He estat el Cap de Servei de Neurocirurgia de l'Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron (HUVH) des del mes de juliol del 2009 fins al mes de juny del 2021 i sóc Catedràtic del Departament de Cirurgia de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona des de l'octubre del 2020. A més, exerceixo el càrrec de coordinador de la Unitat de Recerca de Neurotraumatologia i Neurocirurgia (UNINN), unitat multidisciplinària en què investigadors clínics i bàsics col·laboren en el desenvolupament de recerca translacional en tres línies consolidades: neurotraumatologia, hidrocefàlia i malformacions congènites de la unió craneocervical i en una línia emergent de neurooncologia. L'HUVH i la UNINN formen part de l'European Brain Injury Consortium (EBIC), una xarxa d'hospitals que es consideren centres d'excel·lència en el tractament del traumatisme cranioencefàlic. Sóc membre del comitè executiu de l'EBIC, membre del comitè directiu de la xarxa Brain IT i col·laborador i revisor de la Cochrane Collaboration, de la McMaster Online Rating of Evidence (MORE) i de Faculty of 1000. Les meves àrees clíniques d'interès són: La cirurgia de les malformacions complexes de la xarnela craneocervical, la cirurgia de la base del crani, el tractament de les alteracions de la dinàmica del líquid cefaloraquidi i els traumatismes craneoencefàlics.
Research lines Neurotraumatology and acute neurological pathology (Consolidated Line) General aims: To study the neurochemical, physiopathological and cerebral metabolism alterations, as well as the application of new monitoring techniques in patients who have suffered a head injury (TBI) or other acute neurological pathology (neurocritical patients). Specific aims: 1) To deepen the knowledge of metabolic alterations and oxygen transport at the tissue level in acute brain injuries. 2) Deepen the repercussions of anemia and blood transfusions on the ability to supply oxygen to the brain (research project La Marató TV3 201724 30 31). 3) To study the cerebral and systemic inflammatory response induced by acute brain injury, using high-resolution microdialysis techniques. 4) To analyze the phenomena of periinfarct depolarization in patients with acute brain injuries and their metabolic repercussions. 5) Applications of high-resolution microdialysis to the definition of the molecular profile of post-traumatic and ischemic cerebral edema and study of the contribution of non-selective cation channels in its formation. 6) Study mitochondrial dysfunction in patients who have suffered a TBI and develop a histotoxic hypoxia model from cultures in adult human brain slices obtained in surgical resections. 7) Validate the use of early blood cell biomarkers to define specific risk populations in adult and pediatric patients who have presented a mild TBI (BRAINI2 research project). IP: Joan Sahuquillo Barris Hydrocephalus and alterations in the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (Consolidated Line) General aim: Hydrocephalus is a very frequent pathology in the neurosurgical field, especially in pediatric patients. Its presence can lead to cognitive sequelae and disability that may be preventable with proper treatment. Our group has focused on a better understanding of its pathophysiology, on improving early diagnoses, and on the development of more specific biomarkers aimed at improving the clinical outcomes of these patients. Specific aims: 1) Acquire new knowledge about the pathophysiology of normal pressure hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) and optimize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in these patients. 2) To establish the brain biochemical alterations (neurotransmitters and neuropeptides) that occur in these patients and their involvement in cognitive functions and sleep disorders. 3) To correlate the cognitive deficit with the morphological and functional alterations of different brain structures such as the corpus callosum and the subcortical white matter. 4) Search for less invasive systems that offer reliable information on intracranial pressure (SafeICP research project). IP: Ma Antonia Poca Pastor, Joan Sahuquillo Barris Congenital malformations of the cranio-vertebral junction (Consolidated line) General aims: Chiari malformation is an entity that is diagnosed more and more frequently. The fundamental diagnostic element of this congenital malformation is a descent of the cerebellum towards the cervical canal, which produces local compression phenomena and alterations in the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid. However, there are great discrepancies about how the study and treatment of these patients is carried out in the different centers, which affects their final result. Our main objective in this line of research is to better understand the origin and repercussions of these malformations and contribute to improving treatment and, therefore, its final result. Specific aims: 1) To deepen the knowledge of the pathophysiology of craniocervical malformations, especially Chiari Type 1 (MC-1) malformation, and to quantify the repercussion of these malformations in the clinical, social, and occupational fields. 2) Study the genetic bases of this malformation and its penetrance at the family level. 3) To study sleep disturbances (particularly the type and frequency of nocturnal apnea) associated with CM-1. 4) Study of the quality of life in patients with a malformation of the craniocervical joint before and after surgical treatment. 5) To deepen the knowledge of the cognitive-affective syndrome that patients affected by CM-1 may present (research project FIS PI22/01082). 6) Contribute to the homogenization in the management of MC-1 from the participation of our group in the consensus conferences aimed at the elaboration of clinical practice guidelines to be applied in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
