Welcome to MD News Lower Hudson/Bronx. Our cover story profiles Brian J. Snyder, MD, functional neurosurgeon with Neurological Surgery, P.C. Dr. Snyder focuses on treating neurological conditions that haven't responded to anatomic surgery or other typical treat- ments. He applies a range of innovative, life-changing interventions to patients with functional challenges, particularly patients living with epilepsy, chronic pain, movement disorders and psychiatric illness. Dr. Snyder has expertise in a number of surgeries, including DBS and NeuroPace, and is certified in both Gamma Knife and CyberKnife radiosurgeries. The legalization of marijuana use in many states has coincided with increased use of the drug by pregnant women. A feature in our special clinical section about women's health examines this alarming trend. We also look at factors driving women to undergo double mastectomy even when it is unlikely to provide a survival benefit. And we present a trove of other data about women's health. You will also find news and tips about the business of medicine, and we bring you up to date on healthcare-related happenings in the region with our People in the News and Local News sections. MD News can update referring physicians on state-of-the- art treatments and technologies your organization utilizes to enhance patient care.
