Cadaver-free Simulation Model Feasible for Improving Residents' Craniotomy Skills
Faith C. Robertson, MD, MSc, Brian V. Nahed, MD, MSc, and colleagues demonstrated in a pilot study that a set curriculum with a synthetic model of a pterional approach helped neurosurgical residents improve their speed and technical skill scores through spaced repetition over a relatively short period, six weeks.

Interhospital Transfer Delays Care for Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
Theresa Williamson, MD, and colleagues found that of 295 patients with spinal cord injury who arrived at a level 1 trauma center via interhospital transfer and required surgery, 62% were not operated on within 24 hours post-injury—the time window established as key to best outcomes.

Novel Tandem CAR T-Cell Effective Against Heterogeneous Glioblastoma
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers have developed TanCART, the first chimeric antigen receptor T cell that targets EGFRvIII and IL-13R?2 simultaneously, and found it was effective in vitro and in murine models of heterogeneous glioblastoma, including patient-derived xenografts.
