The menu of our website has just been updated, and now includes a Search function. This is a Google functionality that we integrated in our website, to help you search all Articles, Posts, Videos and other content from one single source.
The icon to Google Buzz has been deleted as it was hardly used. Our other social networks (Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn) are actively used and will be continued.
Furthermore, some rearrangements have been done, and the Apps section has been expanded with updated subheadings on NeuroMind and SNI Mobile.
New additions are expected soon. Stay tuned!
NeuroMind 2.0 for Android is now available for download from Google Play (formerly known as the Android Market)! It is a free update with many improvements!
NeuroMind 2.0 on Android

The system can easily be expanded to facilitate guideline implementation in a fast and individualized manner. Furthermore, NeuroMind 2.0 now contains almost 100 scores that are relevant for your neurosurgical practice.
More information is available here, and the underlying philosophy is explained in this video. You can click the Play-logo below to download:

And here is number 5 out of 5 of the surgical guidelines of the Brain Trauma Foundation: depressed cranial fractures. In my earlier posts you read about on epidural hematoma, acute subdural hematoma, traumatic parenchymal lesions, and posterior fossa mass lesions. Before implementing the final part I needed to fix a technical problem. I ended up creating a workaround that does the job, so here we go…
Step 1: the original text-version of the guideline’s recommendations
Step 2: create a flowchart

Note that the double line around the first decision moment is my way to indicate that both factors should be present (a logical AND-operator).
Step 3: convert into an app!
As you can see, the text is a little too long for the iPhone’s display. Of course, on iPad there is no problem because of the larger screen. I have not tested this one on Android yet. At least this is something I have to work on, probably I should decrease the font size on iPhone a little bit.
So, here is how the full Brain Trauma Foundation section on the surgical guidelines look in the iPhone menu of NeuroMind 2:
Now they’re just in the order in which they appear in the guidelines. Probably I will change this into alphabetical order later on… The latest developments on NeuroMind 2 are available here.
