from the Publisher E L C O M E T O T H E June issue of MD Ne ws L ong Isla nd, and thanks for making the magazine a regular part of your reading agenda. Many physicians share the passion to make a difference for patients, wherever the need exists. Here on Long Island, physicians at Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC) are making all the difference for patients with spinal disorders. Scoliosis is a common spinal disorder that is becoming more prevalent in adults as the population ages. Regardless of age, early referral to a neurologist for possible preventive measures and nonoperative therapies may be effective in restoring patients' quality of life. Specialists at NSPC treat the full spectrum of spinal disorders, from common to complex, and can offer solutions for those who have had unsuccessful previous treatments. Our special clinical section about men's health checks in on the latest developments from the PSA screening debate and looks into male infertility diagnostics that may bypass the need for testicular biopsy. We also consider what in vitro fertilization could offer if research currently underway proves practicable. Your thoughts, as always, are welcome.
