Excited to share some of my PhD work out today in @NatureCancer! Integrating bulk and single-nucleus genomic approaches, we identify distinct determinants of survival and acquired resistance to ICB versus standard chemoradiation in glioblastoma. nature.com/articles/s43018-0âŠ

Excited to share a new perspectives piece on AI in surgery! Instead of making every surgeon an AI expert, we centralized risk assessment to a small team & screened 2200+ GI patients, moving AI from proof-of-concept to real clinical workflows. Read it here: journals.lww.com/aosopen/fulâŠ

Happy Holidays from the Purdon Lab!
As we wrap up the year, weâre grateful for the collaborations, progress, and community that made this such a meaningful year for our lab. Weâre excited to share a few highlights from the past months and to look ahead to whatâs coming next.

A new retrospective study indicates that peripheral nerve block administration in orthopaedic surgery is associated with increased short-term opioid prescriptions but a reduced incidence of chronic pain diagnosis at 1 year.

Prescription opioid harms are worse than the headlines suggest.
Our new JAMA Viewpoint shows where FDA oversight hasnât kept paceâand how to fix it.

What are the mechanisms underlying variable expressivity in monogenetic disorders?
@bloodgenes, @michaelpoeschla @BostonChildrens show polygenetic modifiers affect penetrance and expressivity in telomere biology disorders.

New publication from our lab investigating hand conditions in pregnancy and postpartum @JHSGlobalOnline. Great work @gabysmith36, Bill Young (MS3), and @ATitanMD!

Surprising finding on nerve blocks and postop opioid use that align with what we observed in REGAIN. Merits a deeper look to learn more.

A new paper discussing the importance of federal, institutional, and programmatic support for physician scientist trainees. The same can easily apply to biomedical trainees. We as a nation need to support the next generation of doctors and researchers! rdcu.be/etaiE
A powerful new piece in @NatureMedicine by APSA past presidents & board members discusses how funding cuts could disrupt the physician-scientist pipeline and future of biomedical innovation, and outline urgent solutions to safeguard the next generation. rdcu.be/etaiE

What does surgery reveal about brain resilience?
Anesthesiologists Martin Angst & Igor Feinstein are studying older adults before, during & after cardiac surgery to explore how stress impacts the brainâwhy some recover cognitively while others decline.

To illustrate how brain rhythms may affect cognition, Purdon sings a few bars of âFly Me to the Moon.â EEG data collected by his team during surgical anesthesia suggest these brain-wave recordings may reflect brain health and could be further developed to help measure resilience.
Rory Vu Mather retweeted
Can brain waves during surgery predict whoâs at higher risk after?
Whatâs going on:
Every year, millions of people die after surgery. Doctors need better ways to spot whoâs most at riskâwhile the surgery is happening.

Stanford research says using EEG to guide anesthesia in a pediatric patient with Alexander's Disease reduced recovery time by 50%. This approach showed how EEG can improve anesthetic care, particularly for patients with rare neurodevelopmental diseases. hubs.ly/Q03dqtfF0
Rory Vu Mather retweeted
New research by @PurdonLab shows that brain waves during surgery, specifically alpha waves (8-12 Hz), may predict recovery risks. EEG monitors, already available in hospitals, could offer real-time, low-burden risk assessments. hubs.ly/Q03cc1yn0

Here we highlight the impact of physician social scientists and the imperative to expand the pipeline through advocacy and enhanced support for MD-PhD training in the social sciences. The need has never been greater. @NIHAging @NIH @harvardmed @MIT

Here we show that anesthetic-induced neural signals from EEG can be used as a direct measure of an Alexanderâs Disease young patientâs anesthetics sensitivity. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articleâŠ
