Congratulations to Dr. Catherine (Kasia) Davis who presented a poster at the 2024 International Stroke Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The poster, titled STAT3 Inhibition Reduces Infarct and Neuroinflammation in Experimental Stroke, was authored by Drs. Wenri Zhang, Nabil Alkayed and Catherine Davis; their abstract has been published in Stroke.

Congratulations to Drs. Julie Saugstad and Ursula Sandau on their recent publication titled Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles (MISEV2023): From basic to advanced approaches in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles (impact factor: 17.337). MISEV2023 is a position paper supported by the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) and is the compilation of knowledge and recommendations from ISEV expert task forces and more than 1000 researchers. Dr. Saugstad’s and Dr. Sandau’s authorship on MISEV2023 is based on their expertise and contributions as co-chairs to the cerebrospinal fluid task force. MISEV2023 aims to provide researchers with available approaches and their advantages and limitations for production, separation, and characterization of extracellular vesicles from multiple sources, including cell culture, body fluids, and solid tissues. The publication also covers advanced techniques and approaches that are currently expanding the boundaries of the field to facilitate robust scientific discoveries.

Congratulations to Drs. Tara Dhawan and Mike Aziz for their publication Should Video Laryngoscopy Replace Direct Laryngoscopy as a Primary Intubation Technique?, a contemporary review of video laryngoscopy in Current Anesthesiology Reports. 

Congratulations to Dr. Kimberly Mauer for her co-authorship of the Risks Associated with Chronic Cannabis Use on Opioid Use, Length of Stay, and Revision Rate for Patients Undergoing Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion publication that was recently accepted in The Spine Journal.
