Does Neurosurgery have Indications for Movement Disorders?

This paper explores the transformative role of neurosurgical interventions in managing movement disorders like Parkinsonā€™s disease, dystonia, and Tourette syndrome, with deep brain stimulation (DBS) emerging as a pivotal therapy for cases resistant to conventional treatments. Advancements in adaptive DBS and non-invasive approaches, such as magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), highlight the shift toward more precise and personalized care. While targeting regions like the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi) yields varying clinical benefits, challenges such as surgical risks, accessibility, and long-term management remain. As research progresses to optimize neuromodulation techniques and expand treatment applicability, one key question lingers: how can we ensure these cutting-edge interventions are universally accessible while maintaining their safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness?

How to Overcome Nervousness when Presenting?

Sharing updates in the R&D industry with the scientific community remains an important aspect of medicine. One way of engaging with the audience is through presenting at conferences, however the thought of speaking in front of a large crowd may be unsettling. So how do you overcome the fear and demonstrate confidence? The following article hints at a few tips to use notes when delivering a speech.

Nervous About Public Speaking? Hereā€™s How to Use Notes Like a Pro.

Speaking in front of a smaller group is different than speaking on a large stage. Hearing your own voice over the speakers, being elevated above your peers with all eyes on you in an unfamiliar environment ā€” these factors pull you out of your comfort zone and can trigger a fight or flight response, which can manifest itself as your mind going blank, either in the middle of the presentation or while fielding tough questions from the audience. So what can you do to prevent this fear from becoming a reality? Bring notes. They can make a big difference in the delivery of a presentation, especially if itā€™s your first time on a stage. The key is knowing how to prepare them, and then how to use them effectively in the moment.
