Mahmoud Dibas, MD, and Adam A. Dmytriw, MD, MPH, MSc, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and colleagues used data from a large multicenter study to compare transradial access with transfemoral access for WEB embolization. They report the two approaches were associated with comparable radiologic and clinical outcomes.

Samuel B. Snider, MD, Ibrahim Migdady, MBBS, Rose Du, MD, PhD, of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and colleagues found the severity of transcranial doppler screening-measured vasospasm predicts radiological delayed cerebral ischemia in a vessel-specific manner.

Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging is an extremely useful tool in guiding surgical brain tumor resection but also has significant drawbacks. The Brigham’s Department of Neurosurgery is turning to an older alternative: ultrasound. Alexandra J. Golby, MD, director of image-guided neurosurgery, explains.

Tracy Young-Pearse, PhD, Valentina Lagomarsino, Richard V. Pearse II, PhD, and colleagues have created a system that fills the gap between autopsy studies and genetic studies. They’ve shown that neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) reflect molecular mechanisms underlying late-onset AD.

Physicians at the Brigham are developing various treatments to improve seizure control for patients with epilepsy. As Garth Rees Cosgrove, MD, director of epilepsy and functional neurosurgery, explains, these therapies require a great deal of diagnostic and surgical expertise along with the latest cutting-edge tools.

David J. Segar, MD, and G. Rees Cosgrove, MD, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and colleagues have reported the largest single-surgeon series of focused ultrasound thalamotomy to date. They demonstrate tremor relief and adverse event rates consistent with previous reports and present new information about predictors…
