So thrilled to present one of my most recent meta-analyses at the upcoming 91st American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), which has won the Cerebrovascular Section Best Clinical Scientific Paper Abstract Award Resident/Fellow! Sincerely dedicate this to my loved family, and my prior and current mentors.

Who invented X-rays? Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German physicist, is credited with the discovery of X-rays in 1895. His pioneering work led to groundbreaking advancements in science and medicine.He was the first Nobel Prize winner. Indeed, Roentgen's discovery of X-rays earned him the first-ever Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901, recognizing the immense significance of his contribution to the field of science. The main thought behind X-rays was not to help orthopedic surgeons. Ironically, Roentgen's initial intent was not related to medicine at all. He was conducting experiments with cathode rays and accidentally stumbled upon X-rays while studying their properties. The potential medical applications only became apparent later, revolutionizing the field of radiology. Life-changing concepts don't always come from fields tangent to you. Roentgen's journey from a physics experiment to a medical breakthrough illustrates that life-changing concepts often emerge unexpectedly. Innovation knows no boundaries and can transcend the confines of one's field of expertise. It always comes from the environment you are within. Roentgen's discovery reinforces the idea that groundbreaking ideas can emerge from the environment and circumstances you are immersed in. Serendipity and an open-minded approach to exploration can lead to remarkable discoveries, even in unexpected places. #innovation #startup

🌍 An international consultation led by our Humanitarian Surgery Innovation fellow, Gerard McKnight, argues that an agreed definition of humanitarian surgery is needed to ensure clarity, standards, and ethics.   Supported by the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub, this is the first published study on an agreed definition of humanitarian surgery, which aims to facilitate high-quality humanitarian surgical care and further research.   Read the full study for the full definition and further insight: https://lnkd.in/eDzjARUM

Barriers to the widespread adoption of robotic surgery have worsened existing inequities in surgical care between low-/middle-income countries and high-income countries. Learn how sustainable robotic surgery programs can help via @JournalofEthics. https://lnkd.in/givmRQ2J

A novel electronic device, small and adaptable, capable of encircling the spinal cord, presents a new strategy for treating spinal injuries, known for their debilitating effects like profound disability and paralysis. Engineers, neuroscientists, and surgeons at the University of Cambridge collaborated to create these devices, employing them to capture nerve signals transmitting between the brain and the spinal cord. Diverging from existing methods, the Cambridge devices offer a comprehensive view of spinal cord activity by recording information in 360 degrees. #goodreads #latestdevelopmentsinhealthcare #techforgood https://lnkd.in/dKXMgVAB

Happy to share our recent paper in American Journal of Neuroradiology on Neqstent and short-term followup. Professor Tufail Patankar Nayyar Saleem Our paper shows very good occlusion rates at 6 months in a cohort of large and wide neck aneurysms. The beauty of the device is the ability to coil safely limiting coil prolapse and no metal component in the parent vessel. https://lnkd.in/eZMtsAXA
