Core Competencies for Rutgers New Jersey Medical School - RBHS

Vanderbilt University - Neurovascular Surgery - YouTube - Femoral Artery Access - Ed Asham, MD.

Saint Luke's Hospital - Brain and Stroke Institute - Kansas City, Missouri - YouTube - Cerebral Angiogram - Coleman Martin, MD - "This 6 minute video produced by Dr. Coleman Martin at the Saint Luke's Brain and Stroke Institute in Kansas City, Missouri demonstrates an angiogram (arteriogram) of brain. Catheter angiography is the basis of neurointerventional procedures. This video gives patients, students and the public a sense of how an angiogram is performed and the unique images provided by this minimally invasive medical test."

Medical University of South Carolina - Cervical Laminectomy and Intradural Resection of Spinal Cord Neurofibroma in Patient with NF-1 - Bruce Frankel, MD, Neurosurgeon.

Nucleus - Health Literacy - Animation Library - Posterior Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion - "This 3D medical animation shows the normal anatomy of the cervical spine and age-related wear and tear that narrows the vertebral canal. A posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and stabilize the spine is also shown."

Neuroscience Group - Preparing for an EEG - Jeanne Keiler, Registered Neurodiagnostic Technologist - "Jeanne Keiler, a registered neurodiagnostic technologist at Neuroscience Group, explains the process of an EEG test, what types of patients require an EEG and how patients can prepare for the test. EEG (electroencephalogram) is a brainwave test that records the electrical activity of the brain, similar to the way an EKG records the heart's rhythm. This test is normally used on people who have undergone neurological problems including fainting spells, blackout, dizziness and head trauma."

University of Essex - Department of Psychology - Centre for Brain Science - Electroencephalography (EEG) - Helge Gillmeister, Ph.D., Lecturer.

Nucleus - Health Literacy - Animation Library - Lumbar Laminectomy - "Lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure in which a surgeon removes the back of the some of the bones in the spine called vertebrae. The surgeon may also remove parts of the disc, which is the cushioning tissue between each vertebrae."

The New England Journal of Medicine - Videos in Clinical Medicine - Lumbar Puncture. "This video will demonstrate safe and successful methods of performing lumbar puncture. Lumbar puncture is indicated for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Also, the administration of spinal and epidural anesthesia involves the use essentially of the same technique. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid may be helpful in the diagnosis of infectious processes such as meningitis, inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancers such as leukemia, and metabolic processes. Therapeutically, lumbar puncture allows for the intrathecal administration of chemotherapeutic agents and antibiotics." Lumbar Puncture Miles S. Ellenby, M.D., Ken Tegtmeyer, M.D., Susanna Lai, M.P.H., and Dana A.V. Braner, M.D. N Engl J Med 2006; 355:e12 September 28, 2006 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMvcm054952

CSF fluid analysis can also aid in the diagnosis of various other conditions (eg, demyelinating diseases and carcinomatous meningitis)."

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy - Carlo Pizzoni MD - "Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a surgical procedure in which an opening is created in the floor of the third ventricle using an endoscope. It's is an alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement for treatment of hydrocephalus. The technique opens a hole inside the brain, this allows the cerebrospinal fluid to flow directly to the basal cisterns, thereby bypassing any obstruction. Advantages: 1) No foreign object implanted in the body, lowering the risk of infection. 2) Fewer incisions (less discomfort). 3) A lower long term complication rate compared to a ventriculoperitoneal shunt ETV is relatively safe, effective and durable. It does not, however, succeed in every patient. ETV has some potentially devastating complications, thus preoperative counseling is imperative to ensure that patients are properly guided."
