Aim & Scope
The aim of the SVOA Neurology journal is to provide a comprehensive platform for the publication of high-quality scientific research and advancements in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery. The journal seeks to disseminate cutting-edge knowledge, innovative techniques, and evidence-based practices to neurologists, neurosurgeons, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals involved in the management of neurological disorders and neurosurgical interventions. It aims to foster collaboration, facilitate interdisciplinary approaches, and contribute to the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of neurological conditions.
The journal covers a wide range of topics within the fields of neurology and neurosurgery, including but not limited to:
Neurological disorders: Original research articles, clinical studies, and case reports that focus on the investigation, diagnosis, medical management, and surgical treatment of various neurological disorders. This encompasses research related to neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, brain tumors, spinal disorders, neuroinfections, epilepsy, movement disorders, neuroimmunology, neuro-oncology, and neurogenetics.
Neurosurgical techniques and innovations: Research involving neurosurgical techniques, innovations, and advancements in the field. This includes studies on surgical approaches, minimally invasive techniques, image-guided surgery, neuroendoscopy, functional neurosurgery, neurostimulation, stereotactic radiosurgery, and neurosurgical navigation. The scope also covers surgical outcomes, complications, and long-term follow-up studies.
Neuroimaging and diagnostic techniques: Research focused on neuroimaging modalities and diagnostic techniques in neurology and neurosurgery. This includes studies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and other advanced imaging modalities used for diagnostic, planning, and monitoring purposes.
Neurocritical care: Research related to the critical care management of patients with neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and neurosurgical complications. This encompasses studies on neurointensive care, monitoring techniques, neuroprotective strategies, and neurorehabilitation in the critical care setting.
Neuro-oncology: Research focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of brain and spinal tumors. This includes studies on surgical approaches, adjuvant therapies, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and personalized medicine for patients with neuro-oncological conditions.
Neuromodulation and neurostimulation: Research involving the application of neuromodulation and neurostimulation techniques in the management of neurological disorders. This includes studies on deep brain stimulation (DBS), spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and other emerging neuromodulation modalities.
