Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Prognostic Practices for Post-Anoxic Status Epilepticus; A Survey

University of Florida Department of Neurology are conducting a research study to investigate the diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic practices of adult cardiac arrest patients who have experienced status epilepticus, and to determine the presence and possible extent of practice variability at different centers.

Our survey aims to characterize the heterogeneity in monitoring and diagnostic practices for patients with PASE. We also aim to capture the current beliefs regarding factors associated with good or poor prognosis, and the variability in treatment approaches. To date, no literature has been published on this specific practice issue. This survey has been beta tested and refined subsequently.

Practice patterns of Canadian neurosurgeons for initial placement of ventriculoperitoneal shunts – a Delphi study on the benefits and challenges of implementing laparoscopic approaches

The Canadian Neurosurgery Research Collaborative (CNRC) in partnership with investigators at the University of Alberta ask that you consider aiding our team in the recruitment of participants in our study. Sincere thanks to those who have participated in the first round of the Delphi survey! In this second round we have included ideas and issues not presented in the first round.

Specifically, we are distributing surveys to practicing neurosurgeons in Canada to understand the current opinions and practices of laparoscopy in shunt placement. We anticipate that there will be 1 further survey taking 5-10 minutes each to complete that will be sequentially distributed over a period of time. There is no obligation for ongoing participation. Eligibility entails anyone who is currently a practicing neurosurgeon in Canada.

Use of a portable low-field MRI in multiple sclerosis (MS)

The main objectives of this survey are to:

  • Determine whether there is a need for increased access to MRI in remote communities for the diagnostic workup and monitoring of MS
  • Determine the technical standards for portable low-field MRI to be of clinical use in MS 

The results of this survey will guide MRI sequence development and validation studies using portable low-field MRI for MS lesion detection.
