“…Fundamental differences in publishing practices, scholarly impact, and the usage of social media research platforms appear to exist among neurosurgeons from different continents. A higher degree of collaboration among authors from different countries, facilitated by social media, which could be used both for networking as well as for active knowledge dissemination, would lead to improvements in the quality and quantity of published neurosurgical research [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Background and objectiveThere is a paucity of information regarding the concordance of traditional metrics across publicly searchable databases and about the correlation between alternative and traditional metrics for neurosurgical authors. In this study, we aimed to assess the congruence between traditional metrics reported across Google Scholar (GS), Scopus (Sc), and ResearchGate (RG). We also aimed to establish the mathematical correlation between traditional metrics and alternative metrics provided by ResearchGate. MethodsAuthor names listed on papers published in the Journal of Neurosurgery (JNS) in 2019 were collated.Traditional metrics [number of publications (NP), number of citations (NC), and author H-indices (AHi)] and alternative metrics (RG score, Research Interest score, etc. from RG and the GS i10-index) were also collected from publicly searchable author profiles. The concordance between the traditional metrics across the three databases was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman (BA) plots. The mathematical relation between the traditional and alternative metrics was analyzed. ResultsThe AHi showed excellent agreement across the three databases studied. The level of agreement for NP and NC was good at lower median counts. At higher median counts, we found an increase in disagreement, especially for NP. The RG score, number of followers on RG, and Research Interest score independently predicted NC and AHi with a reasonable degree of accuracy. ConclusionsA composite author-level matrix with AHi, RG score, Research Interest score, and the number of RG followers could be used to generate an "Impact Matrix" to describe the scholarly and real-world impact of a clinician's work.

“…The field of global neurosurgery has arisen to address the global burden of neurosurgical disease by mobilizing practice, research, policy, advocacy, and education at the intersection of neurosurgical care and public health. [41][42][43] Pediatric neurosurgeons in highincome and upper-middle-income countries account for 85.6% of all pediatric neurosurgeons. 44 In low-and lower-middle income countries, 330 pediatric neurosurgeons care for 1.2 billion children.…”

Objetivo: Aproximadamente el 70-80% de los defectos del tubo neural (DTN) responden al folato. El mioinositol se ha identificado cada vez más como una posible solución para tratar los defectos del tubo neural que no responden al folato. Brindamos una breve reseña de la evidencia existente sobre el papel del mioinositol en la prevención de los NTD y describimos su papel en los esfuerzos de promoción centrados en la prevención de los NTD. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión narrativa. Resultados:Los datos existentes sobre la eficacia de la suplementación con inositol están limitados por los tamaños de muestra bajos y los diseños de estudio principalmente observacionales. Aunque los esfuerzos de promoción con respecto a las NTD se han centrado en la fortificación y la suplementación con folato, vale la pena examinar los datos sobre la ingesta de inositol. Después de revisar los datos, planteamos que sería necesario cumplir una serie de criterios incluso antes de considerar la promoción y la política. Primero, el peso de la evidencia debe favorecer el aumento de la ingesta de inositol. En segundo lugar, debe demostrarse la rentabilidad de la política de inositol. Tercero, la política debe ser políticamente viable. En cuarto lugar, se debe generar prioridad política para la política. En quinto lugar, se debe generar una sinergia entre los esfuerzos de política de folato existentes y los esfuerzos de política de inositol. Después de examinar esa serie de criterios, Conclusión: el inositol puede representar una vía para reducir la prevalencia de nacimientos de defectos del tubo neural que no responden al folato. Dadas sus funciones clínicas en el tratamiento de la espina bífida y los defectos del tubo neural, los neurocirujanos también son fundamentales para los esfuerzos de promoción en la prevención.

“…Additionally, early exposure to g lobal neurosurgery will create a generation of neurosurgeons who are attuned to inequities in neurosurgical care locally and globally. Involvement in global health increases awareness of existing disparities (17)(18)(19); similarly, early exposure to research will allow medical students to understand the methodology, data collection and analysis, and project administration to catalyze leadership of studies to characterize disparities (20)(21)(22)(23).…”

pproximately 5 million essential neurosurgical cases are unmet each year, all in low- and middle-income countries (1). After the LancetCommission on Global Surgery described the absence of global surgery from global health discourse in January 2014 (2), the field of neurosurgery quickly recognized the importance of increasing equity in care globally (3-5). Although existing initiatives in globalneurosurgery have focused on neurosurgeons and trainees, medical students represent a promising group for sustainable long-termengagement. We characterize why medical students are fundamental to success, outline the importance of incorporating medicalstudents, and delineate how to increase medical student interest and participation in global neurosurgery.
