Greetings, physicians and other healthcare leaders, and welcome to MD News Long Island. This month's cover story features John A. Grant, MD, FACS, BCh, MB, neurosurgeon and Director of Pediatric Brain Tumors with the Long Island Brain Tumor Center at Neurological Surgery, P.C., who is dedicated to providing tailored care to children with brain tumors and malforma- tions. In this article, Dr. Grant discusses presentation signs of brain tumors and malformations from pregnancy to high school-age children as well as symptoms and options for treatment, including surgery. In our clinical section on degenerative disease, we talk with researchers who are calling for aggressive action to address Parkinson's disease, which is nearing pandemic proportions. We also review a study that adds to the growing understanding of the link between traumatic brain injury and dementia risk.
