service in neuro-ophthalmology. In this article, I offer an overview of a number of different teaching initiatives and offer practical suggestions to anyone who might wish to become involved.

Palliative care education in U.S. adult neuro-oncology fellowship programs
ConclusionsNeuro-oncology PDs recognize the need for PC education, which is currently offered in some form by most programs, but the content and methods of delivery are heterogenous. Interdisciplinary educational teams and nationally-available PC educational material may improve implementation of PC education in neuro-oncology.

Hospital teaching status associated with reduced inpatient mortality and perioperative complications in surgical neuro-oncology
ConclusionTHs are performing more brain tumor surgeries over time with lower rates of inpatient mortality and perioperative complications even after controlling for hospital case volume. These results suggest a shift in neuro-oncology practice patterns favoring THs to optimize patient outcomes especially at the highest volume centers.

Sara—the Search and Rescue Dog—and her Game of Fetch
Editor’s note: Jana Sweeny is the American Red Cross’s Director of International Communications. She and her team are traveling around Colombia this week, visiting communities made safer by the Red Cross.
As we walk into the Colombian Red Cross training center in Pereira, a yellow lab comes bouncing up, waving her tail enthusiastically. The ball in her mouth turns out to be a lime and she is ready to play fetch. Because I can never say no to a dog, I begin a game of “fetch the lime” with her.
It turns out that Sara isn’t just a fun companion–she is a retired search and rescue dog. The Colo...

Authorship Order in Medical Education Publications: In Search of Practical Guidance for the Community.
This study describes principles commonly applied to authorship order decisions within the medical education community and educators' opinions about the significance of authorship order. Approach: A questionnaire was developed to ascertain current practices related to authorship decisions. Sixteen items were rated in terms of frequency of actual use and the desirability of the practice using a 4-point rating scale: 1 (never), 2 (sometimes), 3 (often), and 4 (always). Additional questions addressed the perceived significance of authorship order. The last set of questions provided information about respondents' personal and c...

Teaching NeuroImages: Diffuse cerebral neurosarcoidosis mimicking gliomatosis cerebri
A 30-year-old man with a history of bipolar disease presented with 6 months of cognitive decline, unsteady gait, urinary retention, and bilateral upper extremity tremors. Multiple punctate enhancing lesions were seen on brain MRI (figure). Differential diagnosis included infection (viral, tuberculosis, or cryptococcus), toxic leukoencephalopathy, gliomatosis cerebri, angiocentric lymphoma, and neurosarcoidosis. CT chest scan, CSF studies, HIV testing, hepatitis panel, drug screen, and vasculitis panel were negative. Brain biopsy revealed neurosarcoidosis. The patient responded well to high-dose steroids and IV cyclophospha...

Teaching NeuroImages: Recurrent oculomotor palsies caused by neurosarcoidosis
A 53-year-old man presented with a recurrent left fourth nerve and acute left third nerve palsy (figure 1). Brain MRI showed leptomeningeal and oculomotor nerve contrast enhancement (figure 2). CSF examination indicated chronic lymphocytic meningitis with massively increased soluble interleukin (IL)-2 receptor and IL-6.1 Extensive infectious disease workup remained unremarkable. [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT revealed active deep cervical lymph nodes containing noncaseating granulomas (figure 2). No pulmonary or other systemic manifestation was found, consistent with clinically isolated neurosarcoidosis.2 Upon immun...

Clinical spectrum and outcome of neurosarcoidosis: A retrospective cohort study from a teaching hospital in India
Conclusions: NS is a diverse illness, with a heterogeneous spectrum of clinical presentation, treatment response, and outcome. Cranial neuropathy is the most common presenting feature and has a good prognosis while myelopathy has an unfavorable prognosis. Meningeal and brain parenchymal disease is difficult to diagnose accurately unless systemic involvement is present. The diagnosis of NS should be clinically suspected in the appropriate clinical setting, the presence of systemic involvement should be investigated, and histologic confirmation should be attempted.

Neuro-ophthalmology output in high-impact clinical ophthalmology and neurology journals
CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that there was a lower prevalence of neuro-ophthalmology papers in high-impact-factor general clinical ophthalmology and neurology journals over the last 10 years. It is important to have good representation of neuro-ophthalmology studies in such journals to promote best neuro-ophthalmic practices among all clinicians.PMID:37040867 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcjo.2023.03.008

Resiliency intervention for patient-caregiver dyads in the Neuro-ICU: Study protocol for a single-blind randomized clinical trial
DISCUSSION: If successful, we plan to test RT in a large-scale, multisite hybrid effectiveness-implementation study in Neuro-ICUs across the country. Enhancing psychosocial supports for patients and families could improve health outcomes, healthcare efficiency, and the culture of these units.PMID:36368480 | DOI:10.1016/j.cct.2022.106998

Design and Validation of an Open Source Partial Task Trainer for Endonasal Neuro-endoscopic Skills Development: Indian Experience
Conclusions The NET, a face and construct valid open-source partial task neuro-endoscopic trainer, was designed. Pre-simulation novice neurosurgeons and neurosurgical residents described having insufficient skill and preparation to practice neuro-endoscopy. Plate tilt and endoscope angle were shown to be important factors in participant performance. The NET was found to be a useful partial-task trainer for skill building in neuro-endoscopy.
