Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Excerpt

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has become an integral component of contemporary neurosurgical and radiation oncology practices worldwide allowing safe and effective management of malignant and benign central nervous system disorders. Ongoing advancements in SRS planning and delivery techniques are expected to further contribute to improving safety and effectiveness of SRS procedures [3]. Greater adoption of SRS therapies requires healthcare providers to better understand potential long-term risks and adverse events associated with SRS that would allow them to choose the most optimal treatment strategies and facilitate the most transparent patient counseling. There is an increasing interest in potential adverse radiation events associated with radiation scattering to organs outside the treated volume [6]. …
