Neurosurgical Resources

Thanks Gwenith

Dear gwenith,
thanks for all these interested links and :hatparty: resource material.

Hi all,
Do any of you where I can find national data that benchmarks % of stroke related complications. i.e., aspiration, pneumonia and UTI?

Also does anyone have a source for complications rates associated with IV or IA tPA? Groin complications, systemic bleeding, MI, angioedema?

thank you in advance

Thank you so much for this wealth of info. I am starting on a neurosurgery IMC next week and feel sooooo much better with all this valuable resources.

Good Morning gwenith,
That would be from North Carolina, USA. I have a family member that has progressive headaches. After many long hours of research I have come to the conclusion it may well be hemaplegic migraines, all his symptoms fit . Now my question to you is : at birth 44 years ago he had spina bifidia, however mild it was there. There are no deficits as he has been perfectly normal through out his adult life, working in law enforcement and also a tour of combat in the military. Could there be a correlation between the two? Also can you direct me as to where I may find information other than just googling. I am an Infusion nurse and neuro is out of my field of expertise, but I am always willing to learn new things .
Thanks in advance for any information or direction you may have .
