The Global Neurotrauma Outcomes Study (GNOS) aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the management of neurotrauma worldwide. Centres can be registered to gather data concerning traumatic brain injury patients seen in any consecutive 30-day period between 1st October 2018 and 1st October 2019. So far, 54 sites have registered for the study across 31 different countries. Of these, 70% have begun data collection and 19% have completed data collection.

Evidence-Based Optimization of Post-Treatment Surveillance for Skull Base Chordomas Based on Local and Distant Disease Progression
Written by Dom Mahoney, MSChordomas continue to present a significant clinical challenge in skull base neurosurgery. Not only does the location of these lesions often necessitate anatomically complex approaches, but seeding along the surgical tract and the neuraxis is common. Optimal surveillance imaging regimes following surgery for chordoma resection is a source of some contention. The authors of this article compare various protocols to identify which is superior in elucidating recurrences.

Neurosurgical digital teaching in low-middle income countries: beyond the frontiers of traditional education
Written by Paolo De Sanctis
Neurosurgical training is usually based on traditional sources of education, such as papers, books, direct surgical experience, and cadaveric hands-on courses. In low-middle income countries, standard education programs are often unavailable, mainly owing to the lack of human and economic resources. Introducing digital platforms in these settings could be an alternative solution for bridging the gap between Western and poor countries in neurosurgical knowledge.

Title: 3rd Mapping Course
Date: November 20th-23rd, 2018
Location: University of Bellvitge, Barcelona, Spain
The “3rd Mapping Course” is four-day event endorsed by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) and the Sociedad Española de Neurocirurgía (SENEC). Across this course the main experts in brain intraoperative mapping will cover the theoretical and practical bases of several techniques, including white matter fiber tractography using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for intraoperative navigation and intraoperative neurophysiological mapping and monitoring. Moreover, it will be possible to watch, on streaming or on demand, two live surgeries in which all these techniques will be put into practice.

Global Neurotrauma Outcomes Study 1 (GNOS‐1)
Written by Dom Mahoney, MS
Trauma remains the leading cause of death among those under the age of 45, with brain injury playing a significant role in determining mortality. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), therefore, exerts a considerable burden on healthcare systems, with remarkable geographical differences in treatments. The WFNS has collaborated with the NHS National Institute for Health Research to comprehensively investigate the surgical management of TBI. This is the first worldwide study of this nature, and the investigators invite you and your unit to participate.
