Medical professionals can oftentimes fall under the category of "second victims", as they experience burnout and moral injury from the impacts of their work. Over the course of a neurointerventionalist's medical career, serious complications in procedures are sadly inevitable. These can be difficult to process, and there are not always the systems in place to provide the support needed, either inside or outside of the hospital. A new survey has been carried out to assess the severity and prevalence of negative psychological effects on physicians who have experienced these complications. Dr. Ansaar Rai¹ joins JNIS Editor-in-Chief Dr. Michael Chen to discuss the original research piece, "Unseen wounds: a multinational investigation of neurointerventionalists on the psychological toll of complications".

Pulsatile tinnitus — the perception of a rhythmic sound in sync with the heartbeat — can be a key indicator of underlying vascular or structural pathology. In this episode, JNIS new Editor-in-Chief Dr. Michael Chen speaks with Dr. Madhavi Duvvuri and Dr. Matthew Robert Amans, authors of Non-invasive imaging modalities for diagnosing pulsatile tinnitus: a comprehensive review and recommended imaging algorithm. They are both from the University of California San Francisco, USA. They discuss the current evidence base, highlight the strengths and limitations of non-invasive imaging techniques such as MRI, MRA, CT, and CTA, and outline a practical algorithm for streamlining diagnosis.
