Research

Fellows are encouraged and expected to take part in research. They will be involved in major clinical trials in stroke, ICH, SAH, status epilepticus, TBI, and SCI. Datasets are available for analysis in multiple outcomes projects (SAH/ICH, ECMO, large hemispheric infarct, TBI).

Funded basic science labs in bioinformatics, translational neuroengineering, neuroinflammation / cerebral edema, and traumatic brain injury.

Current fellows have presented research at national conferences on the following topics:

MFI-5 to Predict Outcomes in Patients with Large Hemisphere Infarction Syndrome

Mono CT Predicts Malignant Cerebral Edema after Large Hemispheric Infarction

Get Up, Stand Up: Pusing the Limits of Medical Management for ICP

Glibenclamide Improves Neurological and Electrophysiological Recovery after CA

Assessment of Trainees' Performance During AIS Simulation

Heart Variability and Secondary Brain Injury in Large Hemispheric Infarct

Previous fellows have presented research at national conferences on the following topics:

hyperacute MRI after ICH
paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity in non-traumatic brain injury
alarm fatigue in the neurocritical are unit
neuroimaging in ECMO patients
neurological complications and cognitive recovery in ECMO patients
optic nerve sheath ultrasound assessment of EVD weaning
utilization of continuous physiological monitoring to detect neuro-worsening in TBI and for determination of herniation in large hemispheric infarction
application of esophageal cooing for controlled normothermia after brain hemorrhage
use of albuterol for bradycardia in spinal cord injury
biomarkers of neuroinflammation in intracerebral hemorrhage
