🎓 Congrats to the 3 Cs — Drs. Cavaleri, Chartrain, and Chung — on successfully completing 7 years of neurosurgery residency training! I remember Intern Bootcamp like it was yesterday. Job well done! These 3 talented surgeons exemplify Confidence, Character & Collaboration, and will continue to set the bar even higher.
Graduating from our elite USC #Neurosurgery residency program, they’re headed to fellowships @CUNeurosurgery, @Neurosurgery_CS and Cornell.

Our paper on the “sweetspot” for focused ultrasound in essential tremor was finally published last week in science advances! So happy to finally share this work and so thankful to everyone who helped make this happen.

Super proud of our all star med student Alexandra Demetriou and our @USCBTC team, who led the #ORIEN consortium analysis of #GBM multi-omic data, focusing on EGFR. Just published in Neuro-Oncology Advances ⬇️

Excited to share our case-matched study of focused ultrasound thalamotomy for essential tremor patients with low skull density ratio (SDR) published in @FrontNeurol @sarah_blitz_ @MelissaChuaMD @rees_cosgrove @NeurosurgeryUSC @BWHNeurosurgery tinyurl.com/4r4vzy97. A thread🧵..
Imbalance was observed more often in high SDR patients on postoperative day 1 and month 3. Despite these promising results for patients with low SDR, there was a higher chance of procedure failure in the low SDR group with 3 patients not obtaining an appropriately sized lesion.
Low SDR has been used as an exclusion criteria in major trials of MRgFUS thalamotomy for medication-refractory essential tremor. This study adds to growing evidence that low-SDR patients can, in fact, be safely and effectively treated with MRgFUS. #neurosurgery #FUS

@NeurosurgeryUSC was thrilled to be an initial site for the #ENRICH trial just published in @NEJM. Congrats to my friend Gustavo Pradilla and @EmoryNeurosurg!
#Neurosurgery #Stroke – at Los Angeles, CA
In the ENRICH trial of minimally invasive cerebral hematoma removal within 24 hours after onset of hemorrhage, functional outcomes were better with surgery than with medical treatment, particularly among patients with lobar hemorrhages. Full trial results: nej.md/3VPYggf

What an honor it was to have Robert Spetzler join us last week as a visiting professor @NeurosurgeryUSC. Truly inspired by the example he has set.
