Parsa Tadayon from @ninetlab.bsky.social published his first paper in Neuromodulation on Quantification of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound Energy Field Focality in the Cerebral Cortex - see doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... @ubcmedicine.bsky.social @sbmeubc.bsky.social

onceptual schematic of methods. a. Representation of an individualized head model with segmented anatomical structures, including skin (brown), cortical bone (yellow), cancellous bone (red), cerebrospinal fluid (blue), gray matter (gray), and white matter (white). These segmentations were used to generate subject-specific computational models for TMS and LIFU simulations. b. Cortical parcellation using the Destrieux atlas in FreeSurfer, highlighting the left MFGyr (middle) and left MFSulc (right), which were analyzed to quantify regional differences in energy deposition. c. Comparison of simulated energy fields for LIFU (left) and TMS (right). LIFU generates a highly focal acoustic field, whereas TMS induces a broader electric field distribution spanning multiple cortical areas. d. Thresholding approach for energy distribution analysis in both modalities. The boundary of the energy field is defined at 30%, 50%, and 70% of the peak value to quantify the extent and focality of stimulation.

Samantha Pang explored the use of peri-operative patient- and parent-reported experience and outcome measures to identify paediatric postsurgical recovery trajectories. See doi.org/10.1111/anae... @anaesjournal.bsky.social @ubcmedicine.bsky.social @part-bcch.bsky.social @bcchresearch.bsky.social

Trajectories of postoperative outcomes from growth mixture modelling, divided into three groups with patterns of good (dark green), intermediate (blue) and poor (dark red) outcomes: (a) average pain score (total n = 424; low, n = 159, 37.5%; medium, n = 112, 26.4%; high, n = 153, 36.1%); (b) worst pain score (total n = 424; low, n = 137, 32.3%; medium, n = 274, 64.6%; high, n = 13, 3.1%); (c) pain interference (total n = 258; low, n = 77, 29.8%; medium, n = 153, 59.3%; high, n = 28, 10.9%); (d) mobility (total n = 424; good, n = 191, 45.1%; intermediate, n = 174, 41.0%; poor, n = 59, 13.9%). For (a), (b) and (c), lower scores are better; for (d), higher scores are better. Pain scores were reported using a sliding scale that was converted to an 11-point (0–10) numeric score.

UBC is hosting US Applicant Week from April 14-18, which allows US students to apply during an extended application period for graduate studies. Sixty graduate programs will be reopening applications for US applicants for September 2025 and January 2026 start dates - www.grad.ubc.ca/us-applicant...

From April 14-18, select UBC graduate programs at UBC Vancouver will re-open their applications for US citizens to be considered for September 2025 or January 2026 entry - they are ready to provide quick admissions decisions for these applicants. If you are a prospective graduate student from the United States considering Canada for graduate school – now is the time.
